Hazlewood to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Philippe!! Another Indian batter strangled down the leg-side? The Aussies are confident, up goes the dreaded finger. Shreyas Iyer has a word with Axar and decides to walk off. After conceding a boundary off the last ball of his previous over, Hazlewood decides not to give Shreyas any width. Hits the deck hard and gets it to slant in from a back of a length. Iyer gets into a bit of a tangle as he tries to glance it fine due to the extra bounce. It's around the ribs and he only manages to get a glove on it. Philippe leaps to his left to gather it with both hands. Spike on UltraEdge when the ball is close to the glove. India have lost their top four with just 45 runs on the board. Shreyas Iyer c Philippe b Hazlewood 11(24) [4s-1]

Hazlewood to Rohit, out Caught by Renshaw!! Edge and taken! Hazlewood draws first blood. Typical Hazlewood hard length. 137.6kph, extra bounce from a short of a good length, nibbles away a bit as well.
