Nitish Reddy

India 294-7 (88 ovs) vs Aus 474 | Scorecard

Scott Boland back into the attack in place of Starc. The first ball is a wide half-volley as Reddy plays a handsome drive through the covers for three runs.

Boland gets the length ball to move away and beat Sundar on the outside edge as he attempts to defend.

He then takes a risky single after Travis Head misfielded at mid-off as India's indecisive running between the wickets continues.

Reddy tries to drive the last ball but it goes off the inside half past mid-on for two runs.

India have made a good comeback to reduce the deficit to 180 runs. Australia will be desperate to make the second new ball count and make the breakthrough.

Another wicket gets them in the tail and gives them the chance to finish off the innings quickly.

India will be aiming to reduce the deficit as much as possible and keep themselves in the contest.
