January 29, 2016  16:38

 Aus 78-0 (8 ovs) vs India 184-3 | SCORECARD

Dhoni introduces spin as left-armer Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack. Finch cuts the second ball past point for two runs and gets a single from the next.

Dhoni misses a stumping off Marsh as the left-hander went for a big through midwicket but was beaten. Two singles from the last two balls make it five runs from Jadeja's first over.

Spin from both ends as Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack. Finch targets him straightaway as he heaves the first ball over midwicket for a six.

That brings up Finch's half-century from just 27 balls, having hit eight fours and a six.

Ashwin bowls a leg side wide which Dhoni fails to collect to concede another extra run. Three more singles make it 11 runs from Ashwin's first over with Australia racing to 78 for no loss in eight overs.
