Live Cricket Score of India vs Australia, 1st Test, Day 5 at Adelaide

Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli steadied India with a very good stand against some probing bowling. Lyon was hitting the rough and asking a lot of questions, Mitch Johnson was ripping in with the bouncers and even hit Vijay once on the arm, Siddle was getting a bit of reverse swing going but the duo remained focused and saw it all through to prop India.

India went into lunch at 105/2. Not a bad session but wickets are at a premium on the last day and India will feel slighted by the wrong decision that got Dhawan. There were 64 overs left in the day with India needing 259 and Australia needing 8 wickets. The match could not be better poised for a tight finish.

David Warner rode on his luck to register his second ton in the same Test match, which he has done so for the second time this year, to power Australia to a position of strength at the end of Day 4 of the opening Test in Adelaide.

The belligerent Australian opener scored 102 to follow his knock of 145 in the first innings and has now scored 11 centuries in 33 Test matches. Warner did not shy away from having a few words with the Indian players during his knock which helped put Australia gain a 363-run lead heading into Saturday's final day.

One of the confrontations was triggered when Warner was bowled by Varun Aaron for 66 in the 34th over, only to be recalled when replays showed Aaron had bowled a no-ball. Aaron had given Warner a triumphant send-off, but the pugnacious opener responded in kind when he was recalled to the crease. Shane Watson, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan all joined in, exchanging sharp words before umpire Ian Gould eventually calmed down the warring parties.

Steve Smith also came good with the bat, scoring an unbeaten half-century while Mitchell Marsh hit a blistering 40 off just 26 balls. Earlier in the day, Nathan Lyon (5/134) claimed his sixth five-wicket haul in Tests to bowl India out for 444 and help Australa gain a handy lead of 73 runs.

Australia declared at their overnight 290 for five to set India 364 runs to win on the final day. No team has scored more than 315 to win a Test match at the Adelaide Oval since Australia overhauled England at the ground in 1902.

Mitchell Johnson delivered the early breakthrough Australia were hoping for, getting rid of Shikhar Dhawan for 9 in the 5th over. It was a brilliant short delivery that the left-handed batsman could not sway away from and was given out caught-behind after Brad Haddin held on to a superb catch. However, Dhawan was unlucky as the ball only clipped his shoulder on the way to the keeper and umpire Ian Gould got it wrong.

Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara steadied the Indian innings with a good partnership. They were watchful to start off with before scoring a few boundaries. Vijay, who managed the first maximum of the innings off Lyon in the 16th over, survived a close leg-before shout in the same over when he decided not to offer any shot. Replays suggested that the ball would have hit the stumps, and Lyon had this to say to the umpire after he ruled in favour of the batsman: "Are you sure? The last time you said that, it was hitting middle."

Pujara fell against the run of play, getting out to Lyon in the 20th over on 21. The batsman played off the back-foot against a delivery which he ideally should have been forward to. He pushed at it without much conviction and ended up getting an edge to the keeper, who held another fine catch. India were 57/2 at this stage. It also exposed Pujara's weakness against off spin in particular. Lyon got him for the 2nd time in this match and it was also the 13th time that Pujara fell to off spin

Murali Vijay impressed yet again when he got to his 8th Test fifty and his second of the match. He has come on leaps and bounds as an opener since the South Africa series and has easily been India's most consistent batsmen in overseas tours over the last year.

Australia suffered a blow when Michael Clarke hobbled off the field after injuring his leg while fielding. It appeared that Clarke twisted his ankle quite badly but might have done something to his problematic hamstring as well.

Clarke was subsequently sent for scans and it was his right hamstring that was the problem again.

Virat Kohli went past fifty for the second time in the match and seemed determined to carry on. He played Johnson and Lyon superbly and was the key in numbing the Australian attack. The Indian captain needed to put in one big effort again if India were to stave off defeat.
