LUNCH - DAY 1

Aus 131-1 (31 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

It has been a superb session for Australia as they recovered quite well after an early wicket to score 131 for one in 31 overs in the morning session after they had elected to bat.

Smith dominated right from the start as he smashed his way 72 not out from 101 balls, hitting 10 fours, to continue his magical run against the Indians.

He put on an unbroken stand of 121 runs with Warner, who finally got back to form, with an unbeaten 54. He was dropped off the very first ball of the match by Karun Nair in the slips off Bhuvneshwar and he made the Indians pay for that lapse.

Umesh was the only wicket taker for India as he took one for 29 in five overs, while Jadeja did create a few problems for Smith but the rest of the bowlers struggled to make an impression in the morning session.

If India don't pick a few wickets after the lunch break, they would be doing a lot of chasing and staring at a huge Australian score.
