India 81-3 (21 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Boland back into the attack as Lyon gets one over. Gill inside edges the first ball on to the pads as Kohli calls him for a quick single.

Kohli plays away from the body, looking to drive Boland as the edge flies past gully for a four.

Boland full at the stumps as Kohli defends with soft hands before he drives the pacer through the covers for three runs.

Starc turning the first session on its head in his second spell. He gets the big wicket of Kohli, who is caught in the slips for seven.

The back of length delivery slanted across as Kohli is unsure whether to leave or play and ends up deflecting the ball straight to Steve Smith at second slip. This was similar to his dismissal in the first innings of the Perth Test, when he was caught behind off Josh Hazlewood.

Two wickets in four balls for Starc as India are reduced to 77/3 in the 21st over.

Rishabh Pant in at No 5. He takes just two balls to get off the mark, flicking the overpitched delivery from Starc through square leg for a boundary.
