It started with a duel between Starc and Kohli in the fifth over of the innings. The Aussie left-armer had never gotten the better of Kohli in ODIs, but on Friday, he looked to dominate the proceedings as he troubled the India No.3 before dismissing him.

He got two deliveries to swing into the batter, let the third one go straight, all of which were length deliveries, before dishing out the fuller one around middle. The delivery curled in late. Kohli, who looked to play a flick on the leg side, got hit on his pad first. He did not review and walked away straight towards the dug out having scored just four runs off nine balls.

In the very next ball, Starc went with another inswinger that nipped in from length. Suryakumar got stuck in the crease as the ball beat the inside edge and struck the pads in line with the middle stump. He immediately went for the review, but there was no respite.

In the first innings, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj starred for India as they picked three wickets each to fold Australia for just 188 runs where opener Mitchell Marsh scored a valiant 81 off 65.
