26th over: India 134-6 (Nitish 20, Ashwin 1) That was the dream start for Australia, and with Pant surely goes any hope India have of making this match anything bordering on a contest. Smith really did make that catch look simple, despite ending up taking it in front of first slip. He moved so early and got into a perfect position to get both bucket hands safely around the fast moving ball.
Cummins opens from the River End and Nitish gets the scoreboard moving with a glance down to fine leg. There’s a little extra bounce for the Australian skipper, but both batters negotiate it safely to rotate the strike.
