Kohli, Sundar build India's lead

November 24, 2024

Ind 359-5 (110 ovs) & 150 vs Aus 104 | Scorecard

Kohli slowly inching towards the 50-run mark. He has struggled recently with just one fifty in his last 13 innings.

Sundar and Kohli have no difficulty against Lyon as they easily pick three runs off his 26th over.

The pitch starting to play some tricks with the bounce. Hazlewood's first ball of his 21st over stays very low as Kohli is beaten trying to defend. Kohli is lucky that the ball was not pitched in line else he would have found himself in trouble.

With tea round the corner, Kohli happy to watchfully play out a maiden over from the pacer.

Lyon to bowl the final over of the session. Sundar defends the first three balls before he takes a single on the off-side and Kohli plays out the last two balls.

India are 359/5 in 110 overs, for an overall lead of 405 runs.

Australia bounced back with four wickets in the post-lunch session, but India kept the momentum going with 84 runs from 26 overs.

Kohli played a few confident shots after a slow start for a solid knock of 40, while Sundar made 14.
