India 3-1 (2 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

KL Rahul and Murali Vijay walk out to open the batting for India, while left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc will bowl the first over for the hosts.

The first ball is pitched up and shapes in slightly as Rahul defends it back to the bowler with a straight bat.

The next ball is pitched right up as Rahul gets a big inside edge back on to his pads, trying to drive it through the off-side.

He offers no shot to the third ball before clipping the next through midwicket for a couple to get off the mark.

The fifth ball is full and very wide as Rahul opts to leave before he is beaten by the last ball.

Josh Hazlewood from the other end. Murali Vijay defends the first ball solidly but gets a thick inside edge off the next which falls to the left of short leg.

Hazlewood gets the third ball to leave him as Vijay is beaten before he gets another inside edge for a single to get off the mark.

Hazlewood strikes early with the wicket of Rahul, who goes for the big drive through the off-side but gets an edge and is caught by Aaron Finch at third slip for two.

A big blow for India early in the contest as Rahul suffers another failure.
