Five Indian half-centuries in draw

Several of India's batsmen got decent workouts on the second and final day of the warm-up game, against Cricket Australia XI, in Adelaide. M Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Wriddhiman Saha and Karn Sharma all got fifties, as the team easily overtook CA XI's 219, ending on 8 for 363.

Vijay and Pujara, the not out batsmen overnight, retired soon after completing their fifties, before Kohli took over to top score in the innings. Ajinkya Rahane could not make use of a chance to spend time in the middle, lasting only four balls, but Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina did slightly better - Rohit batted out 46 balls for 23 before falling lbw, while Raina made a brisk 44 off 49.

Wicketkeeper Saha and legspinner Karn Sharma finished off a satisfying day of batting for India. Both were quite aggressive in their batting: Saha made 56 not out off 75 with five fours and a six, while Karn, batting at No. 10 hit 52 off 54.
