It was a slow-moving session where India lost Virat Kohli early, and were made to work hard for their runs by a relentless Australia bowling line-up. Pant took multiple blows to his body and helmet, to be not out on 32 off 80 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jadeja has also been watchful at the other end to be 11 not out off 50 balls, and was given a reprieve on three when Steve Smith dropped his catch at slip. The post-lunch session began on a bad note for India as Scott Boland got to seam away sharply Kohli jabbed at the delivery on a fifth-sixth stump line to give a catch to debutant Beau Webster in the slips and fall for 17 off 69 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Starc also turned up his pace and left Pant with a bruise on his bicep, as well as hitting him on the helmet, leaving the left-handed batter circumspect. Starc\u2019s pace was too hot to handle for Jadeja as he looked to duck his rapid bouncers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After cutting Starc past backward point for four, Pant danced down the pitch to smack Webster over the sightscreen for six, despite taking in a blow to his body again. Jadeja got his first boundary of the match by driving Lyon past non-striker for four, before being dropped by the off-spinner at five against Webster. Pant rocked back to cut Lyon in the gap between backward point and cover point to end a slow scoring session for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
