January 03, 2025 08:37Ind 76-4 (36 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard
The Aussies keep piling on the pressure on the Indians as they bowl in that channel of uncertainty while Jadeja and Pant find it hard to rotate the strike.
Runs have dried up for India.
Boland continues and he keeps the length and line tight. Jadeja is beaten and then he lets the ball do through to the keeper.
Jadeja then leaves the next one too before tapping the next ball down to the leg side, before ending the over with a solid defence. That is the fourth maiden in a row.
Starc continues and Pant leaves the first ball alone and lets it go to the keeper.
Pant is then beaten on the outside edge before Starc gets one to bounce and Pant is hit on the bicep as he tries to defend. The physio is out to check on him.
Starc continues as Pant is ready to continue and the bowler starts over the wicket and Pant lets it go to the keeper.
Full ball next that Pant plays down before the batter shoulders the next ball bowled in the channel and bounces. Maiden over that.
Boland continues and after four dots, Smith puts down Jadeja at slips as the edge goes straight to the fielder who fails to latch on to the catch. Another dot to end the over. That is a maiden.
Cummins continues and comes around the wicket to Pant.
Pant plays three dots before he loses patience and comes down the track, goes hard at it and the ball nearly rolls on to the stumps as it is hit hard into the pitch. Pant survives.
Two more dots to end the over that is a maiden.
