Kohli hits half-century to push India past 300

December 11, 2014 11:42

India 300-4 (79 ovs) vs Aus 517-7d | Scorecard

India would be disappointed that three of their four batsmen got to half-centuries but were unable to carry on. Kohli, who is batting on 74, would be hoping to push on and carry India forward.

With Rohit Sharma out in the middle, Australia take off Smith and bring back medium pacer Watson.

Rohit plays a shot you usually see in ODIs, trying to steer it to thirdman with an open face, but gets an edge which goes on the bounce to first slip.

He taps a full toss from Lyon through the covers for three runs before Kohli again finds the gap for one. Rohit comes down the track to Lyon and defends solidly and blocks out the last two deliveries to end the over.

Kohli plays a lovely straight drive which beats Watson on his follow through but it strikes the stumps at the other end to save some runs for Australia. He flicks the fifth ball to deep square leg to bring up India's 300, in the 79th over.
