India 106-5 (41 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Rishabh Pant off the mark as he flicks Starc through midwicket for two runs. He tries another pull to a short ball down the leg side but fails to make connection.

Starc then beats him with a full wide delivery as Pant plays away from his body and misses.

A few words for the young Pant from Starc, who beats him again off the very next delivery.

Pujara will need to show more intent now, with Pant and the lower order to follow. He rocks back and punches a short ball from Lyon through the covers for a four, to take his score into the 20s.

After being beaten a few times by Starc in his previous over, Pant decides to take the attack to the fast bowler.

He goes for the lofted down shot down the ground, which he doesn't connect well but manages to clear mid-on for two runs.

Pant then flicks the next ball uppishly and times it well for a six over the square leg region, to bring up India's 100, in the 41st over.

Starc goes wide as Pant goes hard at it, only to get the edge which flies past the slips for a four. The next ball again flies off the edge, this time Pant gets the leading edge which goes past the cover fielder for two runs.

The last ball is short and wide as Pant throws his bat but fails to make connection.
