India 107-5 (32 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Boland continues as Pant solidly blocks the first three before he pushes the pacer in the gap on the off-side for a single.

Cummins back from the other end in place of Starc, who has taken 3/39 in 11 overs.

No signs of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh yet as Australia attack with their frontline pacers.

Pant keeps the scoreboard ticking along as he taps Cummins for one and Reddy plays a cracking straight drive for a boundary past mid-off to get off the mark in some style to bring up India's 100.

Mitchell Marsh comes into the attack to bowl the 32nd over. His pace not troubling Pant, who has enough time to rock back and pull the short ball over square leg for a four.

The fielder is pushed back and Pant taps the next ball in that same region for another run.

Reddy drives the last ball through the covers for a couple of runs.
