4th and 5th stump plan to Lokesh and Kohli works a treat - both of them can't help playing loose shots - while Gill continues to throw his wicket away with sloppy batting.
Bowling hasn't been exceptional but it doesn't have to be with this lineup. Only Jaiswal can score big hundreds in this top 6 and he was sawn off first ball.
Let's hope we get bowled out quick enough now so that Bumrah can get the new ball under lights

If anyone's wondering why Lyon is spinning the ball less this days (aside from being 37), left is the 2014 India test at Adelaide, right is Perth two weeks ago:

Rohit to show some intent and lead from the front at the stroke of lunch.

Pant is extremely quick when he wants to be (or used to be pre-injury)

I can see why Rohit's kept himself down at six.

Kohli's average drops back down again to 47.93.
Needs those red ink centuries to prop him up again.

Even I can't deny that's our session. Was quite worrying the way the bowling and fielding instantly went slack after that dropped catch, but some loose stroke play (especially from Kohli) handed the momentum right back. We need to come out with greater intensity after lunch now.

is it an effect of his injury or a gradual change

His hair used to balance out his action.

Yeah, it puts a visible strain on his face to run fast these days, but he was very acrobatic before. I think it has also affected his square drives; seems loath to put too much weight going forward on that right knee. Sadly, these aren't the kind of issues that get better with age.

Yeah I think we do need to bowl a bit fuller and wider to him than we have been. Make him play that shot off the front foot.

I'll have to trawl through more footage. I first noticed in 2020, but I think its got more pronounced since then, especially this season.
Lyon actually started off more chest on, but when he got more side on was when he really hit his stride in tests. He's relied on putting maximum spin on every ball and bowling consistently, pretty much the opposite of Ashwin who's always using subtle variations. I feel that since he doesn't spin it that much now he's going to have to try bowling a little slower.
