Aus 58-1 (26 ovs) vs India 189 | Scorecard


Ishant keeping it wide outside the off-stump to Steve Smith, who leaves it alone in an exaggerated fashion that reminds commentator Sanjay Manjrekar of former West Indies great Courtney Walsh.

The fifth ball comes in sharply, striking Smith on the pads as the umpire turns down the LBW appeal. The Indians think about the DRS but captain Kohli rightly tells his bowler that the impact was high on the pads and they decide against it.

Ashwin switches to round the wicket as Renshaw watchfully defends another good over from the India off-spinner.

India have managed to dry up the runs and build some pressure. It remains to be seen if Smith is content to play with caution or take a few risks and release the pressure.

Smith shuffling across a long way to Ishant, who has come a bit closer to the stumps. The Australia captain taps one on the off-side and takes a quick single as Mukund at point is slow to get to the ball.

Renshaw is lucky as he offers no shot but unlike Warner the big turning delivery from Ashwin just go over his stumps. That was as lucky as it gets.

Renshaw and Smith then pick three singles off the last three deliveries off Ashwin as Australia reach 58 for one in 26 overs.
