India 62-2 (17 ovs) vs Aus; Target: 106 | Scorecard


Nathan Lyon comes into the attack in place of Hazlewood, who bowled a good spell in the morning. New batsman Ajinkya Rahane gets off the mark with a single off the first ball he faces to long-on as Australia strangely spread the field for the new batsman.

Rahul is beaten off the last ball as Lyon gets one to go straight and go past the edge of the bat.

Rahane looks in a rush as he plays a cracking straight drive past mid-off for a four. The next ball is short and Rahane pulls it over midwicket for another boundary to settle some nerves in the Indian dressing room.

He picks a single off the fourth ball to deep square leg before Cummins squares up Rahul with a good short directed at the body which he fends on the off-side as it falls safely and he somehow keeps the next short ball down.

Rahane sweeps Lyon on the leg side for one before Rahul gets the edge which goes through the vacant thirdman region for his third four. He has been quite positive as he sweeps the fifth ball to fine leg for another run.

India are 62 for two in 17 overs, with another 44 runs needed for victory.
