A superb opening over by Mitchell Starc! Dishes out a full delivery, shaping in, on off and middle, Virat Kohli lunges forward and drives off the inner half towards Starc.

Serves it full and wide outside off, a hint of inswing, Virat Kohli lifts his bat and lets the ball go through to the keeper.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! An early success for Mitchell Starc and this is just the start Australia were after! A rash shot by Ishan Kishan and he departs for a golden duck. Starc pitches it up again, wide outside off, Ishan Kishan gets tempted by the width and throws his hands at the delivery. The ball swings away enough to catch the outside edge. Goes straight into the hands of Cameron Green at first slip who gobbles it. India lose an early wicket.

Leg bye! Full again and on the pads, Rohit Sharma gets beaten for pace again and wears it on the front pad. The ball rolls behind to the left of Alex Carey for a leg bye.

At 141.1 kph, on a yorker length, tailing in, on off, Rohit Sharma keeps it out without much fuss.

Goes full again and drifting on the pads, Rohit Sharma misses out on the clip again and gets pinged on the front pad. Mitchell Starc goes up in appeal but the ball was heading down leg.

WIDE! India are underway with a wide! Starts from over the wicket and bowls it full but swinging down leg. Rohit Sharma looks to help it away but misses. Wided.
