India 6-0 (5 ovs); Target to win: 340 | Scorecard

Rohit looking to be cautious against the new ball, not trying to play any risky shots early on.

He leaves the first two balls from Cummins before defending on the off-side and blocks the next before he plays out the last two balls.

Rohit is yet to get off the mark from 11 balls faced so far.

Starc continues to trouble Jaiswal. The left-hander blocks the first two balls before he leaves as the ball passes very close to the stumps.

Some late swing for Starc off a full delivery as Jaiswal looking to defend is beaten on the outside edge and he leaves the fifth ball, pitched back of length.

The last ball is overpitched as Jaiswal breaks the shackles by driving the last ball straight back for a boundary.

That has helped release the pressure after 22 dot balls in a row.
