India vs Australia live score, India 25-0. Two reviews in that over from Josh Hazlewood, both not out! Rohit and Gill survive lbw calls. Both too high. Rohit was given out and India reviewed. Gill was given not out and Australia reviewed.
India vs Australia live score, India 18-0, chasing 407. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill doing okay so far. Rohit in particular has been positive. They're not going into their shells, scoring runs is also important.
India vs Australia live score, India 4-0, chasing 407. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have started on a slightly positive note. Rohit trying to pull Mitchell Starc first ball. Tough work ahead.
India, understandably, not too pleased.
The Indian camp looks understandably displeased with the crowd trouble. Coach Ravi Shastri has had an animated chat with the team’s security officer on tour #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/TNrbP9FrPY

A send off from the umpire?
Well that's a new signal from Blocker!

India vs Australia live score, AUS 312-6 - WICKET AND TEA: Cameron Green misses a century. Just 16 short of a maiden ton. Looks to slog Jasprit Bumrah but gets a faint nick to the keeper. Along with that, Tea has been called. Will Australia declare in the break?
Reactions to the SCG drama
Very unfortunate to see what’s happening at SCG. There is no place for this rubbish. Never understood the need to yell abuse at players on a sporting field.. If you’re not here to watch the game and can’t be respectful, then pls don’t come and spoil the atmosphere. #AUSvIND

Play resumes. A group of 4 guys have been asked to leave their seats, escorted by security officials. Very unfortunate scenes from the SCG.
Scenes from SCG
And again. This is complete nonsense now. Just stop the game till the security don’t throw these rascals out. It is a disgrace of the very highest order. #SCG and they are flashing this on the scoreboard. pic.twitter.com/bxisIva8wr

A stoppage in play as Ajinkya Rahane complains to the umpires about crowd trouble. Not good scenes from the SCG. The umpires have a word with the security officials. Mohammed Siraj the player who has had issues.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 301-5. Cameron Green is showing off his skills. Smashes Siraj for two huge sixes back to back. IPL teams watching? He's on 74 now. A century is a possibility? Or will Australia declare before that?
India vs Australia live score, AUS 274-5. FIFTY for Cameron Green with some luck by his side. Pokes at a delivery from Bumrah and edges it just away from gully to reach the milestone. India have taken the second new ball.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 270-5. Siraj and Saini bowling in tandem. Australia going nicely here. Green on the verge of a maiden Test fifty. Paine is enjoying some easy runs too.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 258-5. The partnership between Tim Paine and Cameron Green has crossed 50. The lead is over 350. India waiting for a declaration. How much will Australia set? 400 perhaps?
Bumrah been unlucky the whole series
Feel for Bumrah, bowling his heart out in a day 4 pitch which offering nothing at SCG but fielders dropping some of them easy catches and he never shows any emotions to them. pic.twitter.com/w6UBFlu5OQ

India vs Australia live score, AUS 237-5. CATCH DROPPED. Rohit Sharma drops Tim Paine. Jasprit Bumrah unlucky. He has been very unlucky today. Got the nick, but Rohit puts down a simple chance at slip. And then Paine hits a couple of boundaries to rub it in.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 220-5: Australia lead by 314 now. Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne believe it's too much for India already. In fact, Ponting says it will be difficult for India to score even 200. Can't disagree with him though.
That's the hawk eye projection
A fantastic innings comes to an end. Smith out lbw on review for 81.

India vs Australia live score, AUS 208-5: WICKET - Steve Smith lbw Ashwin 81. Not given out on field, but Ashwin reviews. And three reds! Superb delivery. Loop, turning in from outside off, hitting Smith in the pad as he tries to defend. But a bit too late for India?
India vs Australia live score, AUS 206-4: One boundary each in the overs bowled by R Ashwin and Siraj. All through the leg side. This is poor batting + great acceleration by Steve Smith. India just waiting for things to happen.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 194-4: Mohammed Siraj to start the second session. Steve Smith with a six and a four, both in the fine leg region. Sign of things to come? Australia going to go aggressive here.
India vs Australia live score, AUS 182-4: So last over before lunch, and Ashwin would like to end with a wicket. A lot of runs have come in this session and two wickets as well. And Australia are 276 runs ahead, going into lunch.
India vs Australia, 3rd Test at Sydney, Day 4 Latest Updates - India 71-1: OUT! Hazlewood breaks the stand and Gill has to depart. The batsman edges one to Paine and is given out, with not even a review enough to save him.
Some fine bowling from the Australian pace bowling trio, poor running between the wickets by the Indian batsmen and the difference in positive intent between the middle-order of the two teams meant that Australia were on top at the end of Day 3 of the decisive third Test at the SCG. In an eventful day, where a lot happened on the field, the home team, at the close of play, were in the driver's seat at 103 for the loss of two wickets with their two best batsmen - Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith at the crease. The day resumed with India at 96 for 2 with Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara trying to get a move on after a very cautious start yesterday. However, after adding 21 in approximately 10 overs, Rahane perished in pursuit of getting some quick runs getting a bottom edge onto the stumps to a Pat Cummins' delivery which was too close to the wickets to play the cut shot.
Hanuma Vihari's agonizing stay at the crease came to an end after he was run-out attempting a risky run to mid-off with Josh Hazlewood hitting the stumps directly. Such was the slow nature of the Pujara-Vihari partnership that they added just 25 runs in close to 13 overs! Rishabh Pant came and accelerated the innings - India were in desperate need of some quick runs. He contributed 36 off 67 deliveries to the 53-run stand before perishing getting caught at first slip with the new ball. Pant had been struck on the elbow by Pat Cummins and did not look comfortable against pace thereafter in his innings. He was taken for scans after his dismissal. Pant's wicket opened the floodgates for India. Pujara followed in the next over - his overly cautious 50 off 176 deliveries (the slowest half-century of his Test career - came off 174 balls) did hold up an end for India but did not help the team's cause. India needed runs on a flat batting track and needed to show some intent in scoring - but Pujara continued to bat in his quintessential defensive manner which was counter-productive to what the team needed at that moment. Not only were the runs not coming, batsmen at the other end and the ones who followed were put under an unfair burden and pressure to score at a brisker pace resulting in their dismissals which included some unwarranted run-outs. India lost their last 6 wickets for 49 runs - the only saving grace was Jadeja's unbeaten 28 off 37 deliveries. There were two more run-outs in the innings with R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah carelessly throwing their wickets away. The visitors were bowled out for 244 in the 101st over - they played 5 overs less than Australia but ended 94 runs short of their first innings' total! India's slow scoring rate and the run-outs was their nemesis in the first innings. Pat Cummins was the standout bowler for Australia. Not only did he take 4 wickets but also conceded just 29 runs off his 21.4 overs! These included 10 maidens.
