Ind 81-4 (40 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard



Only 5 runs have come off the last 8 overs and that shows how the Aussies have stifled Jadeja and Pant. 

The host bowlers have given next to nothing away while bowling in that channel for proper Test contest. 


Webster is back in the attack and he starts with a dot to Pant.

Pant lets the next one go before he edges the next fuller ball but it falls just short of Labuschagne at slips.

The ball then angles into Pant and the ball hits Pant on his pads and a stifled shout for LBW.

Two dots to end the over and that is another maiden. 





Starc continues and Jadeja just lets the first three balls go to the keeper. 

Jadeja then just safely plays out a maiden over. 




Boland continues around the wicket to Jadeja and after two dots he has the batter all squared up as he bowls in that off stump channel. Jadeja is beaten.

Jadeja then takes a single to mid-wicket.

The ball then nips back and hits Pant smack in the mid riff. 

And again! Just one comes off the over. 




Starc continues and after a dot, the ball takes off and hits Pant smack into his grille. Starc comes across to check on his well being. India's physio is called into action for a mandatory concussion test. 

Both teams take a drinks break in the meantime. 

Pant is ready to continues and plays a dot before the full ball is clipped past mid-wicket for a couple.

A dot later, a full ball on the off side is driven through covers for another couple as 4 come off the over.
