Aus 70-2 (30 ovs) & 474 vs Ind 369 | Scorecard

Akash Deep bending his back as he beats Labuschagne on the outside edge with some extra bounce and movement.

The next ball again kicks off from length and this time Labuschagne is struck on the arm. He looks in some pain as he immediately calls for the physio.

He continues after some treatment, watchfully defending the last two balls on the off-side.

In the next over, Smith taps Bumrah on the off-side and wants a quick single but his partner is not interested.

'What's happening? These two are the best of mates and playing together for a long time,' exclaims Justin Langer on commentary.

Akash Deep oversteps for a no-ball before Labuschagne drives the pacer through the covers for three runs.

The next ball is on the stumps and is clipped through square leg for a couple of runs before he pokes and misses last ball.

Australia are 70/2 in 30 overs, having stretched their lead to 175 runs.
