Aus 77-3 (35 Ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith exposes his leg stump before attempting a flick, and Siraj appeals for LBW. Pant and Rohit decide not to review. Replays suggest the ball would have missed leg stump by an inch or two.

Siraj walks over to Labuschagne, gets close for a quick chat, and then flips the bails off at the striker's end. Just as Siraj walks away, Labuschagne flips them back over, prompting the crowd to boo Siraj.

Siraj delivers a good-length ball just outside off. The crowd continues to boo Siraj.

Labuschagne finds enough space and takes an easy two runs. The over ends with a dot ball. After 33 overs, Australia is 72-2.

Reddy continues, and Smith clips one for three runs.

Reddy strikes! A thick edge, and it's caught by Kohli! No mistake from the fielder, and Labuschagne departs for 12 off 5 balls. An excellent performance from the young bowler!

Nitish continues bowling to Travis Head, who has been dismissed four times in his last four balls faced at this venue. Head successfully defends the rest of the over. Three runs and a wicket come off it, and after 34 overs, Australia is 75-3.

Siraj continues with a good-length delivery. Smith leaves it alone, and it's a dot ball. 

The next delivery, no shot offered, there's an LBW appeal. Siraj was celebrating before appealing and was shocked the finger didn't go up, as were Kohli and Pant. India reviews. Ball-tracker shows it was just clipping the off-stump on umpire's call, so Smith survives, and India retains their review.

Smith takes a single off the next ball.

As Head faces Siraj, the crowd grows louder. He defends the first ball and takes a single to end the over, getting off the mark. Just two runs come off it, and after 35 overs, Australia is 77-3.
