Aus 44-2 (10 ovs) vs India; Target: 188
| Scorecard


Warner has had enough of the defending against Ashwin as he gives the off-spinner the charge and lofts him over mid-on for a six.

This is a statement from the Australian opener, who has been struggling for runs in the series. If Warner can get a quick half-century it would all but end India's hopes of making a match out of this.

Smith continues to shuffle around his crease as he gets a bottom edge which goes on the bounce behind the stumps and Saha does well to stop it. The last ball moves away a bit beating Smith, who is forced to defend.

Ashwin strikes with the key wicket of Warner, who is given out leg before wicket for 16. He has a chat with captain Smith before deciding to go for the DRS.

Warner went for the sweep but missed it completely and was struck right in front of the stumps. The impact is just outside the off-stump but the ball is going on to hit the stumps and it stays with the umpire's decision.

Ashwin claims Warner's wicket for the ninth time in Tests as the left-hander's struggle against spin continues and he also ends up wasting a DRS review for Australia.

India back in the contest as Australia are reduced to 42 for two in the 10th over.
