India 151-1 (60 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard


Pujara comes down the track to Lyon as he flicks it on the leg side but Maxwell makes a good diving stop at midwicket to keep it down to one. Vijay sweeps the next ball for another single on the leg side before his partner defends the rest of the over.

Pujara and Vijay looking to increase the frequency of singles with the boundaries having dried up. They pick up a single each off O'Keefe before the Australians ask for the DRS against Pujara, but there is a clear inside edge as Australia lose their second review.

In the next over, Vijay defends against Lyon as the ball goes off the pads to short leg and the Australians appeal for catch off an inside edge but the umpire is not interested.

Interestingly, Vijay was lucky to get away with that. The Ultra Edge shows he had got a slight inside edge before the ball went off the pads and India benefit from Australia having no reviews left.

Pujara rocks back and slaps a short ball from O'Keefe to deep point for a single to raise the 150-run stand before Vijauy also takes a single.

India have reached 151 for one in 16 overs with the follow on just 100 runs away now.

Vijay has battled hard for 59, while Pujara has showed lot of patience during his innings of 23.
