The dismissal did not hamper India's flow of runs as Gill motored along in the company of Cheteshwar Pujara. There was no shortage of confusion early on Day 2 of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad after spinner Nathan Lyon and stand-in captain Steve Smith were left puzzled over a DRS call that did not go Australia's way. The ball stopped a bit on Rohit and the India captain was gutted to have thrown his wicket away on a pitch that still looks gorgeous to bat on. Kettleborough kept saying 'Going down' indicating that his first impression was that of the ball missing the leg stump altogether. Despite clear evidence in favour of Shubman Gill that declared him not out, Smith and Lyon had a long discussion with the on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough, asking for an explanation. However, what caused the confusion was the fact that despite the impact being 'three metres' off target, the TV umpire opted to go for the ball tracker, which showed that it would have gone on to hit the leg-stump.

India is slowly chipping away Australia's mammoth first-innings total on day three of the Ahmedabad Test, with young opener Shubman Gill leading the charge.

Clearly from what he saw in Australia – I played a practice game against him at Drummoyne Oval in Sydney,” Ashwin added. Cheteshwar Pujara used his feet against the spinners, skipping down the pitch and expertly flicking Australia’s tweakers through mid wicket. We come from different countries – India is very different, we can’t protect such players for a long period of time.

I expect Cameron Green to be a wonderful cricketer down the line.” “I think he’s a fantastic player. Gill and Sharma brought up their 50-run partnership later that over. But in countries like Australia and England, they’re doing pretty well at that. The hosts are currently 1-152 with Cheteshwar Pujara (34 not out) and Shubman Gill (76 not out) at the crease.

After three matches played at breakneck pace on crumbling pitches, the final instalment has followed a more glacial tempo.

Kohli survived a couple of nervous minutes up to the break. And day three of a Test is still a very good one on which to bat, rather than the point at which the game is reaching its hurried conclusion. Murphy, not called upon until the final half an hour of the morning, created problems for both edges. [Ravichandran Ashwin](/link/follow-20170101-p5cr5r) spoke of India’s cricket culture as “perform or perish”, forestalling the careful nurturing of a young all-rounder like Green. But without any breakthroughs for Mitchell Starc (0-74) or Cameron Green (0-45), they were unable to manufacture the sort of collapse that might have endangered the home side’s position.

I can understand not taking the new ball and accelerating this sedate run scoring pace - Australia can't afford to let India get a run on. There was a flick onto the pad, that's why - it could have popped up. By Simon Smale
