India 93-1 (32 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard


Hazlewood gets a break as O'Keefe comes back into the attack. Vijay continues to rotate the strike with a single to long-off and Rahul picks a single to the covers off the last ball.

Cummins tries the slower ball which kicks up slightly as Vijay is hit on the gloves as he looks to defend.

Rahul is reading O'Keefe quite well as he flicks a full delivery from the spinner through midwicket for a couple and then repeats the shot two balls later for the same result before he takes a single.

Cummins makes the first breakthrough with a cracking delivery to get the big wicket of the in-form Rahul. He bowls a well directed short ball aimed at the opener's body, who tries to sway out of the way but gets a glove and is caught behind. He had infact taken off the right hand off the bat but the ball bounced more than he expected as it kisses the left glove.

Once again Rahul is unable to carry on to play a big innings as he falls for 67 after putting on 91 runs for the opening wicket with Vijay.

New batsman Cheteshwar Pujara steers a wide delivery past the slips for a couple to the thirdman region.
