India 10-1 (5 ovs) vs Aus; Target: 441 | Scorecard


Starc bowls another quiet over to Vijay, who is happy to see if off cautiously as the pacer registers his second maiden over on the trot.

Meanwhile, Vijay is having a few issues against Lyon and he yet again resorts to the sweep to get away from the strike.

Rahul gets a nasty delivery which kicks off from the rough as he goes back to defend, it takes the glove and falls on the pitch as Handscomb makes a diving effort but is unable to hold on.

And not surprising, Australia bring spin from the other end as Steve O'Keefe, who claimed six wickets in the first innings, comes into the attack.

He immediately creates a half chance as Vijay pokes his bat at a wide one getting a thick edge but it falls safely on the off-side.

O'Keefe gets Vijay leg before wicket with one that goes straight on as the right-hander takes the DRS but the decision stays with the ball hitting the leg stump.

Vijay never looked comfortable against the spinners and this time he played down the wrong line and was struck right in front of the stumps. And to add to India's woes, he wastes one DRS review which could prove crucial on this wicket.
