Peter Forrest scores 66 in 83 balls on ODI debut as Australia build towards a big score after electing to bat against India in their tri-series ODI cricket match in Adelaide on Sunday.

The hosts reached 4 for 181 after 36 overs when report last came in.

Upon winning the toss, Australian captain Michael Clarke had no hesitation batting first for the third time in as many matches this series, but Ponting and Warner made a sluggish start against Zaheer Khan and Vinay Kumar.
