Jaiswal is out. The end of India’s hopes?

Surely that’s it for India’s chances? There are Washington Sundar and a bunch of tailenders left. They’ve got more than 21 overs to survive, and the second New Ball is only eight overs away. Too much for these last four batters to do, surely.

The wicket of Jaiswal, though, is a little controversial. He loses patience and tries to hook a bouncer from Cummins. He only manages to get the edge of the shoulder of his bat to the Ball though, and it floats through to Alex Carey.

But’s he’s given not out on the field initially.

Australia are certain he’s hit that, and review the decision. Here’s where the strange bit is – although regular replays show a clear deflection, and perhaps contact with bat AND glove, Real-Time Snicko shows a flat line as Ball passes bat. Third Umpire Sharfuuddoula has enough evidence to overturn this though.

Jaiswal is not happy, however, having seen the flat RTS line on the screen. Nor are the India fans there, Alagappan Muthu – one of our reporters at the ground – tells me.

That wicket’s split the crowd right down the middle. The Australia fans were waving buh-bye to Jaiswal even as he seemed deeply disinterested in leaving. The India fans were all waving thumbs down signs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant had put on 88 runs for the fourth wicket, and got India through a wicketless middle session. Then Australia brought on Travis Head after Tea, and had Pant holing out to wide long on, where Mitchell Starc took an excellent tumbling catch.

Three overs later Scott Boland got one to rear up at Ravindra Jadeja, and drew his edge.
