India 25-1 (11 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard

Australia introduce spin as Nathan Lyon comes into the attack in place of Cummins, who bowled a brief first spell of three overs.

The first ball is full and wide as Rahul welcomes Lyon with a sweetly timed boundary through the covers. The next ball is immediately a bit short and Rahul goes back and turns it on the leg side for a single and Vijay takes a single from the last ball to keep strike.

The good feature of Vijay's batting so far has been the numbers of balls he has left outside the off-stump from the pacers. However, he takes full toll off a wide half volley from Hazlewood as he plays away from his body, hitting it square on the off-side for a four. The pacer then gets Vijay to edge one but the ball falls well short of a diving Wade to his right.

Meanwhile, Lyon gets Rahul to inside edge but it hits the pads and goes away from the stumps before the right-hander sees off the over.

Hazlewood's persistence is finally rewarded. Vijay again gets the edge and this time it carries at a good height to wicketkeeper Wade, who pouches it easily to give Australia the first breakthrough. Infact, Vijay was guilty of poking at one outside the off-stump when he could have well left it alone as he had been till this point.

Cheteshwar Pujara off the mark in confident fashion, crashing a wide half-volley through the covers for a four.
