| Scorecard


Umesh Yadav comes into the attack after a fiery first spell from Ishant. He gets Smith to edge one but Kohli is standing too wide at first slip as the ball hits his left hand and goes away for a four. That is an opportunity missed by the Indians and it was the prized scalp of Steve Smith.

In the next over, Shaun Marsh comes down the track and drives Ashwin through the covers for a four as Australia continue bat positively and not let the momentum die down.

Spin from both ends as Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, replacing Umesh, who bowled just one over and nearly claimed the wicket of Smith.

Jadeja makes a tidy start as he sends down a maiden over to Marsh. Ashwin bowls a short ball which Smith crashes through the covers for a four before he picks one from the fifth ball.

Umesh, who bowled just one over in first spell, comes back as Jadeja is taken off after bowling an over himself.

He strikes with the wicket of Marsh, who offer no stroke, but the ball comes in and hits him on the pads. The umpire rules him out LBW and Marsh walks off after a chat with his captain Smith, who is not in favour of reviewing that one.

That was a bad call by Australia not to take the DRS as the ball was missing the stumps by a long way. Wonder how Marsh will react in the dressing room when he sees the replay himself?
