IND vs AUS: Marsh's ton propels Australia as India struggle

Shaun Marsh slammed a patient century to lift Australia while wickets kept falling at the other hand in the second ODI against India on Tuesday.

After 42 overs, Australia's score stands at 218 for the loss of five wickets with Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb at the crease.

Australia lost its third wicket in the form of Usman Khawaja, who was run-out by Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The fourth damage was caused after Peter Handscomb was dismissed by Dhoni off Jadeja only

Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami on Tuesday struck early to dismiss Australian openers Aaron Finch and Alex Carey respectively, not allowing them to cause much damage with the bat.

Bhuvneshwar drew the first blood for his side as he bowled skipper Finch for just 6 runs. In the next over of Shami, wicketkeeper-batsman Carey was sent back to the pavilion for 18 runs.

After 10 overs, Australia's score stands at 38 for the loss of two wickets.

Earlier, Finch won the toss and opted to bat first as India take on the hosts in a do-or-die second ODI, in their bid to keep the three-match series alive.

The Kohli-led team lost the first ODI by 34 runs despite a remarkable century and slow half-century by Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni respectively.
