Stumps: Australia trail by 94 runs

33rd over: Australia 86-1 (McSweeney 38, Labuschagne 20) Labuschagne takes a single off the penultimate ball to give McSweeney one last audience with Bumrah for the day. He keeps it out to complete a superb day both for Australia. They rolled India for 180, with Mitchell Starc taking career-best figures of 6 for 48, then scrapped their way to 86 for 1 in what had the potential to be a horrible evening session.

India weren’t at their best with the ball, but Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne, who had such a torrid time in Perth, still had to bat extremely well to see it through to the close. McSweeney is 38 not out from 97 balls, Labuschagne 20 from 67.

If Australia get past the first half hour tomorrow, they’ll have a great chance to take a decisive grip on this game.
