India 52-1 (21 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Another couple of overs for Cummins before he makes way for Lyon, who bowled just two overs in his first spell. Rahul and Pujara take a single each from the 16th over.

Change of ends for Cummins as he takes over from Hazlewood, who bowled a superb first spell of eight overs for 16 runs.

Pujara takes a single from the second ball on the off-side before Rahul does well to defend the remaining four deliveries.

Pujara drives Lyon to long-on before Rahul sweeps the off-spinner uppishly over square leg for a four. Two balls later he goes right back and cuts a short ball past the slip fielder for a couple.

Pujara again picks a single as he turns Cummins to fine leg. There are a couple of fielders close in on the leg side for Rahul -- at leg slip and short leg -- with Cummins looking to test him with short balls. Rahul shuffles across before he guides a short ball past the leg slip fielder for a four to take his score to 25 as he yet again gets off to a start.

In the pacer's next over, Rahul plays a cracking straight drive for a four to take India past the 50-run mark, in the 21st over.
