Jhye Richardson to bowl from the other end. Rahul offers no shot to the first ball before he blocks the next. The pacer then drifts on the pads as Rahul clips it square for one before Dhawan plays out the rest of the over.

Just four runs from the first two overs before Rahul breaks the shackles as he cracks a wide delivery from Behrendorff through the covers for a four.

A single to Rahul before Dhawan comes down the track and uppishly clips the pacer behind square for another four.
