 India 192-3 (50 ovs) vs Aus 517-7d | Scorecard

An over-pitched delivery from Watson and Kohli needs no second invitation to play a splendid drive through the covers for a boundary. Pujara does the same off the last ball but hasn't timed it that well and gets two runs.

Kohli comes forward to defend against Lyon but gets an inside edge which falls short of the fielder at short leg, who may have been a bit deep.

Kohli gets an inside edge as he looks to nudge Watson fine but it falls short of keeper Haddin, who does well to dive to his left and stop it. The last ball is overpitched and on the pads and Kohli helps himself for a boundary through midwicket.

However, disaster strikes in the next over for India. Pujara lunges forward but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball as he gets an inside edges which goes on to his pads and deflects back to the stumps.

Pujara, who was looking good for a big innings, walks back for 73, having hit nine fours in his 135-ball knock, after he added 81 runs for the third wicket with Kohli.

New batsman Ajinkya Rahane attempts a dangerous sweep shot but misses and is lucky the ball was well outside the off-stump.

After 50 overs, India are 192 for three with Kohli on 36.
