Smith slams fifty to push India on the backfoot

Aus 102-1 (25 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith continues to flick the spinners through the leg side as he hits Jadeja through square leg for a couple. Jadeja then produces another beauty to beat Smith, who tries to defend before he edges the next ball. The ball rolls along the ground through thirdman where Ashwin half-heartedly gives charge and watches the ball go over the ropes for a four. India have looked completely flat on the middle and missed the energy on the field in the absence of their captain Virat Kohli.

Smith goes after Ashwin as he comes down the track and lofts him back over his head for a six. Two balls later, he cuts a short ball past point for the second four of the over to continue Australia's brisk start.

Jadeja is bowling a good spell. This time he gets Warner to edge one as it flies past the slips for a four as Australia go past the 100-run mark, in the 25th over.
