Aus 98-2 (20 ovs) vs India 408 | Scorecard

Aaron comes back, replacing Umesh after a good first spell of one for 29 in five overs.

Rogers drills an overpitched delivery down the ground past mid-off for a four and then takes two runs on the leg side. The last ball is again driven down the ground which beats Kohli at mid-off despite his desperate drive.

India introduce spin in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin, who comes in to replace Ishant for the 18th over.

Watson gets a single from the first ball before Rogers plays out the rest of the over with Ashwin giving some generous flight.

India need to get a grip on the run rate and pull back Australia by building pressure with some tight overs.

Aaron oversteps and also bowls a short wide ball which Aaron cuts over the gully region for a four as the runs continue to flow.

The next ball is perfect, pitching on and around the off-stump, and moving enough to beat Rogers's tentative push.

Watson decides to attack Ashwin but mistimes his shot as Dhawan pulls off a stunning low catch at mid-on.

Watson made 25 from 29 balls and stepped out to the off-spinner looking to hit over the top but failed and threw away another good start.

Australia are 98 for two in 20 overs with Rogers on 39.
