India will have to bat last on this track. Anything even close to a 100 target in 4th innings will be very difficult.

Very true, Rahane is still there and 82 in front already. Key morning session-aren't they always?  :)

India could really do with getting close to 400 and possibly not requiring to bat again. Aussie batting line up up is quite fragile but history over the last few years shows that Smith doesn’t miss out for 4 innings very often and Marnus is fairly consistent as well.

India have done very well given the last match and also missing arguably the worlds best player so a real chance for them to get back into the series with a lot of time left in this match.

Seems like a series of drop catches. Aussies dropped 5 so far, india did the same in the first test.

Slightly disappointing from Lyon given the turn that was on offer

Definate turn today from highlights I just saw, excellent batting allround from Rahane.

India have Ashwin and Jadeja they will have a good lead to get men around the bat.

Indian selectors seem to have an odd relationship with Jadeja, I don't buy the bits and pieces description, brilliant fielder, spin away from the right hander and a more than useful bat. Add it all up and he's in my team every game.

Looks like india are on course to win this, with another failure from smith.

Don’t think anyone would’ve given india a chance after the first match and kohli flying home

People wrote India off to a 4-0 series loss far too soon. This is a fantastic group of players who dont lose many. The 36 AO was a freak spell of cricket with a pink ball in a day night test match. They were the better side for a large proportion of that game.

Expect a strong performance at SCG next week aswell. Australia to win at the gabba.

Always a close call between Jadeja and Ashwin on pitches not favourable to spin. Ashwin has provided better control on non turning pitches in the past. I would expect both to play in Sydney, only one in Brisbane

I thought India would get rolled again, they don't travel that well in recent years. They have been excellent in this game on a lively track unfamiliar to their batters, got to give them massive credit after the 36 ao.

It spins at Sydney normally Ashwin and Jadeja should do well..I'm not sure of a 2nd Aussie spinner after Lyon who is good enough that I've seen.

Ashwin is going to cause us a whole load of problems next summer, he is quality.

The Aussies may be cursing their groundsman, but another 400 plays 500 at the MCG is boring cricket.
Much rather see ball have the edge over bat for entertainment and skill level.

Probably India’s greatest win away from home that after 36 all out.

Pressure on the Aussies after losing to a side without Kohli. Burns is a walking wicket and Warner still not fit.

Yes could be, you wonder how long Smith will go without making a contribution but the SCG is renowned for spin and momentum with India.
Really a superb performance from the away team. Aussie press used to, not sure if they still do, pile in and don't hold back....adding to the pressure on the players.
This series just got very interesting

Competitive Test cricket is great to watch. All square going into the 3rd, which may or may not be in Sydney. If covid situation doesnt allow there is talk of the game being moved to Canberra.

Aus look to have big batting problems, they've been carried for a long time by Smith and then Labushagne. Now they aren't firing they are in trouble. The drop off in quality to the rest of the line up is marked

Fantastic debut by Siraj!

One positive for Aus, Green looked very solid for them. In opening up, his first shot was taken by a fine catch.

Haddin and Mark Waugh were saying that the Indian team will not be able to recover from the 36 all out incident rest of the series. So much for the experts!
