Aus 162-6 (35 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jadeja bowls another tidy over, giving away just four singles, not taking much time to send down his seven overs.

Handscomb gets a lifeline as he miscues the flick on the leg side as it goes high and Shankar at midwicket makes a valiant effort running back but fails to get to the ball.

The next ball is a half-tracker as Maxwell easily pulls it over midwicket for a four.

In the next over, Maxwell helps himself to another boundary through the same region as Jadeja drops short this time.

Handscomb chips Chahal uppishly over the fielder at midwicket for one. Chahal then gifts Maxwell a full toss as he smacks it over the leg side for a four, to race to 17 from 13 balls, with all three boundaries coming through midwicket off poor deliveries.

He drills the last ball through the covers for another four to continue his quickfire start.

Kohli brings back Shami and he nearly produces the wicket of Maxwell, who top edges the pull but it goes fine on the leg side for a four.

But he perishes attempting a similar shot as he top edges again with Bhuvneshwar completing a stunning catch, rushing in quickly from the fine leg boundary before he puts in a full length dive forward to complete the catch.

Maxwell perishes after a quickfire cameo of 26 from 19 balls, including five boundaries.
