Virat, who also lost his wicket to Nathan Ellis, managed to add a few runs to the total.
Given the low number of runs on the scoreboard and the rapid loss of wickets, the Indian batting order was in serious trouble.

Mitchell Starc took a haul of five wickets as Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis also took three and two wickets.
