Aus 104-3 (30 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Siraj from the other end. Smith keeps out the first three ball before he clips the fourth for a single.

Head drives a full wide delivery square on the off-side for a four before he keeps out the last ball.

Shami starts his new over with a short ball which moves quite a bit after going over Smith, who ducks under it.

Smith glances the next fine on the leg side and gets a four with India having no fielder at leg slip for Shami.

Shami bowls a sharp bouncer which Smith tries to pull but is beaten as India appeal for catch off the edge. The umpire is not interested and India also decide against the review.

Another good short of good length ball from Shami as Smith shuffling across has to fend it away.

Siraj from over the wicket gets the ball to slant across left-hander Head, who pokes at it and is beaten, and then takes a single next ball.

Smith punches Siraj through the covers for three runs and Head plays a delightful flick off his pads through midwicket for a four.

Shami continues as he sticks to the full length but Smith is happy to leave before he pushes the next to midwicket.

Smith misses the clip off the fourth ball to collect a leg bye and Head looks to leave but the ball goes off his bat towards point for a single.

In the next over, Head flicks Siraj uppishly over mdiwicket for a four to take Australia past the 100-run mark, in the 30th over, and takes a single next ball.

Siraj gets the ball to nip in sharply to Smith, who is struck high on the pads. He looks to pull the next ball but the ball stays a bit low and he is struck on the body.
