Aus 53-0 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jayant again errs with his length as Warner comfortably despatches the short ball through the leg side for his fourth boundary, which takes his score to 24.

He bowls another long hop which Warner looks to cut but is beaten as he misses out on another scoring opportunity.

Ashwin gets a  break after bowling eight overs with a new ball as Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack.

Renshaw turns the first ball on the leg side for a couple and then picks a single. Warner plays the paddle sweep for a single before Renshaw uses his feet and drives it to long-on for a single.

Change of ends from Ashwin, who takes over from Jayant, who bowled a poor first spell of five overs for 24 runs, including getting the wicket of Warner with a no-ball.

Renshaw flicks Ashwin on the leg side for a single to raise the 50-run stand for the opening wicket, in the 19th over.

Ashwin bowls another beauty to Warner, who looks to defend but sees it spin past the outside edge of the bat.

In the next over, Warner gets an inside edge off Jadeja as it goes on the leg side. Just 20 overs into the game and Jadeja already has a few rough patches outside the left-hander's leg stump. He gets one to kick off the rough as Warner is hit high on the hips as it goes over the leg slip for two leg byes.
