Aus 133-4 (60 ovs) & 451 vs India 603-9d | Scorecard

Marsh and Handscomb have done well to keep the Indians at bay as they bring up their 50-run stand for the fifth wicket.

Marsh continues to look for runs as he cuts a short ball from Jadeja behind point for a four.

After a slow start, Handscomb cuts loose as he hits Ashwin for three fours in the 57th over. He chips down the track and hits a full toss through midwicket for a four before he cuts a short ball past point and then again gives the charge and hits a full delivery through midwicket to make it three fours in the over.

Ashwin is taken off after that disappointing over as Jadeja continues to work hard from the other end.

Ishant comes back from the other end. Handscomb runs the first ball down to thirdman for a single before Marsh blocks the rest of the over.

Australia have done well after the lunch interval to take the score to 133 for four in 60 overs, and now trail India by 19 runs. Importantly, for Australia there are only a minimum of 38 overs remaining, but India will surely look to bowl a lot more.
