India 226-3 (81 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard


Australia take the second new ball immediately as Pat Cummins is called back into the attack.

And the bowling change works for Australia as Cummins strike with the big wicket of Kohli, who is caught in the slips for six as he suffers another batting failure in the series.

Pujara flicked the second ball through midwicket for a four as Cummins overpitched. He repeated the shot again as Glenn Maxwell dived in at the boundary to save the boundary and keep it down to three.

The Maxwell effort proves crucial as it brings Kohli on strike, who is dismissed off the very next ball. Kohli throws his bat at a wide outgoing delivery without any footwork but gets an edge and is caught by opposite number Smith at second slip.

Kohli suffers another batting failure in the series, his fifth in a row, with his scores in the series reading -- 0, 13, 12, 15 and 6.

India need Rahane and Pujara to stitch another big partnership like they did in the previous game to rescue them from this stage.
