28th over: India 82-4 (Vihari 13, Rahane 21) Rahane calmly pushes through cover for a couple early in Hazlewood’s over, before a head-directed bouncer draws another half appeal from the Aussies that eventually comes to nothing. Rahane then pops one up to the very vacant on-side and gets off strike, leaving Vihari to see out the finish. Hazlewood gives him a beauty and Vihari is stuck on the crease, edging one that arrives to Handscomb at second slip on the bounce. Hazlewood will want to bowl more at Vihari, I’d say.
Some spell from Nathan Lyon. Those two wickets show why he’s so good – one takes the right hander’s outside edge, the other takes the inside edge #AUSvIND
27th over: India 79-4 (Vihari 13, Rahane 18) Lyon bowls an over in about 35 seconds. Both Vihari and Rahane are clearly trying to use their feet, and both manage to pick up a single from doing so. A slight lull in between some huge dismissals earlier, but I’m sure Rahane especially will provide some fireworks soon.
