February 25, 2017 13:08

India 31-2 (12 ovs) vs Aus; Target: 441 | Scorecard

O'Keefe beats Kohli with one that spins away sharply as Australia appeal without much conviction for a caught at first slip but they don't take the DRS. He then takes a single to fine leg before Pujara plays out the over.

In Lyon's next over, Kohli gets an inside edge off his pads which falls safely on the leg side out of the reach of the fielder at short leg.

Kohli taking a cue from Smith, looking to rotate the strike and adopt a positive approach. He clips O'Keefe square on the leg side for a couple of runs.

Pujara is beaten all ends up by Lyon as he gets one to spin in sharply and goes through his defences for four byes as wicketkeeper Wade fails to collect it.

O'Keefe trying a bit too much as he bowls it down the leg side and Kohli flicks it fine for a couple and then defends the rest of the over confidently.
