Rohit, Pujara take India past 50

January 16, 2021 09:40

India 51-1 (18 ovs) vs Aus 369 | Scorecard

Cummins drops short as Rohit pulls it through square leg for a single as he keeps the scoreboard ticking along.

Lyon, playing in his 100th Test, comes into the attack to bowl the 16th over.

Rohit pushes the first ball into the covers for a single before Pujara defends the next two balls and then takes one on the off-side followed by another run to the former off the last ball.

Cummins gets the ball to kick off alarmingly off length as Rohit is committed to the poke and gets the edge which flies past the slips for a four.

However, a few balls later he strokes a full delivery right off the middle straight down the ground for another boundary and then pulls the fifth ball to fine leg for a single to bring up India's 50, in the 17th over.

Rohit comes down the track to Lyon and is deceived in the flight as he uses his pads to keep it out. He then glances the next ball through fine leg region for a single before Pujara keeps out the last two balls.
