Overview

• Dhruv Jurel won the toss and fielded for India A, leading in place of Shreyas Iyer, who withdrew for personal reasons.
• Prasidh Krishna struck early by removing Campbell Kellaway for nine before an 86-run stand from Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney steadied Australia A.
• Mohammed Siraj broke the partnership straight after lunch by getting Konstas caught behind for 49, with Australia A at 98 for 2 in the 31st over.
• Left-arm spinner Manav Suthar then took charge with a five-wicket haul, reducing the visitors to 214 for 6 before Jack Edwards countered with 88; Gurnoor Brar dismissed both Edwards and McSweeney.
• Pacers Siraj and Prasidh finished with one wicket each and proved expensive, while KL Rahul, Siraj and a fit-again Nitish Kumar Reddy featured for match practice, with Reddy sending down eight overs.
