Aus 92-4 (25 ovs) & 300 vs India 332 | Scorecard

Jadeja is getting a lot of turn and bounce as this time Maxwell watches turn big as he lets it alone.

In the next over, Handscomb plays a nice drive through the covers for a four as Kuldeep struggles to make an impression in the second innings.

Captain Rahane makes a change as senior spinner Ashwin comes into the attack in place of Jadeja, who bowled four overs in his first spell.

Ashwin looking to bowl in the channel outside the off-stump as Maxwell blocks before he drives it to long-on for one. The last ball bounces as Handscomb plays back to turn it on the leg side but is beaten.

Change of ends for Jadeja as he takes over from Kuldeep. The first ball is a wide half volley as Maxwell plays another good cover drive for a couple before he takes one. Handscomb again plays back as Jadeja's straight delivery stays low and beats the right-hander before passing close to the stumps.

The last ball is hit straight into the fielder at silly point who takes evasive action as the close in fielders shout for catch but he has no chance of taking that.

Maxwell sweeps Ashwin but hits Pujara at short leg but gets the next one to square leg for one.

Ashwin gets one to hold its line as Handscomb again plays back and gets an edge but Rahane comes up with a brilliant reflex catch at slip. He barely had time to react but he somehow managed to get his right hand out and hold it.

Australia are reduced to 87 for four, with an overlead off 55 runs.
