***Official*** Australia in India 2017

14/2 since Pujara's wicket. 2 wickets needed in 14 runs. The chase is well on for intent based cricket.

Meh. Not a huge deal if Australia bat for a few overs tonight - might actually work in Indias favor.
Well India are well ahead so anything could work out. Nevertheless I think getting a big lead and aiming to win by an innings was more likely to result in a win. If/when the set batsmen got out you could still have the tail try and slog a few.

Australia were definitely gonna be asked to bat regardless, just that with these wickets it might be sooner than intended. Should play out another 10 overs for as many runs and then have a go at the tired openers.

Well more runs are always better but I think having the Aussies bat tonight may in the end result in more wickets and they'd get out sooner than if they started batting tomorrow sometime mid morning or whatever.

The fact that there's likely to be a bit of swing with the new ball will help India a lot. Chance of an early breakthrough before the spinners take over.
