Scores, results, news updates and how to watch second ODI in Adelaide
Hello and welcome to our second ODI between Australia and India at the sold-out Adelaide Oval.
The opening game in Perth on Sunday was a damp affair; Australia won easily after Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc stormed through the top order of the touring squad.
With Pat Cummins still yet to start bowling following a back injury, all eyes will be on Hazlewood and Starc, the two clear leaders of the attack in this series and beyond the Ashes.
Another player with an intriguing story today is Matt Renshaw, who has been favored by many of the sound judges this week as the best option to open the batting against Usman Khawaja against England. He will feature in the middle order at Adelaide Oval and has come a long way in terms of mentality since making his Tests debut as a 20-year-old.

“A lot of times you try to force a few things, you see someone else running and you say: ‘I should run because then I’ll get selected for Australia, then I’ll be a good person,'” he said.
“This whole mentality when you’re young is that this is how you see yourself as a person.
“I get home now and I have to change nappies, I have to put the kids to bed, I have to try to calm screaming babies.
“When you’re young, you go home and have nothing to do, so you just sit on your phone and spend time.
“I’m hiding. I don’t have the Cricket Australia app, I don’t try to look at any news, I hide all the cricket stuff on Instagram so I can’t see it.”
