India 17-0 (10 ovs); Target to win: 340 | Scorecard

Starc misses his line as he strays down the leg side. Jaiswal misses the flick but the ball goes fine off his pads for four leg byes. He then avoids the short ball before he is beaten going for the ambitious drive through the covers off a full delivery swinging away.

Boland keeping it back of length as Rohit is able to leave on length. He is completely squared up off the fourth ball which bounces and moves away but the edge falls short of Marsh at gully, for a single.

Jaiswal is beaten off the last ball on the outside edge as India reach 17 for no loss in 10 overs.

It has been a tough 45 minutes for the Indian openers against the new ball but things will certainly get easier once the ball starts to lose its shine.
