India continues to be the only Test-playing nation that refuses to use the DRS, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India not convinced the system is accurate enough to have its conclusions taken as gospel.

While the Indian players aren’t necessarily of the same view, they are made to deal with the consequences and that is what opener Shikhar Dhawan had to do after he was controversially given out early on Saturday.

Dhawan fended at a short ball from Mitchell Johnson but looked perplexed when umpire Ian Gould raised his finger, and replays showed why.

The ball clearly evaded Dhawan’s bat and gloves, slamming into his shoulder before wicketkeeper Brad Haddin took the catch. But the left-hander could only shake his head as he wandered back to the pavilion.

About an hour later the shoe was on the other foot as Australia was left dismayed by an umpiring decision that it was unable to overturn.

Spinner Nathan Lyon was causing plenty of problems for the Indian batsmen, and Murali Vijay made an error in judgment by padding up to a ball that spun back sharply.

The Aussies went up in unison, convinced they had trapped the Indian opener leg before wicket, but umpire Marais Erasmus shook his head.

Replays from HawkeEye - the technology the BCCI is particularly distrustful of - showed the ball would have crashed into the stumps.
