Wicket! Kohli lbw b Bartlett 9 – India 17-2
Two in the over, and Kohli is gone for a duck! He’s trapped in front as the ball nipped in and the finger goes up!
After a lengthy chat he does not review. That was plumb and India are in deep trouble already.
Wicket! Gill c Marsh b Bartlett 9 – India 17-1
Breakthrough! And it is such a cheap wicket for Gill to give away!
He comes forward to drive a half-volley from Bartlett but it is straight to Marsh at mid-off who dives forward and holds onto the catch! Australia have a deserved wicket.
India 17-0 (6 overs) – Rohit 8, Gill 9
There is absolutely no way Rohit hit that ball. Anyway, another good over from Hazlewood, who has Rohit on the ropes here.
Not out
It did look close, but there is a spike on UltraEdge. Australia lose an early review. It is strange as Rohit looked nowhere near the ball.
Australia review for lbw
Unsurprisingly, Hazlewood continues. Gill finally adds a blemish to his figures, driving into the gap, but Marsh chases it down to save a run.
Another big appeal, and this one looks closer. Given not out, but Australia review.
India 14-0 (5 overs) – Rohit 8, Gill 6
Umpire’s call on impact and wickets in the end. Early change for Australia as Xavier Bartlett comes on, and Rohit charges him second ball but misses completely.
Rohit is getting frustrated here, on six of 23 balls. He gets two to end the over though.
India 11-0 (4 overs) – Rohit 6, Gill 5
This is good from Hazlewood, who is really testing Rohit as another one nips inside and strikes him on the thigh pad.
Big appeal for lbw on the final ball, but it looks too high, and could have been outside the line. Back-to-back maidens for Hazlewood.
India 11-0 (3 overs) – Rohit 6, Gill 5
Decent amount and carry on this pitch so far, but that should die down after a few overs. Gill tries to cut through point but there is some excellent fielding from cover who hits the non-strikers end with a direct hit! This looks close.
Rohit just got back in time but that was outstanding fielding from Mitchell Owen at cover.
Gill makes amends next ball, driving through extra cover for the first boundary of the match.
And now Rohit gets in on the action, flicking for four as Starc goes too straight.
India 1-0 (2 overs) – Rohit 1, Gill 0
Hazlewood from the other end as expected. His second ball nips in, but Rohit leaves as it sails over the stumps.
Cautious start from Rohit as he sizes up Hazlewood on what looks like a good surface. Maiden over.
India 1-0 (1 over) – Rohit 1, Gill 0
Not much swing on offer initially for Starc, though it looks like he has started cross-seam. Starc is staying outside off, before finally bringing out the inswinger on the fifth ball, which Rohit plays for a single to square leg.
Solid opening over from Starc.
Match underway!
Here come the Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, followed by the Australian fielders as a sunny Adelaide Oval awaits. The ground is half-full already for this fixture.
Rohit will face first ball, while Starc will take the new ball from one end, having opted for a last-minute change of footwear.
Here comes the first ball! Play and miss for Rohit outside off.
Can Australia wrap up series to continue Ashes preparation?
While there is no doubt a lot at stake in this series between two cricketing titans, you would imagine the Aussies have one eye on the Ashes in less than a month’s time.
Several players today will be hoping to feature in the first Test in Perth, including veteran seamers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, who might have extra responsibility to shoulder as captain Pat Cummins looks increasingly likely to miss out through injury.
Hazlewood especially looked in good form in the first ODI. Can he and his teammates keep their performances up as the Australian summer gathers pace?

Full teams
Australia: 1 Mitchell Marsh (c), 2 Travis Head, 3 Matthew Short, 4 Matthew Renshaw, 4 Alex Carey (wk), 6 Cooper Connolly, 7 Mitchell Owen, 8 Xavier Bartlett, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Josh Hazlewood.
India: 1 Shubman Gill (c), 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 Axar Patel, 6 KL Rahul (wk), 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Nitish Kumar Reddy, 9 Harshit Rana, 10 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Mohammed Siraj.
Australia win toss and will bowl first
News from the middle, and Australia have won the toss. Mitch Marsh elects to bowl and make three changes.
Alex Carey returns from injury to keep wicket and spinner Adam Zampa returns from paternity leave. Josh Philippe and Matthew Kuhnemann miss out. Xavier Bartlett replaces Nathan Ellis, who is rested.
India are unchanged from the first ODI, resisting the temptation to rotate their bowling attack despite some strong options. Shubman Gill says he would have bowled too.
What happened last time out?
Rain dominated much of the early stages of the first ODI in Perth, but we still had enough match action for a result.
The showers stifled India’s batting innings of any rhythm as they were put under pressure by Australia’s fearsome pace battery, and trudged their way to 136 for nine from 26 overs.
Australia chased the target down with nearly five overs to spare, as captain Mitchell Marsh shepherded his team with an unbeaten 46.
Weather watch: cool, but dry day in Adelaide
You will all be relieved to hear that the rain that troubled the first ODI has stayed well away today and been replaced by sunny skies, with the few clouds present set to clear up later this afternoon.
However, it is markedly cooler than you would expect, with highs of 20 degrees Celsius. How that will impact the toss is yet to be seen but Adelaide tends to be a batters paradise with its short square boundaries.
