Aus 145-2 (35 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Umesh starts off proceedings after the lunch interval. Australia take no time to getting going as they pick four singles from the first over of the second session.

The two Yadavs bowling in tandem as left-arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep continues from the other end.

Smith takes a single from the second ball before Warner plays out the rest of the over.

Umesh bowls a superb delivery to beat Smith as the ball goes straight on, past the edge of the bat. Smith then shuffles across before he flicks Umesh through midwicket for a four. He goes after a wide delivery as he gets a thick edge which falls short of captain Rahane at gully. The last ball is short and Smith has no problems pulling it through the leg side for the second four of the over as he races into the 80s, and in sight of yet another century against the Indians.

Meanwhile, Kuldeep strikes against the run of play with the wicket of Warner. He gets one to bounce extra as Warner goes for the cut but gets an edge which is well held by Rahane at slip.

Warner walks back after a good knock of 56, adding 134 runs for the second wicket with Smith, as he becomes the first Test victim of the young Kuldeep Yadav.

Kuldeep nearly foxes new batsman Shaun Marsh who plays back to the full delivery but manages to get his bat down in time to the wrong one.

Marsh turns the next ball on the leg side for one before Smith picks a couple of leg byes off the last ball.
