Rain delays action as covers come on

Aus 19-0 (5.3 Ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah continues as Khawaja defends a few deliveries. A sharp seamer follows, forcing Khawaja to duck under it, with Pant collecting neatly behind the stumps. Khawaja defends the next two balls but flicks the final delivery down the leg side for four runs. Four runs come off the over, and after 5 overs, Australia are 18-0.

Siraj resumes, with McSweeney attempting a single, but the ball is called dead. He leaves the next delivery and then pushes one towards mid-on, calling for a quick single. Khawaja, slow to respond, manages to make it home safely despite a wayward throw from Akash Deep. 

However, the rain intensifies, prompting the umpires to call on the ground staff. The covers are brought on as play is halted.
