 India 16-1 (5 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Rohit looking at ease again as he collects another easy run to thirdman off Richardson before Dhawan plays out the rest of the over. He is playing some solid drives but unable to find the gap.

Rohit is unsure whether to leave or play and ends up steering it to thirdman for a streaky single. Dhawan looks to break the shackles as he lofts the next ball unconvincingly over mid-on for a four. Two balls later, he plays a cracking drive through the covers but is unable to beat the fielder at short cover.

Richardson gets the big wicket of Rohit, who gets an edge and is caught behind by wicketkeeper Matthew Wade for six. That's a big blow for India as the in-form batsman walks back in the fifth over of the innings.

Rohit again looked to steer it down to thirdman but ended up getting an edge to be caught behind.

Virat Kohli, who walked out to a huge cheer from the MCG crowd, gets off the mark immediately with a single to square leg.
