India 16-3 (5 ovs) vs Aus 188 | Scorecard

Gill, on 2, gets a lifeline as wicketkeeper Inglis puts down a tough chance. Gill had played away from his body to get the edge which was going straight to the first slip fielder but Inglish dived across and ended up grassing the chance.

Gill makes it worse for Starc as he drives the next ball in some style through the covers for a four and then takes a single on the leg side.

In the next over, Gill has another close shave as he looks to defend Stoinis but gets the edge which Smith dives full length to his right and gets his fingers tips on it but can't hold on.

Virat Kohli looks in ominous touch as he plays a cracking straight drive off an overpitched delivery to get off the mark with a confident boundary.

In the next over, Gill drives Starc into the covers as the fielder half stops it, to concede just a single.

Kohli misses the incoming delivery from Starc and is struck on the pads but the leg before shout is turned down and Australia also not interested in the review.

The next ball goes the other way as Kohli playing for the swing is beaten on the outside edge.

Starc finally gets his man as Kohli is dismissed leg before wicket for four. Starc got the ball to tail in late into Kohli, who shuffled across but missed the flick and was caught in front as he walked off with a review.

Starc strikes again off the very next delivery! Suryakumar misses the incoming delivery as he plays outside the line and caught in front but umpire Nitin Menon is unmoved.

Australia take the review and overturn the decision as the ball has struck in front and going on to hit the stumps.

Suryakumar out for a first ball duck with India slipping to 16/3 in five overs.
