Aus 190-4 (58 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Umesh gets a well deserved break as he makes way for Jadeja to make it spinners from both ends.

Maxwell again gets the inside edge for a single on the leg side and Smith picks one off the fourth ball.

Jadeja drops a touch short as Maxwell rocks back and slaps it through the covers for a single followed by three singles off Ashwin's next over.

Jadeja has a huge appeal for leg before turned down against Maxwell, who played back, but the ball was slipping down the leg side. Smith turns the next ball on the leg side for a couple to keep the runs coming.

The spin twins rushing through their overs as India look to build up some pressure with a few tight overs.

Maxwell survives another close call as he goes for a tight single but manages to beat the direct hit and gets an overthrow in the process.

The last ball is short and wide as Smith despatches Ashwin through the off-side for a four.

Ishant comes back and has a huge shout for LBW against Maxwell turned down as the Indians take the DRS. And it turns out to be a waste of a review as Ishant has overstepped and the umpire doesn't even need to check the replay any further.

Meanwhile, Kohli has his jersey back on which means he should be on the field anytime soon, maybe before the tea interval.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that India won't lose the DRS review since it was a no-ball which was not called by the on-field umpire.

Smith completes the 5000-run mark in Tests, becoming the third fastest Australian and the seventh fastest overall to reach the landmark.
