Smith, Head steer Australia past 150
June 07, 2023 19:16
Aus 153-3 (43 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Jadeja rushes through his second over. He bowls five dot balls in a row to Head, who keeps strike with a single from the last ball.
This is a game of patience. India will need to build some pressure and invite some mistake from the batters, especially Head, who looks keen to keep scoring at a good rate.
If Australia go into the tea break without any more wickets, they will hold the advantage. India will need a wicket or two before tea to check Australia's progress.
Thakur continues as Umesh still hasn't bowled in this session. Head drives the pacer through the covers for a single.
A fielder placed at backward square leg as Smith clips two balls in a row straight to the fielder to miss out on some runs and leaves the last ball for five dots in a row.
Jadeja gets the ball to go straight on with the arm as Head playing for the turn is beaten. He gets the leading edge next ball but it falls well short of the fielder in the covers.
Head plays a beautiful drive to the right of mid-off for a boundary off the last ball of the over, to take Australia past the 150-run mark.
