4.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Rahul is off the mark, bad end to a very successful over. Starc steams in and bowls a pacy delivery but down the leg side, Rahul manages to flick it fine down the leg side and the outfield here in Mumbai is ultra quick so the ball dashes to the fence.

4.4 overs (0 Run) Full on the stumps, Rahul starts his innings with a solid front foot defense.
KL Rahul replaces Rohit Sharma out in the middle.
4.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! Caught! Stunned silence here in Wankhede as the local boy is walking back. A smart and gutsy delivery from Starc. It is full and outside off, cross-seam delivery. Rohit looks to drive it away from the body but he does so uppishly as the ball holds onto the pitch and he hits it from the lower half of his bat. The ball falls on its way to mid off. Warner there comes forward and takes a very good catch inches above the ground. Rohit cannot believe it. But he will have to walk back. Only the Aussie voice can be heard. Big and early wicket for the visitors.
4.2 overs (0 Run) On the the stumps, RS blocks it with a dead bat.

3.6 overs (0 Run) This one swings back in but does so late on. It is on a length outside off, Dhawan is aware of his off pole and covers it and leaves it alone. Maiden from Cummins, a very good over as he was consistently good in this over with his lines and lengths.

3.1 overs (0 Run) Swing and a miss. Fuller outside off, Dhawan looks to play his trademark slash on the off side but misses it. He would have been gutted had he edged that to the keeper.
2.6 overs (0 Run) Short ball, first one from the Aussies in the 18 legal balls so far. Rohit hops and defends it to get through the over. Better over from Starc.

2.1 overs (0 Run) Full and targeting the off pole, Rohit defends it off his front foot.

1.5 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Cummins misses his line and sprays one down the leg side. Rohit looks to flick but misses.
1.4 overs (0 Run) Beauty from Cummins! That was not far away from getting rid of the dangerous Rohit. It is full and around off, it seems to be coming in with the angle but swings away off the deck. Rohit looks to defend but gets squared up and it was just whiskers away from finding his outside edge.
1.3 overs (0 Run) On the pads, Rohit glances it to mid-wicket.

Pat Cummins to partner Mitchell Starc from the other end.
0.6 over (0 Run) Full around off, Rohit looks to defend but it goes off the inner half to the leg side. End of an eventful first over.
0.5 over (4 Runs) FOUR! Easily done! Overpitched on off, Rohit just uses the pace of the ball and drives it right of the meat of the bat through covers for the second boundary of the over. Rohit looks in the mood today here in his home ground.
0.4 over (0 Run) Direct hit and it would have been curtains for Sharma. Good length ball outside off, Sharma drives it to the left of mid off. Watner there gets to the ball quickly. Rohit comes out for a quick single but Dhawan sends him back. Warner has a shy at the keeper's end but misses.
0.3 over (0 Run) Starc pulls his length back around off and it goes away with the angle. Rohit does not disturb that one.
0.2 over (0 Run) Starc goes full and closer to the off pole, Sharma pushes it towards mid off.
0.1 over (4 Runs) FOUR! India are off to a cracking start! Starc starts with a warmup delivery. It is full and wide outside off, Rohit needs no time to set himself. He sees it overpitched and he drives it with all his class through covers for a boundary. The idea from Starc is right as he is trying to swing it back in from there but the margin of error is just too small.
Done and dusted with the national anthems. The Australian players are walking out on the field and are taking their respective positions. To a huge reception from the home crowd, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma stride out to open the innings for India. The latter will take the strike. Mitchell Starc to start the proceedings for the tourists with the first new ball. Two slips in place for Starc to begin with.
Both sets of players walk out to the middle for their respective national anthems. Fasten your seat belts as we are just moments away from the action to begin!
