@plalor Smith didn't even have time to warn him that he will bring a tough Queenslander in as Border did to Jones in the tied test!

Dean Jones infamously took to relieving himself in his pants during his double century at Chennai 1986. Those were the days ...

It appears Renshaw has retired ill. Bloody millennial! 1-82

Shaun Marsh has replaced Matt Renshaw (36no) after Warner's wicket. He must be sick. 1-82

Umpire intervenes and he has run off. Please, don't make any predictable puns ...

This is interesting. Renshaw tries to leave the field, called back from boundary rope. In conversation with Smith.

Warner survives a test of spin but falls to Umesh Yadav. An inside edge onto the stumps. 38 from 77 balls. 1-82

Ashwin bowling on crazy pavement. It might be difficult to make 50 in the last innings here

Carry on. Australia 0-27 in the 10th

I may have to withdraw that observation. Appeared to deviate but there is no sound on snick

Going to the DRS here, Ashwin thinks Renshaw has nicked it, Renshaw called for a drink indicating he might have missed

My (local) informants from the toss tell me the pitch has been "over cooked" confirming assessment coming from the Australians in lead up.

@plalor In #INDvENG , England won 3 tosses ,made 400+ twice in first innings and then still lost 4-0

Great news for Australians. Steve Smith has won the toss and opted to bat. Kohli said he would have done same.

UNOFFICIAL!! AUSTRALIA: D Warner, M Renshaw, S Smith, S Marsh, P Handscomb, M Marsh, M Wade, M Starc, S O'Keefe, J Hazlewood, N Lyon

Judging by the warm up the Australian team is as expected. Mitch Marsh is playing.

If only there was some reason why the Fair Work Commission is handing down its announcement on weekend penalty rates today & not Sunday...
