March 16, 2017 15:06

Aus 220-4 (69 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The Indian pacers are attacking the stumps, hoping Smith would miss one but so far he has been able to keep everything out while also find ways to score.

Maxwell was shaky at the start but now looks a bit settled as he pushes Jadeja on the off-side for a single and Smith picks another run a few balls later.

Ashwin comes on from the other end, taking over from Ishant. Smith collects another easy single on the off-side before Maxwell turns the last ball on the leg side for one.

In the next over, Maxwell rocks back and cuts a short ball from Jadeja through thirdman for three runs as Umesh does well to keep it inside the ropes using the slide.

Smith takes two runs off Ashwin through the off-side to take his score into the 90s and inch closer to yet another century against India.
