India 22-0 (15 ovs); Target to win: 340 | Scorecard

Jaiswal looking to disrupt the pacer's length by walking down the track but so far nothing has worked for him.

Boland continues to plug away in the channel on and around the off-stump.

Jaiswal defends it on the off-side and wants a quick single but is sent back and drives the last ball to mid-on.

Jaiswal, who normally likes to bat freely, has struggled to get going, scoring 10 from 49 balls faced so far with a single boundary.

Rohit looks to take on the short ball from Cummins but is beaten for pace. He perished after miscuing the pull shot off the same bowler in the first innings.

He plays the pull shot next ball for a single to fine leg and Jaiswal keeps out the last four balls.

India are 22 for no loss in 15 overs, with Jaiswal on 10 from 53 balls and Rohit on eight from 37 balls.

The two openers have done well to play out the new ball in the first hour.
