LUNCH - DAY 1

Aus 109-3 (30 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Umesh bowls a full delivery which swings in sharply and beats Handscomb who is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down with the ball looking to slip down the leg side.

Jadeja comes into the attack as Ashwin gets a break with two right-handers out in the middle. Smith defends the first five balls before taking a single off the last ball to keep strike.

Umesh bowls another quick yorker which comes in sharply as Smith gets an inside edge which goes between his legs for a four. The next ball is again full and swinging as Smith flicks it square for another boundary before he gets a leg bye from the next ball.

In the next over, Smith turns Jadeja fine on the leg side for a couple before he picks one as Australia go into lunch at 109 for three in 30 overs.
