India 21-0 (13 ovs); Target to win: 340 | Scorecard

Cummins back into the attack as he replaces Starc. Rohit finally gets one off the middle as he punches Cummins straight back with Travis Head making a diving stop at mid-off to keep it down to two runs.

Rohit has now survived for 28 deliveries -- the most by him in this series. His previous best was the 27 balls he faced in the first innings of the Brisbane Test.

Boland beats Jaiswal on the outside edge as the left-hander attempts to defend before he comes down the track and leaves.

Jaiswal again uses his feet but is beaten by some away movement and bounce. He drives the last ball straight back for a single as Cummins puts in the dive at mid-on.

Australia's pacers have gone past the bat so many times but India will be glad that they still have all 10 wickets intact.

Jaiswal has looked all at sea against the moving ball as he plays and misses against Cummins this time.

He inside edges the third ball for a single and Rohit carefully keeps out the last three balls.

India playing for survival as they reach 21 for no loss in 13 overs.
