Khaleel strikes; Australia lose 1st wicket

November 21, 2018 13:47

Aus 31-1 (5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar bowls in a good channel just outside the off-stump as Finch is unable to get a run off the first three balls, making it 10 dot balls out of 15 bowled so far.

The fourth ball is slightly short as Finch pulls it behind square and picks up two runs.

He then stands tall and punches a short ball straight to mid-off and steals a quick run.

The last ball is halfway down as Short pulls it through the vacant fine leg region for the first boundary of the innings.

DROPPED! Finch, on 6, gets a lifeline as Kohli at short cover puts down a tough chance. Finch goes hard at a full wide delivery from Bumrah, hitting it powerfully straight to Kohli who makes an attempt but the ball bursts through his fingers.

Following the dropped catch, Finch makes India pay with back to back fours. He hammers the third ball, which is full and on the stumps, straight down the ground beating mid-on for a four.

The next ball comes in sharply as Finch is cramped for room but gets a thick inside edge which goes short fine leg for another boundary.

He gets a thick outside edge off the last ball for two runs as Bumrah goes for 12 in the over.

A change in the bowling as left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed comes into the attack. He strikes with his very first delivery with the wicket of Short, who is caught by Kuldeep at mid-on, who does well to judge a high catch running back to his right.

Short, who made 7, went for the big shot down the ground despite not being to the pitch of the ball and ended up lobbing it high.

Finch goes for the cover drive next ball but gets an inside edge for a single.

Chris Lynn starts off in confident fashion as he drills a wide half-volley through the covers for a four to get off the mark and then picks one off the fifth ball and Finch keeps strike with one off the last ball.
