The first time a ball has done something for Ashwin outside the off-stump from round the wicket. The next ball spins past the outside edge of the bat as Ashwin gives Marsh something to think about.

Peter Handscomb comes down the track and drives Jadeja through the off-side for a single to long-off followed by two more singles.

Handscomb takes on Ashwin as he chips down the track and lofts him with the spin over midwicket for a four followed by three singles as Australia start to quickly approach India's first inning score.
