Double bowling change once again as Shami has been replaced by Ishant Sharma, two slips and a leg slip in place
56 overs gone and Umesh Yadav replaces Bumrah in the attack
OVERS 50.5: FOUR! Paine edges a Bumrah delivery to the third man fence for the first boundary of the day
Aaron Finch is padded up
Mohammed Shami bowls the second over of the day
Jasprit Bumrah bowls the first over of Day 4, Tim Paine on strike
Australia have their noses slightly ahead in the game, but it is pretty much delicately poised and can be back to even should India get early wickets. The weather forecast for today says that it should be partly cloudy which will be a relief for the players as there will be pleasant playing conditions. Thus there is a chance that the ball might do things in the air and with it already moving square off the wicket, it won't be easy to bat today.
India will look to restrict Australia's lead to anything under 220-230 as a score in excess will surely be difficult to achieve while batting fourth, especially against a Nathan Lyon who is in red-hot form at the moment. That said, India do have Virat Kohli in their team.
Michael Vaughan with the pitch report points out that the cracks on the wicket have widened even more than yesterday. Also adds that the rough patch outside the right-handed batsmen's off stump has become all the more prominent due to Indian seamers bowling around the wicket to the left-handers of Australia.
