Marnus Labuschagne
Aus 190-2 (55 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Play resumes in the post-tea session on Day 1. Australia will look to drive home the advantage and continue to build on the good work from the first two sessions.
Another good session with the bat could put Australia in the driver's seat. For India, the only way back is a few wickets before stumps, if they can push Australia back to around 5 or 6 wickets down in the session.
Jadeja begins the session with the ball. Smith defends the first two balls before he takes a single to midwicket off the third.
Labuschagne punches the short ball to the fielder at point before he advances down the track to loft the bowler straight down the ground for a four.
Akash Deep from the other end. A huge appeal for leg before wicket turned down as Smith shuffled a long way and was struck on the stumps.
India don't take the review. The ball tracker shows that the point of impact of ball hitting the stumps is umpire's call so India wouldn't have lost the review if they had taken it.
The next ball slips down the leg side as Smith glances it fine for a four. He drives the next ball through the covers for three runs.
He steers the last ball behind point for two runs to complete his fifty from 114 balls -- his second of the series.
