Usman Khawaja rocking up to the BGT presentation in crocs and socks is a vibe I can get behind.

India totally bossing this game now - having bowled Australia out for 104 to take a first innings lead of 46 they have started their own second innings with a century opening stand, and are already in the position of knowing that Australia will have to make the biggest score of the match in the fourth innings to win it.

The six days lost earlier in the series should be added onto the end of this Test. It'd still be a draw, of course, but at least we'd get to see, I dunno, Mitchell Starc and Todd Murphy put on 200 together. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Australia effectively 2 for Kuhnemann. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Can a man carry his bat? Kuhnemann can. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

At this rate of scoring Australia will be only 40 runs behind when stumps are called tomorrow evening. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Nightwatchkuhnemann! #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

One of the great things about Test cricket is the infinite possibilities built into its structure - how it can vary from Kohli and Axar putting on a century partnership all the way to Kohli and Ashwin putting on a century partnership. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

I don’t want to get carried away, but I think Virat Kohli’s centuries make his fans almost as happy as Glenn Maxwell’s centuries make his. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

I can’t even keep track of what’s real and what’s replay at the moment. Sirens. Sixes. Sad Cameron Green. It’s all a blur. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

At this rate, Australia should bowl India out early on day six. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

The advantage of the earlier pitches in this series is that we only ever had to listen to Hayden for three days. Something we may not have appreciated at the time. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Ruthless play from Australia to let their opponents bat so long they get cramp. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

I don’t understand. Why is Pujara going off? Is it tea already? Why isn’t everybody else leaving? Why are the Australians so excited? Makes no sense. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

(Batter hits a boundary)

Indian commentator: This sublime genius, his unparalleled skill giving us a glimpse into the heavenly realms, the crack of the bat a transcendent song welcoming us into a higher state of bliss

Australian commentator: Yes, but also shit bowling. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

India have avoided the follow-on. (I mean, not technically, but it’s only a matter of time.) #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

If a batter hits a six that delays the game they should be eligible to be timed out. Keep a cumulative tally and once they pass the permitted time, get rid of them. Good riddance to six-hitting rubbish. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Silly old England would have made this many runs on day one, leaving India barely exhausted. A tactically deficient team, but trying their best. That’s all we can ask of them. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Bad decision from Khawaja to not keep hitting the ball, in my opinion. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Puppy needs a rest now. Big day for a giant all-rounder. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

He’s been a good boy. He deserves it. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

GIVE THE GIANT PUPPY A TON! #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Should Usman Khawaja be permitted to hover above the pitch, sneering down at the bowlers? No. The ICC must stamp out Khawaja’s refusal to abide by gravity. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

I wholeheartedly disapprove of the Australian cricket team playing competently in India. It is against the natural order of things and a stain on the game. Would another year’s suspension sort it out? It can’t hurt. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

I’m quite certain Matthew Hayden knows infinitely more than I do about batting in a Test match and yet every word he utters somehow makes me doubt that self-evident truth. A gift. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

Not paying full attention but did somebody just pull an “I haven’t seen much of him” on Steve Smith?! Wonderful. #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket

If I were a fielder and ‘dropped’ a bump ball catch, I’m not sure I’d be able to resist stopping the match and explaining to the groaning members of the crowd what had actually happened. (Yes, I know I should just ignore their erroneous disapproval, but it’s hard, man.) #INDvAUS #BorderGavaskarTrophy #Cricket
