Harshit Rana

Aus 37-4 (14 ovs) vs India 150 | Scorecard

Siraj replaces Bumrah, who bowled a cracking first spell of 3/9 in six overs, including two maiden overs.

Labuschange offers no shot to the first two balls before the third hit comes in and hits the thigh pads. The ball has dropped close to the crease as the Aussie uses his bat to push it away and Siraj is annoyed as he was about to pick the ball.

The next ball is full and swings into Labuschagne who gets the inside edge and Pant makes a good stop to his left.

Rana continues from the other end. He makes the mistake of pitching the ball up as Marsh plays a beautiful straight drive past mid-off for a four.

He shortens the length next ball to get some bounce and away movement and beat Marsh on the outside edge.

Australia are 37/4 in 14 overs, still trailing India by 113 runs.

This has been a superb comeback by the Indians led by their captain Bumrah.
