January 17, 2016  13:41

 Aus 52-1 (8 ovs) vs India 295-6 | Scorecard

Sran comes under attack now. A half-volley on the pads is flicked through midwicket by Marsh for three runs.

The left-armer drops short and offers width as Finch hits it square on the off-side for a four before a wide half-volley is driven through the covers for the same result.

The bowler nearly gets revenge as Finch, on 20, hits it straight to mid-off but debutant Gurkeerat drops the straightforward chance. That could prove to be a costly miss!

Australia going at seven runs per over, as they race to 42 for no loss in seven overs.

It is going all Australia's way as Ishant bowls a short delivery which Marsh confidently through square leg for a four.

Yadav comes back as Sran is taken off after a disappointing first spell of three overs for 25 runs.

He immediately strikes with the first ball of his second spell. Finch, who was dropped on 20, does not profit much as he edges a wide delivery and is caught behind for 21.

Captain Steven Smith gets off the mark with two runs on the leg side to bring up Australia's 50, in the eighth over.

A short delivery which Smith cuts but Jadeja makes a superb stop to save some runs for his team.
