Aus 169-6 (73 ovs) vs India 250 | Scorecard

A maiden over for Ashwin as Head defends carefully before Shami comes in to replace Ishant. He gives away four runs in the over, including a leg bye and three singles.

Head drills a wide delivery from Ashwin through the covers for one to bring up Australia's 150, in the 70th over.

The left-hander crashes a wide half-volley from Shami through the covers for a four and then drills the last ball straight down the ground for another boundary to inch closer to his half-century.

Ashwin gets it to turn big from the rough, beating right-hander Pat Cummins as it goes over the stumps for three byes as wicketkeeper Pant is late to react.

Ashwin tries the quicker ball which slips down the leg side for two more byes as Pant is slow to react again.

Part-time off-spinner Murali Vijay comes into the attack as the pacers are given a rest.

Head punches a short ball to sweeper cover for a single to bring up his fifty, from 103 balls.
