00:00First runs for Pujara.
00:08Didn't quite get it, did he? He's just sort of a punch through the gap. He'd probably get three.
00:13Pujara boundaries never threatened the boundary rope. They just about kiss them sometimes.
00:16They never threatened the boundary rope.
00:18But he's found his own way. He's off the mark.
00:21It's in his wheelhouse, this, though, isn't it?
00:23Yep.
00:24A little bit short, a little bit wide, and Pujara doesn't miss out.
00:28Doesn't always sit out in the middle of the bat, but gets in the gap.
00:36And runs for Pujara.
00:40A crunching drive in his first run since lunch.
00:44Well, that's a beautiful shot from Pujara. Overpitch from Pat Cummins.
00:49Pujara needed no second invitation. Climbs into the cover drive.
00:53Beautiful contact.
00:56Good hope for India. Seven from it.
01:00Here it is again. Not a lot of footwork, but got the timing perfect.
01:06And it's nicely driven down the ground from Pujara.
01:09A short step into the off drive.
01:11And it makes it play all the way to the rope. A third boundary for Pujara.
01:17He just cruises along in his own time to 37.
01:21Pujara on 40.
01:23Slash time wide.
01:27And the blue members of the crowd erupt.
01:33Well, you just can't give Pujara width.
01:37He's not a down-the-grounder on this sort of pitch, but he'll hurt any width
01:43behind the wicket if you give it to him.
01:45And, unfortunately, Stark has dropped short and wide.
01:48He had no intention of hitting it in front of the wicket.
01:51He was always looking to go back with a point.
01:54He got a good piece. No third man. Take four.
01:5826 in the last four overs.
02:00Almost a West Indian-like shot there from Pujara.
02:03So they've just got the momentum.
02:10Oh, he gets it through the gap.
02:12It was soft hands.
02:18It's a typical Pujara shot.
02:20Just works the ball, doesn't he?
02:21Off his pads and through the offside.
02:23But certainly no less important than Coley
02:26to this Indian batting line-up.
02:28He's been the rock again.
02:29What, 189 balls he's faced?
02:31He's faced about 700 balls in this series already.
02:36To get day two underway.
02:37Cummins to Pujara.
02:44And there it is.
02:45And Pujara gets the bat on it.
02:47And it will run away down to the third man rope
02:49as the 100 partnership comes up between this pair.
02:53That's frustrating.
02:54That was a good delivery.
02:55That was a good delivery.
02:56That was a good delivery.
02:57Pujara.
02:58Played all around it really.
02:59Outside edge.
03:00It was cannon into the stumps.
03:01Very full.
03:02Talking about that Yorker.
03:03Swung late.
03:04Going in right on to middle and off stump.
03:06But he swiped across to Pujara.
03:07Got lucky there.
03:08He almost played for too much swing, really.
03:10He almost played for too much swing, really.
03:15It gets through.
03:17Catch was a call, but it was pretty well controlled from Pujara.
03:24This partnership now really starting to hurt Australia.
03:30Gets this one through.
03:34Nice use of the feet.
03:36Won't go all the way.
03:38It's been a fairly slow outfield.
03:40The first couple of days, and that's 250 up for India.
03:48Which he does.
03:51Gets that one through again.
03:53He's got enough power this time for it to go all the way for four.
03:56It's a good shot.
03:57Timed it sweetly.
03:58Pujara, good batting.
04:00Got to the pitch of the ball as Mike Hussey was talking about,
04:02the two areas to score for him would be through the covers,
04:05and mid-week at this time he's timed it sweetly.
04:08That's a nice shot from Pujara.
04:18That's the gap he's looking for on the leg side.
04:20Gets the timing right.
04:21Should get back for a comfortable three.
04:23Again, using his feet well to Nathan Lyon.
04:27Good footwork, 93, so he's edging towards that 100.
04:31Taking a lot of time, 402 minutes.
04:34Still around the wicket.
04:35Drives down the ground, 100 runs for Jiteshwar Pujara.
04:43Oh, he's just hung in there, hung in there.
04:45Patience is his middle word.
04:47He's a lovely team man, wonderful person.
04:50And India will realise the enormous value he brings to the side.
04:54Gunder, 271 for two, looking good in this game.
04:57It's because Pujara's just scored his second 100 in the series.
05:02And there's the shot that brought up the three figures.
05:04Just a really, really good straight drive down the ground.
05:07Plenty of power.
05:09And a really good celebration.
05:15Oh.
05:16I think that's the first false shot that Pujara's played in all of his innings.
05:22Two for 285.
05:27Oh, ball in, there it is.
05:30Cummins, reward for all the hard work.
05:33It's high fives all around.
05:35Yeah, reward for effort for Pete Cummins.
05:37He's bowled beautifully, hitting the pitch hard, banging it in.
05:40There's been a little bit of uneven bounce from the great southern stand-in.
05:44And Pujara's long vigil comes to an end.
05:46Tremendous innings again from him.
05:48Rick Cummins.
05:49The end of the vigil.
05:51Chittaswa Pujara out for 106.
05:53Warm applause.
05:55Not excited applause, but they know how valuable this has been for India.
06:00As do their supporters.
06:02He's gone.
06:03It's three for 299.
