Mohammed Shami provided the first breakthrough when he sent Cooper Connolly (0) back to the pavilion without scoring a run. Travis Head did scare the Indian fans initially, but Varun Chakravarthy got him at 39. At a time when Marnus Labuschagne (29) was looking comfortable, Ravindra Jadeja sent him back as leg before the wicket. Steven Smith (73) and Alex Carey (61) built a partnership but Shami got rid of Smith. The Indian bowlers wrapped the Australian batting lineup at 264.
