00:00Down the pitch, down the ground, four, first boundary off the bat of Rohit Sharma, who else?
00:15Well, that's a little bit of a hack, very unlike Rohit Sharma, but he'll take it, and more intent from the Indian captain, very clear message.
00:24Oh, he's belted that, the first one didn't carry to the man in the deep, this has carried all the way into the crowd.
00:35In the air, gone, straight to mid on, first wicket for Australia and Straat Stark, a massive moment, Shipman Gill goes.
00:44Oh, again, not all that shot, but doesn't get the elevation, Australia strike.
00:57Up, floaty, put in the slot, and put in to the crowd from Rohit Sharma.
01:06Short ball, oh, nailed, nailed, don't run, Virat Kohli, that is four, sweet.
01:11Sweet.
01:13He cut shot for four.
01:16That's high, that's so high, and it's so far back.
01:22That is just exquisite use of the feet.
01:25Doesn't make any kind of mistake.
01:28A miss-up, finally a miss-up, could this be a moment?
01:31Good, one of the great catches, under pressure, you will never see.
01:36My goodness gracious me.
01:38Comes down the wicket and tries to play the odds.
01:43See how much ground Travis Head covered, that is a wonderful catch.
01:50Travis Head then Rohit Sharma, that was a tremendous catch under pressure.
01:55Pitch continues to be good for batting.
01:56Another four picked up by an Indian batter, 80 for two.
02:05Goal touch there, yes there is, yes there is Australia on fire here.
02:10They've got three in the first eleven overs, India are reeling a wee bit.
02:14Maybe not, just played inside the line, sitting back in the crease.
02:22Another batter in forms gone.
02:25Such a drift for Zampa.
02:34And they keep it to a single more good outfielding from the Australians.
02:40By time you.
02:44Cut away back with a point.
02:453-20 at the point.
02:54But I think both sides are aware of how this game is being played.
02:57I think Australia are aware.
02:59Even taking five runs and over.
03:01In singles, they should be looking to do at least five runs in singles.
03:05This over is three runs only.
03:08The halfway point in the innings.
03:12Goalie gets to 50.
03:14And the stadium finds its voice.
03:17Looking at almost 90.
03:19Oh, he's gone here.
03:20Inside edge.
03:22Back onto the stumps.
03:24And this is a massive blow.
03:28Goes for a single.
03:30And he'll make it.
03:31And a huge draw.
03:33Okay, Raoul gets to a 50.
03:39This time there seems to be an obvious Nick.
03:42Charity Jens walking back.
03:47There's the boundary.
03:49That we were anticipating.
03:52Oh, good ball.
03:53Good ball.
03:55Finger will go up.
03:58Oh, went for the big one.
03:59Went for the big one.
04:00Got the edge.
04:04Oh, that could be close.
04:06The finger will go up.
04:09Oh, that should be taken.
04:13That should be taken.
04:14And that's the last flicker of hope.
04:20We will have a boundary.
04:23Let's wait and see.
04:24Here it goes.
04:26High in the air.
04:27Will fall short.
04:29They want to come back for a second.
04:30They have no choice.
04:31They've got to keep going.
04:32Run out at the non-striker's end.
04:33One of the longest run outs.
04:34But they had to go for it.
04:35And India will finish with 240.
04:39They will be happy with their afternoon's work.
04:43The first 10 overs in which India made 80.
04:45And the rest in which India struggled in spite of that partnership.
04:48It was explosive.
