Aus 96-9 (43 ovs) vs India 150 | Scorecard

Starc watchful against Starc as he keeps out the first three balls before taking a single to midwicket.

Hazlewood plays a nice drive through the covers but Starc doesn't bother running, they could have picked two if they had run through before he keeps out the last ball.

Nitish Reddy will bowl for the first time in Test cricket. This will be some relief for Australia, having played out a fiery spell from Bumrah and Rana.

The first ball is back of length but wide of the stumps as Starc leaves before he blocks the next.

Short and wide from Reddy but Starc fails to connect with the cut shot before he pulls the pacer without proper timing for a single to deep midwicket and Hazlewood keeps out the last ball.

Starc has shown great application. He has managed his partnership quite well with lastman Hazlewood, farming most of the strike while keeping the runs coming in singles.

Play and miss from Starc as Siraj angles the length ball away from him. He is then struck on the back as he ducks under the bouncer which doesn't get up as much as expected.

The last ball is again a bouncer as Starc easily ducks under.

Starc with 21 is Australia's highest run getter in this innings along with Carey to make an important contribution.
