March 16, 2017  12:27


Aus 116-3 (34 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Ishant, who bowled just three overs in the morning session, will resume proceedings after the lunch break.

Captain Smith takes his time to get his eye in as he plays out a maiden over from the tall pace bowler.

Jadeja from the other end as Handscomb turns the second ball on the leg side for a single. Smith steals a quick single to mid-on off the last ball and captain Kohli is not impressed with Murali Vijay's slugglish effort which enabled the batsmen to take the run.

Ishant bowls it down the leg side as Handscomb misses the flick but the ball strikes the pads and goes fine for a couple of leg byes. The right-hander is beaten off the fifth ball as Ishant gets one to move away slightly with the batsman playing from his crease.

Smith flicks Jadeja uppishly on the leg side for a single to fine leg and Handscomb comes down and whips it to the same region for another run.
