Aus 45-1 (20 ovs) vs India 250 | Scorecard

Khawaja is looking to play a role similar to India's No. 3 Pujara. He has played 20 dot balls in a row now as he looks to get used to the pitch and bowlers and then consolidate later on.

Shami not making the batsmen play enough as Khawaja continues to leave.

In the next over, Harris has a close shave as he comes forward to defend as it falls just short of the silly point fielder.

Two balls later, he comes down the track and lofts Ashwin back over his head for a four.

Some bad news for India as Shami has to go off the field with some discomfort in his shoulder after bowling just four overs in his first spell.

Meanwhile BCCI confirms that there is no problem with Shami and 'he will be back on the field after this over.'

Bumrah comes back into the attack. Khawaja continues to defend as he plays out a maiden over from the pacer. The left-hander has not scored a run for the last 30 balls but Australia won't mind as the two batsmen are grinding out the Indian bowlers.

Ashwin gives some flight and also some width as Harris slaps it through the covers for a four to continue his positive approach against the senior spinner.
