Marsh, Handscomb frustrate India
March 20, 2017  13:04


Aus 108-4 (50 ovs) & 451 vs India 603-9d | Scorecard

Marsh and Handscomb are looking quite settled and they would be happy to see India's best bowler Jadeja taking a break, who has made most of the rough outside the left-hander's off-stump.

Umesh has a LBW appeal turned as Marsh offered no stroke and was struck on the pads before Kohli decides to take the DRS.

The ball had pitched well outside the leg stump and the review was turned down instantly. Kohli is embarrassed as he watches the replay on the giant screen and he can't help smiling wondering how he went for the review in the first place.

And not surprising, Ashwin, who bowled nine overs after the lunch interval and didn't make much of an impression is taken off as he makes way for Jadeja.

He immediately has a huge appeal for LBW against Handscomb, who looks to pad one but that has pitched out leg stump and the appeal is turned down.

Change of ends for Ashwin, who comes on from the other end. Marsh takes a single on the leg side off the second ball before Handscomb chips down the track and takes one to deep midwicket.

Jadeja switches to round the wicket to right-hander Handscomb, hoping to bowl a delivery like he did to dismiss Lyon on Day 4. A couple of deliveries before he switches to his preferred over the wicket as Handscomb manages to defend the over.

Australia are 108 for four in 50 overs, still trailing by 44 runs with a minimum of 48 overs left in the day.
