Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja perished trying to score quick runs while Washington Sundar remained unbeaten until the end.
IND vs PM’s XI Scorecard
India win!
89.1 overs were bowled in the day and India have come out victorious. They would ideally liked a 2-day game to prepare for the Pink Ball Test but they'll take it.
Some positives are Shubman Gill returning and looking good. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja both inspiring confident and Nitish Reddy continuing to impress.
India's won the match but they'll carry on batting. Three overs remain and considering you don't often get to face the pink ball in first-class matches, Washington Sundar and Sarfaraz Khan will continue to bat.
Jadeja has fallen to part-timer Matthew Renshaw. His off-spin has done the trick. He invited Jadeja to hit him for a big one and Jadeja takes up the offer. The result doesn't go in the all-rounder's favour who's caught and bowled.
India should easily win the match. They were clinical with the ball and despite retiring out two batters, will win the match with a couple of overs to spare.
India need just 41 runs to win now. Washington and Jadeja have both been scoring quickly and India should win the match with score balls to spare.
Shubman Gill has retired after scoring an fifty. Fascinatingly, Nitish Reddy gets out on the very next ball and therefore two new batters are in the middle.
Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar to get some valuable batting practice late at night.
Just 62 balls it's taken Shubman Gill to hit an half-century. All the focus was on his finger but it looks like he's fit as a fiddle and ready for the pink ball Test in Adelaide.
The partnership between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shubman Gill has crossed 65 runs. They look in complete control with no one barring Scott Boland troubling them at all. Spinner Llyod Pope has been wayward and is getting aptly punished by both. Pope has always leaked 30 runs in 3 overs.
Rohit Sharma's stint at the crease lasts for a very short time as the Indian batter is sent packing for just 3 runs. The Indian skipper joined the side just before the warm-up game in Adelaide.
India opener KL Rahul has retired hurt after facing just 44 deliveries. The batter has walked back to the pavilion after scoring 27 runs
