When his wicket fallen then it happened like this (129.6 so he won’t get a double century. This is beautiful bowling from Lyon, threw it up, drew him forward, got it to dip and straighten a hint. Pujara was looking to whip this into the leg side but this one didn’t spin as much and ended up lobbing back to Lyon, who took a good, low catch. SCG stands up to applaud a superb knock. 418/6).
