February 24, 2017  14:45


Aus 61-3 (21 ovs) & 260 vs India 105 | Scorecard

Ashwin starts off after the tea break as Smith drives the first ball down to long-on for one. A few deliveries later, Handscomb comes down the track and lofts Ashwin with the spin over midwicket for a four.

Jadeja continues to beat the bat, going past the edge more times than not. Another quick over sent down by the left-arm spinner as India's over rate continues to hover over 21.

Handscomb is playing some superb shot as he comes down the track and drives Ashwin through the covers for a four.

In the next over, Smith, on 29, gets another lifeline as substitute Abhinav Mukund at mid-on puts down a tough chance despite a valiant full length dive to his right.

And this time Kohli applauds the fielder for his effort unlike on the previous occasion when he seemed visibly angry on Vijay.

Smith and Handscomb looking to score at every opportunity possible. When they are not getting the boundaries, they have kept the runs coming through singles.

Ashwin strikes again, his third wicket of the innings, as Handscomb (19) looks to flick but gets an inside edge and is caught at leg slip off his pads.
