Overs2.3
Score14 - 1

J Behrendorff to R Sharma, OUT! In the air... taken! Jason Behrendorff draws first blood and it is the huge wicket of the hitman. He tries to innovate, when it comes off, it is brilliant but when it does not, it is not a good sight. Rohit tries to play the paddle scoop. It goes off the toe-end and balloons towards short fine leg. Zampa there tracks back, he seems to lose balance for a second but then keeps it and takes it. Early wicket for Australia, just the start they would have wanted after electing to bowl first.

J Richardson to L Rahul, FOUR! This should give Rahul some confidence. He gets a ball on his pads, Indians love it there. He works it around the corner, short fine leg gives it a chase, dives but his effort goes in vain. First boundary of the game and Rahul is off the mark in style.
