Aus 42-5 (20 ovs) vs India 150 | Scorecard

India are firmly back in the contest with Australia reeling on 38/5, still trailing by 112 runs on a lively pitch in Perth.

Rana has been impressive in his first day in Test cricket. He gets the length ball to swing away to comprehensively beat Labuschagne, who clips the next on the leg side for a single, only his second run from 42 balls faced so far.

Alex Carey drives the full delivery in the gap through the covers for three runs to get off the mark.

India will be hoping to pick up another wicket or two before stumps to further strengthen their hold on the match.

A big and swing from Carey as he looks to smash Siraj through the off-side but it goes past the outside edge.

The next ball is full as he gently drives to the fielder at mid-on and mistimes the pull shot last ball.

Bumrah back for another quick burst before stumps, as he resumes his battle against Labuschagne.

The first ball is up as Labuschagne defends followed by a leave as Bumrah goes wide.

He then defends the third ball off the backfoot followed by a leave and he keeps out the last two balls.

Australia are 42/5 in 20 overs with Labuschagne battling hard on 2 from 48 balls and Carey on three.
