Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer fell after Lunch, however Australia couldn't make further advances. Rohit went following a mistake in requiring a moment run with Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli, who looked guaranteed for the 31 balls he confronted, was puzzled without precedent for his Test vocation off Todd Murphy. Shreyas fell attempting to go over midwicket, diminishing India to 88 for 4.
