Cummins wins the toss, and sends India in.

It would be called a bold decision, whatever he had said...

Both teams unchanged, not too surprising.

India to bat first. That's good. Dew is a hugr factor but there are other advantages of this lineup batting first.

[meninblue]

3 runs in 1st over.

[Red Devil]

Calendar cleared for the day and settled in with the boys - chak de India

Feels like bowling first was a big call - batting first would be the normal call I think

Aus have started well in the field - could easily have been 12 already but it's only 5

4 . Agression shown by Talent. Comes down and hits a boundary.

[meninblue]

4 next ball too Talent hitting well.

[meninblue]

18/0 in 3 overs.

[meninblue]

6er Talent moves to 21.

[meninblue]

4 next ball. Moves out of crease and hits 4 down the wicket.

[meninblue]

Shubman gets out to a shot which he scores many runs of.

30/1.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like a good crowd in.

As a batsman there are somethings which Rohit can do and Virat cannot and somethings which Virat can do but Rohit cannot. These are two best batsmen in this team. Should look to post a 150+ runs partnership.

Rohit should look to play a huge knock and dominate bowlers(not a wicket where Rohit can score 264 on his own but certainly he can make 150 easily on his day) which Virat cant whereas Virat should look to score a decent 100.

If both play to even 75 percent of their potential this will be an outstanding partnership in itself.

Introducing Maxwell should release all the pressure.

[Red Devil]

Introducing Maxwell should release all the pressure.

Aus are counting on the ball turning so I wasn't surprised to see him, and he's bowled really well recently. Pitch looks ok though

[meninblue]

Sixer Comes down and tonks Max for a six.
