Ind 106-0 (43 ovs) & 150 vs Aus 104 | Scorecard

Starc back into the attack. He nearly makes the breakthrough as Jaiswal, on 51, trying to drive gets the edge but Usman Khawaja puts down a sharp chance at first slip.

Khwaja was unable to get his fingers down in time to miss out on a possible opportunity.

India have another close in the next over. Jaiswal pushes Lyon on the off-side as Rahul is rushing for the single and is sent back. Smith's throw to the bowler is poor, a long way away from the stumps.

India's lead has gone above the 150-run mark.

Starc gets the ball to swing into Jaiswal, who misses the flick but the leg before shout doesn't interest the umpire.

He clips the last ball off his pads for a single to retain strike.

India have scored just 32 runs in 17 overs since the tea break as Australia have managed to retain some control.
