India 86-5 (38 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Mitchell Starc is called back into the attack. The first ball is short and wide as Pujara upper cuts it over the slip cordon for a four, only his second in 75 balls.

After patiently defending for the last one hour, Pujara looks keen to get on with things now.

The last ball is down the leg side as Pujara nudges it to fine leg for a single.

Time for spin as offie Nathan Lyon comes back into the attack, for his second spell.

Lyon getting some turn as Pujara gets an inside edge which falls just short of Handscomb at short leg before he looks to flick which flies just past the same fielder.

Pujara gets another inside edge as Lyon gets it to turn sharply but there is no fielder at leg slip as the batsman picks two runs.

Rohit takes Lyon as he plays the slog sweep, hitting it uppishly over the leg side. Marcus Harris at deep square leg takes the catch but the momentum takes him over the ropes and he is unable to lob the ball back in time as Rohit gets a six.

He comes down the track and attempts another cross batted swipe but this time he miscues it completely and Harris completes an easy catch running in from deep square leg.

Rohit throws his wicket away with an unbelievable shot, after he had looked good to score 37.

India continue to slip as they are reduced to 86 for five in 38 overs.
