Ashwin scalps Marsh, Australia in trouble

March 16, 2017 11:18

Aus 96-3 (26 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith has got off to a start as he drives Ashwin down the ground for two runs to take his score to 21.

In the next over, left-hander Shaun Marsh also gets the edge but it falls short of the fielder at first slip before he takes a single.

Ashwin has a confident shout for catch close in on the leg side by short leg turned down as the Indians immediately take the DRS. The left-hander got an inside edge before it went off his pads as Pujara at short leg took a splendid one-handed catch, diving full length to his left.

Australia in trouble on 89 for three on a wicket which has been good for batting so far.

New batsman Peter Handscomb off the mark in some style as he stylishly drives the first ball he faces, from Ashwin, through the covers for a four followed by three more singles.
