After 4 overs,Australia 14/3 ( Steven Smith 2 , Glenn Maxwell 1)
Another spinner introduced from the other end with Jadeja replacing Ashwin, and he finds himself among the wickets right away as he traps Finch leg-before with a delivery that straightens along off and middle, with the Australian skipper missing the line while looking to defend. Both Maxwell and Smith get off their marks with a single and a brace respectively. Three runs and a wicket from this over.
OUT! Jadeja strikes in his first delivery of the match, as Australian skipper Finch is trapped leg-before in front of off. Was looking to defend this, but got beaten by one that straightened along and struck him in front of off and middle. AUS 11/3

After 3 overs,Australia 11/2 ( Aaron Finch (C) 8 , Steven Smith 0)
Finch goes for an aerial drive down the ground in the third delivery of Bhuvneshwar’s second over, the seamer getting his fingers on the ball after his follow through but not quick enough to complete a reflex catch, allowing the ball to race all the way to the fence. The Aussie skipper keeps the scoreboard ticking with a single two balls later. Five from the over. Meanwhile, Steve Smith joins Finch at the centre.
After 2 overs,Australia 6/2 ( Aaron Finch (C) 3 , Steven Smith 0)
It’s spin from the other end as Ravichandran Ashwin gets the ball in hand. Starts off with a dot followed by a single off each of his next three deliveries. He then gets India the solid start they would have been hoping for by removing Warner and Mitchell Marsh off successive deliveries, and will be on a hat-trick at the start of his next over. India very much on top at the moment.
OUT! Two-in-two for Ravichandran Ashwin, as he removes birthday boy Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck! Rohit takes a fine catch at slip after the ball finds Marsh’s outside edge. AUS 6/2
Marsh c Rohit b Ashwin 0(1)
OUT! Another disappointing outing for Davey Warner as he’s trapped leg-before while trying to reverse sweep Ashwin towards the third man region. AUS 6/1
Warner LBW Ashwin 1(7)
After 1 overs,Australia 3/0 ( David Warner 0 , Aaron Finch (C) 1)
Bhuvneshwar starts off with a hattrick of dots, before bowling a wide down the leg side that allows David Warner to also get off the strike with a bye. Aaron Finch then collects the first run off the bat next ball with a single. Three from the first over.
David Warner and skipper Aaron Finch walk out to open, the former looking to come good today after a golden duck in the previous game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over.
