Australia off to a good start

December 09, 2018 10:03

Aus 25-0 (10 ovs); Target to win: 323 | Scorecard

Left-hander Harris is beaten as he pokes at a full wide delivery before he steers the next past the slips for three runs to the vacant thirdman region.

Finch then plays a long way away from his body as he tries to drive a wide delivery from Bumrah but can't beat the fielder in the covers.

Ishant from round the wicket drops short as Harris rocks back and cuts it past point for the first four of the innings and then takes a single.

Spin introduced early as Ravichandran Ashwin comes in to bowl the eight over of the innings.

The first ball is short as Harris goes back and cuts it but can't beat point. He picks a single off the fifth ball and Finch does the same off the last ball to keep strike.

India end up giving away two extra runs courtesy of an overthrow as the fielder at square leg has an unnecessary shy at the stumps with the batsman back in his crease.

Ishant overpitches as Finch gets a big stride forward before hitting it crisply through the covers for his first boundary.

Harris is able to clip Ashwin off his pads through square leg for two runs as Australia reach 25 for no loss in 10 overs, still needing another 298 runs for victory.
