58 overs- 258/3.
India have got the much-needed wicket of Warner who seemed dangerous but was eventually deceived by a Karn Sharma delivery. He scored 145 off 163 balls.
WICKET- KARN Sharma to Warner, OUT, runs down the track and he's holed out at deep midwicket. Karn looks up to the sky and in celebration of his wicket. Ishant Sharma comfortably takes the catch.

Just hours remain before the start of the India-Australia series. The first Test takes off in Adelaide a 5:30 am IST. Virat Kohli will be leading the Indian side in the absence of MS Dhoni. Michael Clarke is fit to play but the death of Phillip Hughes will cast a shadow over proceedings at least on Day 1.
For India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is injured, so India have to replace him with Mohammad Shami, Varun Aaron or Umesh Yadav. Ishant Sharma is likely to make the starting XI by default. India will be hoping to wash away the memories of the 0-4 whitewash last time around. You can read the full match preview of the Adelaide Test here
Moreover, India would wish to recall the memories of Adelaide 2003 through this slideshow. And lest we forget, it featured arguably the greatest performance by an Indian in Australia in a single Test. And here's an analysis of Rahul Dravid's performance that day.
But it has not always been smooth sailing for India in Adelaide. On the last tour in 2011-12, India put in a horror performance, losing the series 0-4 to Australia.
You will find a host of news updates, live scorecard, opinions, pictures, podcasts and videos on this page. This is dna's one stop destination for India's tour of Australia.
And here's how Twitter is reacting to the upcoming series:
But you can send in your thoughts about Day 1 of the match using the hashtag #IndiaDownUnder.
A number of players from both the Indian and Australian teams have already sounded the bugle going into this huge series.
Read: The intent will be aggressive, says Virat Kohli
Will not tone down the aggression, says Mitchell Johnson
Ricky Ponting feels Australia are under extraordinary pressure
Given Phillip Hughes' death, this kind of banter is refreshing. But while life goes on, it is important to learn some lessons. Here we talk about why extremely good protective gear as well as good techniques are essential to prevent such accidents.
Incidentally, Phillip Hughes has been named honorary 13th man for Australia.
A lot of stories related to the series came in on Monday. Here's a recap of what transpired yesterday.
