Aussies 200 all out at Lunch. Only another miraculous Adelaide implosion could stop India getting 70 runs.

Says it all that our tail again makes as many runs as our supposedly top order ::).

Green made 45 btw. So may keep his spot.

Ch7 saying Warner's chances of playing in the third test have improved in the last couple of days.

Foxsports reporting that Pucovski is all but cleared to play also.

Pucovski needs to play at least half a dozen games without headbutting a short ball before he's even considered again...  :shh

WP, the BBL umpiring has certainly been laughable. Batsmen given out lbw when they've hit the ball with the middle of their bat :help.

Taufel added that in the Paine dismissal there was no other explanation for the sniko spike as the ball passed the bat. Yesterday, Starc had walked nearly off the ground but because he had hit his shoe it was impossible to know via sniko if he had hit the ball so he was given not out by the 3rd ump and called back to the crease.

You're right though, DRS is grey because it allows for these umpire's calls.

David Warner won’t be fully fit for the third Test but is “very, very, very likely” to return to the top of Australia’s order while doctors have cleared Will Pucovski to play, Justin Langer says.

Aussies 5/249 starting the 2nd session. Smith 74*. Labushange made 91. We were cruising until Wade through his wicket away and that exposed Green (a duck) just before lunch to the second new ball.

Aussies 338 all out.

Some pretty soft dismissals from the middle order after a good start. Smith got his ton (131).

Warner looks like he should retire. Shadow of his former self.

Wade and Green trash.
Paine too.

Smith, captains knock without the hat.

Hon mention to Starc for having a swing.

India 5/280 at Tea.

Thankfully the Aussie bowlers finally got both Pant and Pujara out. Now it all comes down to the last session.
