9th over: India 26-0 (Vihari 1, Agarwal 21) Hazlewood has swung around to the Members End after starting with the Great Southern Stand at his back. That may be why Lyon was introduced… but the off-spinner is going to continue after Hazlewood’s maiden to Vihari.
8th over: India 26-0 (Vihari 1, Agarwal 21) Hear that roar of the crowd? Hear that deep bass boom of a mass of humanity? They’re cheering for Nathan Lyon. The New South Welshman who moved to Canberra and then played for South Australia is well loved in Victoria. The MCG was where the whole crowd was supposed to shout a tribute to him a couple of years ago, only for him to ruin it by taking a wicket on the designated delivery. See the video below.
Vihari finally gets off the mark with a dashed single to mid-on, then Agarwal drives the last ball through cover for four. Very positive.
