India 11-0 (7 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Pat Cummins to start off with the ball on Day 2. Murali Vijay gets off the mark straightaway with a single on the off-side off the first ball of the day as Glenn Maxwell misfields. Rahul turns the next ball on the leg side as he also gets off the mark off the very next delivery before Vijay plays out the rest of the over.

Josh Hazlewood from the other end. The first ball is on the stumps as Rahul flicks it through midwicket for three runs as Nathan Lyon did well to stop it inside the ropes. Vijay plays a half-hearted drive off the next ball which nearly carries to David Warner at mid-off as it falls just short. Vijay ends the over in confident fashion as he drives it confidently on the up through the covers for the first boundary of the Indian innings.

Cummins bowls a good probing over to Rahul, who has to be at his watchful best to keep it out. He bowls a couple of good bouncers as Rahul defends the first one before he does well to avoid the next one, swaying out of the way.

Hazlewood bowls an absolute peach, beating Vijay all ends up. The ball initially tailed in before hitting a crack and moving away quite sharply, beating the edge and also the off-stump. Vijay is again beaten off the last ball as Hazlewood gets some movement again to past the edge of the bat.

India's openers have done well in the first half an hour to keep the Australian bowlers at bay. The runs have not come but the main objective of seeing off the new ball has been achieved so far.
