Aus 9-0 (5 ovs) vs India 180 | Scorecard

Khawaja very watchful against Bumrah, not chasing anything away. Infact, Bumrah struggled with his line as the left-hander left five deliveries in the over while defending just one.

Even McSweeney looking to leave as much as possible. The Indians have kept it a bit wide of the off-stump as the young opener is able to keep out another maiden over.

Bumrah on 49 wickets this year will look to make it 50 with the new ball. He bowls a poor delivery, full and into the pads as Khawaja clips it to fine leg for one -- the first run after 26 dot balls in a row.

Bumrah loses his radar as he slips the ball way down the leg side to McSweeney as Pant fails to get there for four byes.

He finally gets one to pitch perfectly, full and moving away, to beat McSweeney on the block.
