 India 111-1 (23 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Marsh bowls a short wide delivery which Kohli hammers through the off-side for a four. A few deliveries later, Dhawan gives Marsh the charge and lofts him over midwicket for another four as India look to target the medium pacer.

Even Boland errs with his length. A short ball outside off is hit through point for two runs by Kohli before the right-hander smashes another long hop with a lot of power through the off-side for a four to take India past the 100-run mark, in the 22nd over.

Kohli taps the fifth delivery on the leg side and sprints back for two runs as the bowler himself goes to retrieve it.

Maxwell comes back as Dhawan gives him the charge but is hit on the pads. However, he punches the next one past the cover fielder for two runs. He slog sweeps the next ball over midwicket for a four to take his score to 48 as India look to change gears.

A single for Kohli helps him race to his half-century from just 51 balls and Dhawan also gets to the landmark from the next ball from 76 balls.

31 runs from the last four overs takes India's score to 111 for one in 23 overs.
