Smith, Warner hits 50s, Australia in control
March 25, 2017  11:27


Aus 125-1 (29 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

This time Warner targets Ashwin as he comes down the track and lofts him straight down the ground for the first six of the match.

A single to Smith in the next over helps raise the 100-run stand for the second wicket between the two batsmen. Jadeja drops the next ball short which Warner smashes through the covers for a four followed by a single as the left-hander gets into the 40s for the first time in the series.

The Indian bowlers have been pretty disappointing. This time Ashwin errs with his length, bowling it as Warner rocks back and blasts it through the covers for a four. The next ball is even shorter but this time he cuts it to deep extra cover for one.

Debutant Kuldeep Yadav is called into the attack with around nine minutes left for lunch. Warner looks to cut the second ball but gets a thick outside edge which flies past the slip fielder for a four. That boundary helps Warner bring up his fifty for the first time in the series, from 72 balls as Australia take control.
