January 18, 2019
Bhuvneshwar continues to keep things tight as he starts with two dot balls to Handscomb, who then takes one on the leg side.
Richardson pulls a short ball to midwicket for a single and Handscomb keeps strike with one from the last ball.
Leg-spinner Chahal comes back into the attack. A couple of singles to Handscomb as he brings up his half-century, from 57 balls.
Shami comes back from the other end, as he takes over from Bhuvneshwar. He starts off well with two singles from four balls before Richardson pulls a short ball for a four despite the diving effort from substitute Rayudu. He drives the last ball through the covers for two runs as Australia go past 200, in the 43rd over.
