Aus 22-1 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Once again the ball kicks off quite alarmingly as Labuschagne is struck on the gloves as he tries to leave the first ball of Siraj's fourth over.
That looks like a painful blow as the physio comes out but he is okay to continue.
The next ball is pitched up and moves away as Labuschagne gets the edge but it goes on the bounce to third slip.
He clips the third ball past the fielder at square leg and pushes Warner to go for the third run.
Siraj continues to probe as Warner gets it off the bottom of the bat and he punches the last ball to mid-off.
Shami bowls full but away from the stumps as Labuschagne leaves before he defends the next on the leg side.
Labuschagne defends as the ball goes through his legs and nearly rolls back on to the stumps. He clips the last ball to deep square leg for a single to retain strike.
Some invariable bounce already. The full delivery from Siraj hardly bounces but the line is away from the stumps as Labuchagne leaves.
Siraj bowls the scrambled seam delivery as the ball swings away but stays a bit low to beat Labuschange. The next ball bounces and seams away as the right-hander again plays and misses.
Siraj gets the ball to swing into Labuschagne, who is struck on the pads but the loud shout for leg before is ignored as the ball was clearly doing too much.
Australia are 22/1 in 10 overs, with Warner on 13 and Labuschagne on eight as duo steadied the ship after an early wicket.
