Aus 41-1 (14 ovs); Target to win: 323 | Scorecard

Mohammed Shami to start off with the ball after the tea break. India made to pay for some poor captaincy as they decide to employ a spread out slip cordon.

Harris edges the fourth ball and it goes in the big gap between first slip and a wide second slip as Pujara at first slip makes a valiant effort diving to his left and gets his hand to it but can't complete the catch. That catch would have gone straight to the second slip if it had been in it's normal position.

Unbelievable captaincy from Kohli to spread the slips around despite the chances of batsmen getting the edges being more against a relatively new ball.

Harris rubs more salts into India's wounds as he goes after Ashwin in the next over. He plays a beautiful drive through the covers off Ashwin as the off-spinner overpitches for a four before he clips the next through midwicket for the same result.

He then opens the face of the bat and runs it to point for a single.

Usman Khawaja tries to cut the last ball as he hits it uppishly falling just short of the fielder diving to his right at point.
