Aus 147-3 (40 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Siraj continues after the drinks break. Head is struck on the body by the good sharp delivery from the pacer which jags in sharply.

Another good bouncer slanting across as Head tries to pull but is beaten as Kohli appeals for the catch but wicketkeeper Bharat not interested.

Head gets right behind the ball as he defends the last ball with utmost caution for another maiden over by Siraj.

Smith content to play the supporting role as he clips Thakur for a single. The pacer oversteps to concede a no-ball which Head looks to cut but edges over the slips for a four and takes a single next ball.

Thakur bowls another loose delivery, a wide half-volley which Smith drives through the covers for a four.

He overpitches again and Smith helps himself to the third four of the over through square leg.

Thakur goes for 16 runs in his ninth over as Australia again seize the momentum with a good partnership between Smith and Head.

Time for spin as Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack, to bowl the 39th over.

Head cuts the second ball to thirdman for a single and the next ball goes off Smith's pads over leg spin for a leg bye.

Head picks another run off the fifth ball before Smith comes down and defends the last ball back to the bowler.

Thakur continues despite going for runs in his previous over. He nearly strikes as Head pokes away from his body but is beaten. He is interested in the caught behind appeal but doesn't get much support and Head cuts the next to thirdman for a single.

Two more singles as Australia reach 147/3 in 40 overs with Smith on 29 and Head on 41. Australia have scored 43 from the last 10 overs to snatch the momentum.
