Aus 55-1 (17 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The sun is out at The Oval and the Australian batters are scoring much more freely now.

Umesh has gone for 21 runs in two overs, including five overs, to put his captain Rohit under some early pressure.

With the seamers still getting some movement, will Rohit decide to bring in spinner Jadeja so early into the attack?

Shami and Siraj both bowled a longish first spell and might need some rest before they are brought back.

Thakur bowls a few outswingers to Labuschagne, who opts to leave, before he beats him with a superb inswinger.

The ball comes in sharply to strike him on the pads but the umpire turns down the appeal before Rohit takes the review.

That is a narrow escape for Labuschagne as the ball is clipping the leg stump which means the decision stays with umpire's call.

India keep the review but Thakur nearly struck an important blow in that over.

Umesh continues despite going for runs in his previous over. Warner punches the second ball to deep point for a single.

Nasty delivery from Umesh! He gets the ball to jump off length and Labuschagne looking to defend is struck again on the gloves.

A good comeback from Umesh as he concedes just a single in his third over.
