Man of the Match
The Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah is named man of the match for his eight wickets.
“We were put under pressure in the first innings but I’m really proud of how the team responded,” he said.
“This wicket was a little bit less spicy than the one we played on here (in 2018) but we were really well prepared.
“Jaiswal, out of all his innings, I think (the one in Perth) is his best one because he’s attacking but he was able to reign himself in as well.”

This is Australia’s seventh-biggest home loss.

All out
Rana grabs the last wicket with a clever slower ball that cuts and crashes into Carey’s off stump.
That ends a fine Test for India who can be very proud of an incredible victory.
Concussion delay
Hazlewood has failed to avoid the bouncer and taken one in the helmet.
He got stuck on the crease and is now being assessed.
AUS 9-235 needing 299
Dragging
Carey is doing his best to get some batting practise in after tea.
He is farming the strike and keeping India at bay for now.
It would be nice if he got the half century.
AUS 9-233 needing 301
Bowled!
Lyon survives just one ball and then gets bowled for a duck.
Sundar got the ball to drift in slightly and then straighten.
Far too good for the No.10.

Last session
We are ready to go for what is surely the final session of the match.
Carey resumes on 30, joined by Nathan Lyon.
