Head skies Chakravarthy to Gill
Varun Chakravarthy with an immediate breakthrough!
He comes round the wicket to Travis Head, who skews the ball into the air as he tries to smack another boundary and is caught by Shubman Gill running round to long-off.
Rohit Sharma will be very happy with that bowling change.

It's been a good comeback from Kuldeep after they hit that six.
That Travis Head six aside, it's a tight over from Kuldeep Yadav. He's really cramping the Australia opener for room and beats his bat a couple of times.
Varun Chakravarthy, who took a five-for against New Zealand on Sunday, comes into the attack for India.

Terrific shot that from Travis Head, beautiful timing.
Travis Head really is flying. He takes Kuldeep Yadav straight down the ground for six, holding the pose as the ball disappears over the horizon. 98m apparently.

Australia don't really panic too much, always look self assured and just turn up and do their job.
Yep, Aatif, it has been profitable, with 11 runs coming from it.
Australia are doing well to pick the gaps in India's field, with both Steve Smith and Travis Head rewarded with boundaries in vacant areas.
Head has raced to 33 (26). Remember, he was dropped on 0 in the first over.

Another profitable over from Australia.
Steve Smith picks up his first boundary. He pulls a shorter delivery from Hardik Pandya towards deep square and while he doesn't middle it, there are no fielders anywhere near the ball and it trickles into the rope.
Oooh Hardik Pandya's back. He's changed ends.
Aatif Nawaz
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Quite remarkably, Australia are going at a run a ball now.
When Hardik Pandya is bowling, each over takes an age. He's so leisurely walking back to his mark.
Kuldeep Yadav, by contrast, races through his first six balls.
Australia rotate the strike and pick up five singles.

It's very intriguing that they are giving the ball to Kuldeep Yadav this early today.

Travis Head is crucial when Australia play white-ball cricket.
It's time for some spin.
Kuldeep Yadav replaces Hardik Pandya in the bowling attack.

Is it wrong of me to want neither team to win this one?

Travis Head is seeing the ball a bit better now.
Head hits three fours in a row
After a nervy first three overs, Australia are beginning to purr into life.
Travis Head reads a wide delivery outside his off stump and guides the ball through the covers for four.
Then he's handed a lifeline, narrowly avoiding chopping onto his stumps and the ball runs away to the ropes. Luck is on his side today.
And he picks up four more into the offside. Three boundaries in a row.

Jadeja is not a player that you want to take a chance with.
