Aus 127-3 (14 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Krunal starts his second over with a leg side followed by two singles before Maxwell cuts a short ball past point for two runs and then takes one on the leg side.

Stoinis attempts the reverse but fails to make connection and is given out leg before wicket.

After consulting his partner Maxwell, Stoinis decides to take the review.

That was a nothing shot from Stoinis as he had premeditated too early and was beaten. There is no inside edge but the ball tracker shows that the ball would have bounced over the stumps and Stoinis survives.

He clips the last ball to long-on for a single as Australia reach 90 for three in 12 overs.

Kuldeep, who took two for 16 in three overs, is taken off as Khaleel comes back into the attack.

India miss a golden opportunity to claim the wicket of Maxwell, who comes down a long way before he is sent back. KL Rahul at point is unable to hit the stumps at the non-striker's end with a direct hit.

Khaleel then drops short as Stoinis pulls it over midwicket for a four. The left-arm pacer then tries a quick bouncer which goes high as Stoinis goes for the upper cut and is beaten but the umpire rules it a wide.

Stoinis clips Khaleel to midwicket as Kohli comes charging in from the deep but fails to pick up the ball and ends up giving away three runs.

A single to Maxwell off the next ball brings up Australia's 100, in the 13th over.

Khaleel pitches the last ball right up as Stoinis lofts it back over the bowler's head for a four.

The runs continue to flow for Australia in the middle overs. Krunal bowls a low full toss which Maxwell clips to deep midwicket for two runs. He swings the next ball high over the midwicket fence for a six.

After a steady start Maxwell has cut loose! He hammers the last ball straight down the ground for another six before he swings the next ball for the same result over midwicket to make it a hat-trick of sixes as he races to 30 from 15 balls, with 20 coming from the last four balls.

Krunal fires the fifth ball right up as Maxwell flicks it behind square for two runs and keeps strike with one from the last ball as the spinner goes for 23 runs in his third over.
