  India vs Australia LIVE score: STUMPS! Australia 61/1, lead by 62 runs

  What a day of Test cricket we have had, both teams matching each other blow for blow. It looked liked Australia had ran away with it fair and square before Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja first stemmed the flow. Then Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin's 114-run stand that came in just 177 balls closed the gap between the two sides and ensured that Australia had just a one-run lead going into their second innings. The Australians then came out all guns blazing, with Travis Head's promotion to the top of the order ahead of David Warner turning out to be a winning move for now. At the end of it all, Australia have a lead of 62.
