SIX!

Sam Fanning fetches the delivery from outside off stump line and dispatches it over deep mid-wicket fence for a big six. Australia were in desperate need of boundaries and they got two in the same over. 

Poor fielding gifts four runs!

Atharva Ankolekar bowls down leg and send it wide of short fine-leg fielder for a boundary. The fielder gave it tough chase but failed to pull it back in despite reaching there on time. This poor stuff from the fielder.

Fifty for Fanning!

Sam Fanning steers the ball towards cover and completes a single to bring up his first fifty in this competition. 

Four!

Sam Fanning moves across revealing all three stumps. His movement forces Ravi Bishnoi to bowl full into the stumps and he clipped it towards fine leg for four runs. 

Liam Scott is a concussion substitute!

Just a reminder, Liam Scott has come in to bat as a concussion substitute in place of Corey Kelly who inured himself while fielding.

Four!

Four!

Four!

Huge appeal... turned down!

Kartik Tyagi takes new batsman Liam Scott by surprise with an in-swinging yorker but the umpire has turned down his LBW appeal. 

Kartik Tyagi strikes in his second spell!

Kartik Tygai provides India wit the much-needed breakthrough as he removes Patrick Rowe by getting him caught behind stumps for 21 runs. 

Solid partnership for Australia!

These two Australia batsmen have shown great maturity and done well to see off danger from the Indian bowlers and put them on course to chase down the total.

Four!

50 up for Australia!

Australia 37/4 after 10 overs!

After losing four quick wickets in the beginning of their run chase, Australia have done well to pull things a back a bit.

Four!

Akash Singh pitches the ball up and Patrick Rowe uses the bowler's pace to hit it through covers by opening the face of the bat and collects a boundary. 

Edge and four!

Sushant Mishra forces Sam Fanning to reach out for a delivery which was moving away from him. He does exactly that but only manages an outside edge which goes away from the diving second slip fielder and runs away to the fence. 

Australia are 23/4 after five overs!

Five overs gone and Australia are 23/4. The Indian bowlers, especially Kartik Tyagi, got their side to a dream start as his first overs accounted for three wickets. However, the Indian bowlers have not asked many question of the Australian batsmen in the following overs.

Sushant Mishra twists his left leg!

Sushant Mishra loses his footing and falls awkwardly and seems like he has hurt his left leg. Nothing to worry as he looks fine and will continue to bowl.

Kartik Tyagi gets his third wicket!

Kartik Tyagi bowls wide of off stump, inviting Oliver Davies to reach out for the ball and the batsman fall for bowler's trap and hands a simple catch to the slip fielder. Jaiswal completed a fine catch to push Australia on the backfoot in their runchase.

Australia are now 17/4 after 2.3 overs!

Four legbyes!

Kartik Tyagi drifts down leg side and Oliver Davies fails to get his bat to the ball but gets four runs anyway as ball races away to the fine leg fence after kissing his thigh pad.

Free hit and Six!

Sushant Mishra starts his over with a dangerous beamer and the umpire signals a free-hit. Sam Fanning makes  most of the opportunity and clears the fine leg fence for first six of the innings. 

Third wicket in an over!

Kartik Tyagi fires in a yorker and cleans up Lachlan Hearne to hand India third wicket. 

India get 2nd wicket... Mackenzie Harvey departs!

Mackenzie Harvey plays the wrong line, ball hits him on the pads and the umpire raises his finger to rule him out leg before. 

Four!

Mackenzie Harvey gets off the mark with a gorgeous cover drive which fetches him four runs. 

Wicket off first ball!Jake Fraser-McGurk

India get off to a best possible start as they get rid of Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk on the very first ball of the innings. Tyagi bowled full and straight and Sam Fanning called for a non-quick single. McGurk was not looking at his partner and paid the price as India strike with a runout.

Run chase begins!

Players are out in the middle and Kartik Tyagi to start the proceedings for India.
