"12th over: India 37-2 (Rohit 23, Shreyas 4) Australia blow their second and final review with an appeal for caught behind. Rohit plays the ball away from his body and there is a noise. But it was the ball flicking a back pocket. Hazlewood cannons the ball into Rohit's pads with plenty of movement off the seam. It looks to be bouncing over but it's enough to suggest it's a matter of when, not if, Hazlewood traps Rohit."
"14th over: India 46-2 (Rohit 25, Shreyas 11) Marsh keeps Hazlewood on for a seventh over in a call-back to an earlier era of ODIs when that was the norm for pace bowlers. Shreyas Iyer caresses a drive off the back foot to the boundary for probably the classiest shot so far today. Hazlewood has now gone for 22 runs as the players head to a well-deserved drinks break."
India are 56-2 after 16 overs with Rohit on 26 and Shreyas on 19 as the pair steadily rebuild the innings. Josh Hazlewood has bowled extended spells, going for 22 runs by the 14th over and was kept on for a seventh over. Australia lost their second and final review when a faint noise proved to be the ball flicking a back pocket rather than a caught behind. Hazlewood struck Rohit on the pads and created an LBW chance that looked marginal. Shreyas produced a classy back-foot drive and singles have kept the scoreboard moving. Mitchell Starc toiled without consistently troubling the batters.
