- 21:08 (IST)
- 20:40 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Sensational hitting from Rinku Singh!Rinku Singh, you beauty! The southpaw slammed Sean Abbott for three fours and two sixes in the 19th over.

- 19:56 (IST)India vs Australia Live: Brilliant from Australia!This is super bowling from Australia. They have brought India's scoring rate down to 9.64. Either of Ruturaj Gaikwad or Ishan Kishan will have to take some risk to keep India's scoring rate over 10 as anything below 200 doesn't seem a safe score.
- 19:34 (IST)India vs Australia Live: WICKET!5.5 - Nathan Ellis has got the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. It was a back of a hand slower ball from the right-arm pacer that earned him the wicket.

- 19:15 (IST)India vs Australia Live: FOUR!Another boundary! This time Yashasvi Jaiswal brought a sweep shot from his armoury and the result is a four.
