Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been assigned the opening duties for India. Hardie takes charge of the new ball for Australia, with a slip in place.
Jaiswal attempts a swing but misses the first delivery. He pushes the next to mid-off, securing no runs. Another dot ball ensues as he pushes to mid-off where a fielder awaits.
On the following delivery, he plays across, prompting a significant LBW appeal. The decision is not given, and the Australians opt for a review. The review reveals the ball pitched outside the line, resulting in Australia losing the review.
Benrendorff operates from the opposite end. Jaiswal skillfully locates the gap, guiding the ball to the boundary for four runs. The subsequent delivery is sent back to the bowler. A flick towards point results in an overthrow, granting an extra run. With extra bounce, the ball sails over Wade's reach, providing bonus runs for India. The short-pitched delivery rises sharply, eluding Jaiswal's attempted cut and soaring in height, leaving Wade with no chance. Four runs are added. The over concludes with a single.
With 11 runs off the over, India stands at 12-0 after two overs.
