In reply, Australia didn’t get off to the brightest of starts either. After knocking off only 11 runs from the opening two overs, Matthew Short took apart Arshdeep Singh before welcoming Varun Chakaravarthy with a six in the next over. But India’s decision to review a lbw call against Short in the next over worked big time as Axar struck gold in his first over. Even though Josh Inglis began with a spark, fetching two boundaries off Bumrah, he just couldn’t make it count and became Axar’s second victim of the evening when he got castled. Dube then came into the attack and used the slower delivery to good effect to send Mitchell Marsh back to the pavilion.
