Rahane, Pujara hit half-centuries to lift India on Day 4

March 07, 2017 10:01

India 232-4 (81 ovs) & 189 vs Aus 276 | Scorecard

The two spinners quickly rush through their overs, conceding just 11 runs from eight overs as Australia decide to immediately take the second new ball after 80 overs.

Rahane and Pujara will need to be careful against the second new ball as Starc and Hazlewood will definitely pose a threat.

Starc comes in straightaway with the second new ball. Rahane smashes the second ball through the covers for a four to bring up his half-century, from 128 balls, in some style.

The next ball is short as Rahane cuts it to the fielder at thirdman for one. Starc tries a yorker but Pujara is able to clip the full delivery square on the leg side for three runs.

Rahane goes for another ambitious drive through the off-side but is beaten by the incoming delivery.
