Two balls in Shami has found the inside edge of Marnus Labuschagne, and then the wicket. The last half hour has been full of control for India. My suspicion is, they have seen the ball might be ready for reverse.

We're great friends, we have over a century of standing side by side during peacetime and during conflict, and I look forward to the announcements next week. In addition, in the United States, I will be having bilateral meetings with President Biden and Prime Minister Sunak. We will be hosting the Malabar operations in Australia for the first time later this year and talking about our security in the Indo-Pacific is an important focus of our relationship. Towards the end of this year, I'm looking forward to an upgrade in the economic relationship between Australia and India, and I'll be having discussions with Prime Minister Modi about that today. One of the things that we discussed was the fact that there's a lot of investment ready as well in Australia to build solar panels in Australia. It's a day of three parts as well, a day where we begin by celebrating the cultural links between Australia and India with a visit for the opening of the fourth cricket test, which is celebrating as well 75 years of test cricket between Australia and India, going back to when Donald Bradman was the captain of the first Australian cricket team at that time.

Throughout the middle of my career, I got told I couldn’t play spin and that’s why I never got an opportunity to play in India. “Coaches told me this is going to be the best warm-up of your life. Unable to warm up with a few deliveries, and with barely any time to measure and mark their run-ups, due to the pre-game programme of the prime ministers, the Indian fast bowlers looked a touch out of sorts with the new ball.

I have no superstitions, I stretched a bit in the morning and I was ready to go." The opener will be looking to continue and lead his side's charge and build on his partnership with Green.

Ashwin tosses up his delivery, and Khawaja drives it to long off for a single. Meanwhile, Green is at 61 off 94 deliveries. The opener is at 122 off 305 balls now. India haven't been able to come with up a concrete plan yet for these two batters. Green comes forward to drive it wide of the fielder at mid-off for a brilliant four!

India v Australia: fourth Test, day two – live (The Guardian)

Over-by-over report: Play continues at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Join our team of writers for updates.

100th over: Australia 269-4 (Khawaja 113, Green 54) It’s the 100th over. 92nd over: Australia 260-4 (Khawaja 107, Green 51) Khawaja dabs Patel to point and Cameron Green slams one down the ground. And it’s business as usual as Khawaja glides a single to third man giving 23-year-old allrounder Cameron Green the chance to notch one too and bring up his seventh Test half-century. And the waiting game is over for Cameron Green as Ashwin drifts one fuller and faster outside off and Green leans back and carves off a magnificent square cut to the boundary. After singles from the first two deliveries Khawaja opens his stance a little to the third, leans away to a straighter ball and punches it to the on-side boundary. 108th over: Australia 300-4 (Khawaja 133, Green 65) Can the poetry of Harry Styles and the power of watermelon sugar alchemise for India in the form of a wicket? That’s Khawaja’s first boundary of the day – a testament to the patience of the man. That’s the furrow in captain Rohit Sharma’s brow at the moment as one run comes from the over and Australia start the climb to 400. It skates across the baize to the boundary to take Green to 70. That first ball from Jadeja ripped out of the rough outside Khawaja’s off stump and jagged back to bounce high up on the inside edge and fly over leg stump and past the wicketkeeper for a lucky four! The Cameron Green-Usman Khawaja partnership has blossomed to 177 from 290 balls – the biggest of the series so far – and looks unbreakable. Green takes a single and a breather, content to go to lunch with his highest score banked and a first Test ton in sight.

Usman Khawaja century caps confident performance by Australia (ESPNcricinfo.com)

There have been few instances of visiting batters being comfortable against India in India and this was one of them.

The six false responses in 33 overs in the middle session was the highest control percentage for a visiting side in India in a session of Test cricket in India in the last 10 years. With a 70-over old ball, Shami managed to hold the line to go past Handscomb's edge and send the off stump on a cartwheel. Here, India took the new ball with nine overs to go, and Green took to it. With not much expected from their lower order, Australia had to be watchful in the middle session. Only to lose the gamble with the new ball at the end of the day and hand Australia a slight advantage. Led by Ashwin, India started to turn the screws. This is when India would have been reminded of the A measure of how difficult it was for the bowlers is that India managed to draw only 34 false responses; there were 40 in the first session of the last Test. For long periods, Ashwin managed to keep the batters in check even though he didn't beat the bat. [R Ashwin](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin-26421)and [Ravindra Jadeja](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravindra-jadeja-234675)managed one each, and [Axar Patel](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/axar-patel-554691)provided control in his 12 overs for just 14 runs. Khawaja scored a fine, patient hundred, only the sixth against India in India in the last five years. Khawaja ended unbeaten on 104 having brought up the milestone in the last over of the day, and

Live updates: India vs Australia, fourth Test, day two from Ahmedabad (ABC News)

Cameron Green's maiden Test ton and Usman Khawaja's 180 steer Australia to a strong first-innings total of 480 in the fourth Test against India in Ahmedabad ...

Pretty good total - and a pretty emphatic comeback for the Australian tail, after some pretty naff batting. Rohit is hit on the pad and it was going down leg for me. Is the pitch drying out in this baking Ahmedabad sun? You wouldn't expect him to have too many overs if he's not beating the outside edge to be honest. Gill cuts and will get two runs for that out to cover point. Good move, to be honest. The commentators enjoyed that one on the host broadcaster - arguably a bit too much. Hopefully Shelob isn't at the top, but knowing most cricketer's kit bags at the end of a tour... AND NOW HE'S FALLEN OVER! Meanwhile, the umpires are seeing if there is a ball that suits the one that was lost and appear to have found one. so we need to have a new, 10-over-old ball delivered to the middle. Right over Lyon's head and that's the first six of the match.
