Aus 178-3 (53 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Umesh starts off with the ball in the final session on Day 1. The first ball swings into left-hander Head, who misses the clip and is hit on the pads, but manages to get a leg bye.
Smith at his watchful best as he defends the next into the off-side and blocks the third ball as he plays out the rest of the over.
Jadeja from the other end. Rohit could have tried either Shami or Siraj for a short burst after the break but he decides to go in with Jadeja's spin.
Jadeja starts with a wide half-volley which Head drills through the covers for a four and then takes a single to raise the 100-run stand for the fourth wicket.
The two batters pick a single each off the last two balls, to get seven runs from the over.
