White-hot Australia hammer India by 10 wickets in Mumbai

 Warner was 128 not out and Finch 110 not out as Australia scored 258 without loss in 37.4 overs in reply to India's 255 all out.

Fast bowler Mitchell Starc took 3-56 in only his second ODI on Indian soil as the host's middle order collapsed after a 121-run second-wicket partnership between Lokesh Rahul (47) and Shikhar Dhawan (74).

It was the fifth 10-wicket defeat for India in ODI cricket, and only the second at home.

Tearful David Warner apologises over ball tampering scandal

With tears rolling down his face, Warner apologised for his part in the cheating and vowed to earn the public's respect again.

He said he now understood that he needed to make changes in his life, and he would be seeking help with that.

An inquiry by Cricket Australia found that Warner came up with the plan to tamper with the ball and then instructed a junior player, Cameron Bancroft, in how he went about it.

Warner said he took full responsibility for his actions, but refused to answer questions about whether other players were involved.

Smith takes 'full responsibility'

Smith, who has been replaced as captain by Tim Paine and will not be considered for a leadership position for two years, was banned from international and domestic action for 12 months following a Cricket Australia (CA) investigation into the incident at Newlands.

Ball tampering: More repercussions likely - expert

Smith said that the team's "leadership group" had a plan, carried out by batsman Cameron Bancroft, to tamper with the ball to "get an advantage".

Smith will now miss the fourth and final Test of the series, and he has also been sacked from his lucrative position as captain of the Indian Premier League's Rajasthan Royals side.

Australian government agency, the Australian Sports Commission, is calling for the Smith to be immediately removed.

It's also calling for any other members of the team leadership group or coaches who knew about the scheme to also go.

Australian cricketers caught tampering with ball

However, he will not be stepping down as skipper.

Smith detailed an orchestrated effort from the team's "leadership group" to use sticky tape to pick up hard granules from the pitch and rub these against the ball to try to alter its condition and get it to swing.

Opening batsman Cameron Bancroft, the most junior member in the side, was the player tasked with implementing the plan and he has been charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which could lead to a one-match ban and a 100 percent fine of his match fee.
