Aus 23-1 (10 ovs) & 474 vs Ind 369 | Scorecard

Khawaja very watchful as he keeps out the first five balls from Akash Deep before taking a single off the last ball to retain strike.

In the next over, Khawaja uses his feet to disrupt Bumrah's rhythm but is beaten on the outside edge. A couple of balls later he plays and misses again despite using his feet as back of length delivery goes past the outside edge.

He taps the fifth ball on the off-side for a single and Labuschagne gets off the mark with one from the last ball.

The Indian players have been buoyed by that early wicket of Konstas. A lot of chatter from behind the stumps, mostly from Virat Kohli in the slips, to lift his pace bowlers.

Akash Deep gets the ball to jag away late as Labuschagne is squared up in his defence and hit on the pads. There is a confident shout for leg before but the impact is quite high.

The last ball beats the right-hander on the outside edge as he pokes away from his body.

Australia off to a nervy start as they reach 23/1 in 10 overs.
