India vs Australia Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 48.2 IND: 250/10

Now then 251 is the target! Not going to be an easy chase this for the Australians. The wicket is on the slower side and there is turn for the spinners. The visitors will have to bat really well here. Will India go 2-0 up or will the visitors level the series? Join us in a while to find out.

For Australia, Pat Cummins was the pick of the bowlers. He was given the responsibility of bowling with the new ball. Did well and then was also excellent at the death. Lyon was economical. Zampa was poor initially but pulled things back well in the end. Nathan Coulter-Nile though had a day to forget as he was wayward and expensive.

Zampa then got rid of Dhoni and Jadhav in the very same over. The Australia bowlers then managed to pull things back but India still had Kohli at one end. He went onto to score a brilliant ton. Jadeja played the perfect foil to him and the two added yet another handy stand. However, when the time came to accelerate, the latter perished. Kohli too followed him and then the tail failed to contribute much. From 238 for 6 in the 46th over, the hosts have been bundled out for 250.

A decent bowling effort from the Australian side. They will be happy with where they are at the moment but India too won't be very disappointed. However, they would feel they could have done better after Vijay Shankar and Virat Kohli's 81-run stand. They joined association after the Australians got rid of Rayudu, Dhawan and Rohit pretty quickly. The Indians were in a spot of bother at 75 for three but then Shankar and Kohli played themselves in. The former, once he got his eye in, started to accelerate. He looked really good out there and when he was batting, India looked well on course for 280. However, he fell in a very unfortunate manner and that changed the course of the game.

48.2 W

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Jasprit Bumrah. OUT!!! Bowled. Full length delivery around off, Bumrah looks to hit it on the off side but gets a thick inside edge and the ball hits the middle pole. Bumrah goes for a duck. INDIA ALL OUT FOR 250.

48.1 1

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Mohammed Shami. Shorter delivery on off, Shami pulls it away for a single.

Nathan Coulter-Nile back into the attack.

End of Over : 48 1 Runs IND: 249/9
47.6 0

Pat Cummins to Jasprit Bumrah. A dot to end! Just a run and two wickets from the 48th over. On the stumps, it is blocked.

Jasprit Bumrah walks out at number 11 for India.

47.5 W

Pat Cummins to Kuldeep Yadav. OUT! TIMBER! Four-fer for Cummins! The slower one has done in Kuldeep completely. It is on the leg stump, Yadav shuffles way too across and tries to flick but is quite early into the stroke. He misses and the ball hits the stumps behind.

47.4 1

Pat Cummins to Mohammed Shami. On the pads, the batter works it down to fine leg for a run.

47.3 0

Pat Cummins to Mohammed Shami. On the slower side outside off, Shami plays it nicely with an angled bat but hits it too close to the keeper. He takes it on the bounce.

Pat Cummins to Mohammed Shami. On a length and around off, Shami blocks it out.

Mohammed Shami replaces his skipper out in the middle.

47.1 W

Pat Cummins to Virat Kohli. OUT! Straight to the fielder! The best bowler for Australia today, gets the best batsman for India. Kohli can't believe it as he stands there, looks down and then turns and starts walking back. He returns dejected but to a standing ovation by the crowd here and he deserves it. Another brilliant innings from him. He falls prey to the short ball which he pulls nicely but does not get the desired distance. Stoinis at deep square leg takes a good sliding catch. Cummins gets his third and that too at the right time. Australia will now hope to keep India under 265.

End of Over : 47 9 Runs IND: 248/7
46.6 2

Adam Zampa to Kuldeep Yadav. Good running. Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Yadav sweeps it wide of square leg and looks for two straight away. They get that easily as the throw is a poor one from the fielder.

Kuldeep Yadav is the new man in.

45.5 W

Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja. OUT! Jadeja perishes in the attempt to up the ante! However, he has played a good supporting role here. So the dropped catch has not cost a lot. Cummins bowls the slower one and on off. The idea of the shot was not wrong as Jadeja looked to go over mid off. He got it off the bottom though. It lobs towards mid off and Khawaja there takes it after taking a few steps back. A handy 67-run stand for India comes to an end.

44.6 0

Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja. Gives it a lot of air and bowls it around leg, it is the googly. Jadeja looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the pads. Two dots to end an excellent over by Zampa. Could have easily had a wicket.

Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja. DROPPED! That should have been taken! A little short and on middle, Jadeja goes back and pulls it. It is not off the middle and it is to the right of Stoinis at deep mid-wicket. He runs to his right and gets two hands to it but fails to hang on. The batsmen take two. How costly will this prove? Had he taken this, Australia would have been into the bowlers then.

44.1 1

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli. Flatter and on the pads, it is flicked through mid-wicket for a run.

Adam Zampa is back now.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to Virat Kohli. FOUR! Gets to his ton in style! Century no. 40. Magnificent ton this is from the Indian skipper. An innings of a lot of character and determination. A ton on wicket which has played a lot of tricks. Leading from the front is the skipper. He gets there with a cut shot. It races to the point fence. Takes his helmet off and soaks in the applause. He knows he needs to be there till the end. Also, now that he has got to his milestone, you might just see him up the ante.

End of Over : 43 5 Runs IND: 221/6

39.3 1

Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja. On the shorter side and outside off, Jadeja guides it down to third man for a run.

39.2 1

Pat Cummins to Virat Kohli. Direct hit needed... but missed! Kohli was way short there. Length ball and around off, VK taps it towards point and wants a run. He is off, but Jadeja is not interested. Kohli though is a long way down. He tries and turns to get in but that does not seem possible. To his luck though, Maxwell misses his shy at the striker's end. The fielder backing up is too deep and an overthrow is taken. Lucky reprieve there and Australia will feel, this is the chance they needed to take. This could be the difference between a 240 and a 280...

39.1 0

Pat Cummins to Virat Kohli. Angles it into the pads, Kohli works it towards mid-wicket.

End of Over : 39 5 Runs IND: 201/6

End of Over : 38 6 Runs IND: 196/6

37.4 1

Pat Cummins to Virat Kohli. Outside off, this time Virat quietly nudges it towards third man for a run.

33.5 1

Nathan Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja. Short and outside off, cut through point for a run.

33.4 0

Nathan Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja. SAFE! Just by an inch! Beautiful bowling from Lyon in the first place. Tossed up outside off, Jadeja came forward to defend but then the ball spun away and bounced. Jaddu missed while lunging and in that process, his back foot was lifted in the air. Alex Carey did collect but to the naked eye it seemed like he took just that extra second to take the bails off. Replays show that the back foot landed on the line, then skid back in by just a fraction. Yes. JUST a fraction, before Carey could try and make a stumping.

STUMPING APPEAL! Not much celebrations from the Aussies. Did Jadeja get his back foot back in time? Referred upstairs...

33.3 0

Nathan Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja. Full and around off, watchfully defended.

33.2 1

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. Goes back and plays it with the turn towards short fine leg for a single.

33.1 2

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. Full and around off, writes through square leg for a comfortable couple. Both these batsmen are quick between the wickets. Replays show that Kohli took the second run by running right in the middle of the pitch. Right in the middle.

End of Over : 33 4 Runs IND: 171/6
32.6 0

Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja. Outside off, left alone. 4 runs and two wickets from the over. Is this the over which changes the momentum in Australia's favor?

32.5 0

Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja. Just short! Zampa has started to find the right line and length here. Bowls the googly around off, it pitches and turns. Jadeja lunges and tries to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and falls just short of first slip. The key there was he played that with soft hands.

32.4 0

Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja. NO hat-trick as it is safely negotiated. Flatter and on middle, Jadeja goes back and works it to short fine leg.

Ravindra Jadeja walks in at number 8, replacing Dhoni, to face the hat-trick ball.

32.3 W

Adam Zampa to MS Dhoni. OUT! Two-in-two for Zampa and the two batsmen who steered India home in the last game, are dismissed. Excellent captaincy as Finch brought in the slip fielder for the new batsman but you can also question the shot here. Zampa bowls it flatter and outside off, it pitches and turns away a little. Dhoni looks to guide it towards third man but there is not a lot of width on offer. The ball takes the outside edge and flies towards Khawaja at first slip. He too takes a sharp catch to his right. Australia now into the bowling all-rounders. Zampa is on a hat-trick.

MS Dhoni comes out now, at number 7, to a deafening roar.

32.2 W

Adam Zampa to Kedar Jadhav. OUT! Zampa strikes! Australia have two in quick succession and India now have half their side back in the hut. The hero of the last game, fails to make an impact here. Adam floats it up outside off, once again it is very full. That though plays in the advantage of the bowler as the batsman looks to go over covers. He fails to get underneath the ball and hence, does not get the desired elevation. Ends up hitting it flat and hard towards cover where Finch takes a sharp catch. Australia crawling their way back into the game and a much-needed wicket for Zampa as this should give him confidence now.

32.1 4

Adam Zampa to Kedar Jadhav. FOUR! Inside edge and a boundary! This is outside off, Jadhav looks to sweep but it takes the inside edge, goes between the legs of the keeper and into the third man fence.

End of Over : 32 1 Runs IND: 167/4
31.6 0

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. A dot to end! Just a run from this one as Kohli defends it off the back foot.

31.5 0

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. This is bowled at 97 kph and it is outside off. Kohli looks to guide it past short third man who is finer and hence it is straight to him.

31.4 1

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. The straighter one on middle, Jadhav plays inside the line, it goes off the outside edge towards point for a run.

31.3 0

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. Once again plays it with the turn but to the man at mid-wicket.

31.2 0

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. Flicks it with the turn but finds the man at square leg.

30.1 0

End of Over : 30 5 Runs IND: 161/4
29.6 0

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. Short again, this is pulled straight to square leg.

29.5 0

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. Around off, short in length, Kohli looks to cut but the ball stays low and takes the under edge towards point.

29.4 3

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. Excellent fielding effort from Peter Handscomb. Short and outside off, Kedar cuts it behind point. The ball rolls away to the fence but Handscomb races to his left and dives full stretch, landing awkwardly on his left shoulder. He manages to save the boundary but clutches his left shoulder in pain. Hope he is okay. Three runs taken.

29.3 0

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. Landed outside off, spinning in, watchfully defended.

29.2 1

Nathan Lyon to Virat Kohli. Action replay of the previous delivery, sans the striker.

29.1 1

Nathan Lyon to Kedar Jadhav. Around middle, Jadhav works it through square leg for a single.

End of Over : 29 9 Runs IND: 156/4
28.6 0

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli. On off, kept out. End of an action-packed over, 9 runs but more importantly a wicket from it.

Kedar Jadhav comes in at number 6, replacing Shankar.

28.5 W

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli. OUT! Yes, the ball has flicked the fingertips and Shankar is short of his crease. He walks back in disappointment and disgust. He was playing so well out there, so fluent and his innings ends in a very unfortunate manner. Australia though will be relieved as this partnership was taking the game away from them. Zampa tosses this up, once again it is very full. Kohli smashes it towards the bowler who sticks his hand out to the right. The ball then goes onto hit the stumps. Shankar in the meantime looks to get back in with a dive. The Australians appeal and it is a very confident one. The umpire takes it upstairs and after the replays, OUT flashes on the giant screen. The 81-run stand has been ended but it has provided the much-needed impetus to the Indian innings. However, Australia will now look to pull things back a little.

Is that the end of Shankar's innings? It would be a very unfortunate way if it is. The umpire has gone upstairs to check. First, whether the bowler has touched the ball, second, if Shankar has made it in.

28.4 4

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli. FOUR! Too full and it has been put away! Gives it a little more air but lands it very full. Kohli leans into it and strokes it through covers. It is away from the sweeper and a boundary.

28.3 0

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli. Shortish and outside off, Kohli guides it to point.

28.2 1

Adam Zampa to Vijay Shankar. Hits it well again, uppishly but well short of the man at long off. A run.

28.1 4

Adam Zampa to Vijay Shankar. FOUR! Straight as an arrow! He is playing a gem here. This is tossed up on middle, Shankar lunges forward and then hits it over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Adam Zampa is back on now.

End of Over : 28 6 Runs IND: 147/3

End of Over : 27 14 Runs IND: 141/3
26.6 6

Marcus Stoinis to Vijay Shankar. SIX! A biggie to end the over! 14 from it! An expensive first by Stoinis! Another short delivery, too easy at his pace. Shankar stands tall and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence. He is into the 40s now.

26.5 2

Marcus Stoinis to Vijay Shankar. Carey does well there! This is on the pads, Shankar looks to flick but it brushes his pads and goes to the left of the keeper. He dives and gets a hand to it. Takes the pace off the ball, the fielder from fine leg does the mopping up job and two have been taken. Leg byes signaled!

26.4 4

Marcus Stoinis to Vijay Shankar. FOUR! What a shot! Best shot so far played by Shankar! Slightly short and on middle, Shankar goes back quickly and then lifts it over mid-wicket. No one in the deep so a boundary.

26.3 1

Marcus Stoinis to Virat Kohli. Waits for it and then runs it down to third man for a run.

26.2 0

Marcus Stoinis to Virat Kohli. Kohli uses his feet but Stoinis bowls it short. VK still goes for the pull but mistimes it to mid-wicket.

Nathan Lyon to Ambati Rayudu. OUT! No bat there, it has pitched in line and it is crashing into the middle stump. A waste of a review to be honest by Rayudu as that looked out to the naked eye. He has to walk back and he takes India's only review along with him. Another bidding partnership comes to an end and Lyon makes an impact straightaway. Strikes off his last ball of his first over. Nothing great about the delivery though. It pitches around the leg pole and goes on with the angle. Rayudu plays all around it. He misses and the ball hits him above the knee role on the back pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Ambati looks at his skipper at the other end and then signals the 'T'. Replays show that the on-field call is the right one. India in a spot of bother here.

India review now! Rayudu is given out LBW. He has reviewed. Is there an inside edge or has that pitched outside the leg stump?

Pat Cummins to Ambati Rayudu. Oops.... that is a hoick. Rayudu comes down the track and has a wild swing but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Gets a thick inside edge onto his pads which rolls away to the off side. That is a very, very rash shot. Kohli will not be happy seeing that. Cummins has a word with Rayudu, followed by a smile. A maiden for Cummins, 10/1 in the last 4 overs!

Glenn Maxwell to Shikhar Dhawan. OUT! Three reds and Dhawan has to take the long walk back! What a review by Australia and Maxwell has struck gold here. He is absolutely elated. The offie has cut short the partnership which was looking very good and also brought the downfall of Dhawan who was timing the ball really well. Maxwell does what he has been doing till now. Fires it in on middle, Dhawan goes back to whip, he though misses and is hit on the front pad. An appeal follows, a loud one from the bowler but the umpire shakes his head. Maxwell convinces his skipper to go for the review and Finch does so. Replays roll in and they show no inside edge. Hawk Eye shows the on-field call has to be overturned. Both the openers back in the hut within Powerplay 1 here.

Review time! A huge shout for an LBW has not been given. Maxwell is pretty confident and he wants it to be reviewed. Finch does so, Dhawan is the man in question. Looks close though.

Pat Cummins to Rohit Sharma. OUT! In the air... taken! Cummins' excellent first over ends with a wicket. However, this was probably the worst ball he bowled in this over. He won't care though as Australia strike early. This one is short and wide outside off, Rohit senses an opportunity to get off the mark, so he goes for the cut shot. There is extra bounce though on that one and hence, Rohit can't get on top of it. He gets a top edge which flies down to third man. Zampa there takes a few steps in and accepts it. Sharma walks back without troubling the scorers and it is the ideal start for Australia. A wicket maiden by Cummins.

Not moving his feet here is Rohit. Understandable though as it is early in his innings. However, that maybe the reason why Cummins is bowling so full.

0.2 0

Pat Cummins to Rohit Sharma. Full again, some swing again. Rohit once again does not put in a long enough stride but still guides it towards point. Maxwell there makes a good stop diving to his right.

Pat Cummins to Rohit Sharma. Goes very full and on the stumps, a hint of outswing for the bowler there. Rohit Sharma with a straight bat but minimal foot movement, strokes it to mid off. Starts off right on the money does Pat.

We are all set for the action to begin. Out come the players and the umpires. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are the openers for India. The right-hander will be on strike and he will be facing Pat Cummins who has the first new ball in hand. A slip and a gully in place for him. Here we go...

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says they wanted to bat first. Mentions it looks dry and there is not going to be a lot of dew in the second innings. Reckons the pitch seems like it would just get worse. He expects the wicket to be low and slow and they will have to adapt to it quickly. Ends by saying their middle order came to the fore in the previous game which is a very good thing.

Australian skipper, Aaron Finch, expects it to spin early on but then become easy to bat when the lights come on. Mentions they did not have a good game in the last one but still managed to get close. A better effort with the ball and the bat here might just see them end on the right side. Informs that Lyon and Marsh come in place of Turner and Behrendorff.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it once again lands in the favor of Australia. To the surprise of everyone, THEY ARE BOWLING FIRST.

PITCH REPORT - Murali Kartik and Sunil Gavaskar are doing the pitch report. The former asks the latter what he reckons about the pitch. Sunil Gavaskar says it is a pitch made for the spinners. Mentions there are quite a lot of cracks on it and the team batting second will have a harder time as the pitch will probably get more difficult. Informs the boundaries here are long and batters are not going to have a good time. Reckons the captain winning the toss should probably bat first.

Hello and welcome to the second ODI between India and Australia. Change in format bought change in fortunes for the hosts. They are 1-0 up in the series and will look to make it two-in-two and make it difficult for the visitors to come back in the series. Australia, meanwhile, will want to get back to winning ways and level the series. Let us hope we are in for an exciting clash. Stay tuned for further updates...

End of Over : 49.3 AUS: 242/10

Right-o! Victory number 500 for India in all ODIs. They have always looked as one of the favourites to win the World Cup but matches like these are making them look even more dominant. They have snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat and will be buoyed with the win. Next stop is Ranchi, where the third ODI will be played on March 8, 2019 at i.30 pm local (0800 GMT). Can Australia save the series? Join us to find out! ADIOS! Take Care!

Virat Kohli is up for a chat now. Says that he is exhausted now as he has spent over 100 overs in the field. Adds that he felt 250 would be competitive but 275 would have been safe and that is what they were looking for. Is happy with his 40th ODI century but is happier with his side's victory. On the gamble to give Vijay Shankar the final over, Kohli says that he was initially going to give him the 46th, leaving Shami and Bumrah to bowl the final 4 but he was advised to first bowl the senior guys first, then leave it to Vijay Shankar at the end. Is happy with the way he bowled though, in the final over. Agrees that Rohit and Dhoni always keep giving him advice. Says that Jasprit Bumrah is a champion. Admits that these close games test India perfectly as in a World Cup, any game could be close and matches like these will help them at that stage. On Kedar Jadhav, Virat says that this pitch was tailor-made for him and was even eager to bowl the final over. Praises him for his overall contribution. And finally, on his 40th ODI century, Kohli says that 40 is just a number.

Australian captain, Aaron Finch, says it was really close and they were hoping they could get over the line. Credits the way Marcus Stoinis played. Adds that they had the momentum but then they gave it back to India and they won the game. Feels that Stoinis will learn a lot from this which is a good thing going forward. He is happy with the start he got but he needed to score more. States Virat Kohli was the difference between the two sides today.

Vijay Shankar is now having a chat with Harsha Bhogle. Shankar says he is very pleased. Mentions he did not feel he would get to bowl after he went for runs in his first over. States he wanted this opportunity and is pleased he could defend and take his team over the line. Further adds he was clear in his mind on what he wanted to do and it came off well. Says he is ready to do whatever the team needs him to. Ends by saying he is working hard on all aspects of his game.

And finally. You make like some, you may not like some but you just cannot ignore Jasprit Jasbirsingh Bumrah. He bowled well phenomenally throughout the game but this one particular over - the 46th, his 9th - was probably the one which truly told us who will win the game. When he came on, Australia needed 29 from 30 balls with 4 wickets in hand. When he finished his over, Australia needed 28 from 24 balls with 2 wickets in hand. His double-wicket over, consisting of the scalps of Coulter-Nile and Cummins, literally sealed the game.

Now, the Indian bowling. Whom would you praise? Whom would you not? Pretty difficult to say. Mohammed Shami went wicketless but how good was he in the death overs? Ravindra Jadeja - just a wicket but how economical was he? Kuldeep Yadav - he looked disgusted with himself after his performance tonight but he got the scalps of Finch, Maxwell and Carey - all at crucial junctures. Kedar Jadhav - really short of adjectives for this man. Irony.

And the innings in general? Well starts for Finch, Khawaja, Marsh, Handscomb, Stoinis and Carey - even if one had batted through, the tourists would have won. They kept getting small and meaningful stands but nothing which could threaten India for a long period of time.

At the toss, Kohli said that he expected indifferent bounce to follow as the game went deep and that is exactly what happened. Australia were going at a good rate but suddenly the batsmen became cautious and eventually the wickets started to fall. No one was set out there and after the opening stand of 83, they had three partnerships in excess of 30 - but none crossing 50.

251 was what the target was, for Australia. Definitely a tough one to chase at the toss. But given the way India were batting in the middle stages, the visitors would feel that they were chasing 20-30 runs less. And then, Finch and Khawaja staged an 83-run opening stand which probably kept the dressing room composed. But, there was drama to follow.

End of a topsy-turvy battle and India have come out on top again. They choked Australia or let us put it this way, the Aussies choked themselves and eventually got themselves into a rut. With 33 needed from 33 balls with 5 wickets in hand, you back the chasing side to win but perhaps it did not back itself.

49.3 W

Vijay Shankar to Adam Zampa. OUT! BOWLED! Perfect yorker and the stumps are rattled! India go 2-0 up with an 8-run win. A perfect delivery, right at the base of the stumps, Zampa backs away and attempts to hit it through the off side but misses. The ball goes beneath the bat and hits the timber!

49.2 2

Vijay Shankar to Adam Zampa. Short and outside off, Zampa punches this through point where Rohit Sharma dives to his right and gets a hand to it. The ball slows down and the batsmen get only a couple.

Adam Zampa is the last man in.

49.1 W

Vijay Shankar to Marcus Stoinis. OUT! Umpire's call it is! Vijay has struck gold. That is probably the final nail in the coffin. Stoinis is given his marching orders and he takes Australia's hopes of chasing this down along with him. He bowls it on a length and it skids through. Stoinis looks to heave it on the leg side but misses. It hits him on the thigh pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger.

And Stoinis is dismissed first ball! Not shockingly, he takes the review. Looks dead plumb.

Who will bowl the final over? Vijay Shankar. 1-0-13-0 so far.

End of Over : 49 9 Runs AUS: 240/8
48.6 4

Mohammed Shami to Nathan Lyon. FOUR! Lyon hits the boundary Australia needed! A poor delivery this from Shami. A full toss on the pads. NL looks to flick but it goes off the inner half, fine down the leg side and into the fence. Ideal end to what was a good over till then. 9 from it and 11 more needed in the last over.

48.5 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Another single as Stoinis flat-bats it down to long on for a single. 15 needed in 7 now.

48.4 1

Mohammed Shami to Nathan Lyon. Crisp drive! Length and outside off, Lyon smacks it through covers for a run.

48.3 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Another length delivery and Marcus works it through mid-wicket for a run. 17 from 9.

48.2 2

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. In the air... safe! Fifty for Stoinis. He started off slowly but then got into his own. He holds the key here for Australia. Stoinis walks right across and then looks to flick it over square leg who is inside the ring. It goes off the top edge and over that fielder who trackbacks and puts in a dive but fails to reach it. Two taken.

48.1 0

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Uses his feet but the length is on the shorter side, Stoinis pushes it back to the bowler. A dot to begin, Shami needs to bowl a good over here.

End of Over : 48 1 Runs AUS: 231/8
47.6 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Yes, he does! 20 from the last 2. Stoinis shuffles right across and works it through square leg for a single. Also, that is the end of Bumrah's spell. His figures read 10-0-29-2. Another top performance.

47.5 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. BEATEN! More importantly a dot! Length and around off, it straightens after pitching. Stoinis looks to defend but is beaten by the away movement. One ball to go, Marcus will be looking for a single. Can he get it?

47.4 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. 4 dots in a row as Stoinis pushes it to covers.

47.3 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. A lovely in-dipping yorker on off, Stoinis opens the face and jams it out to point. Lyon is off for a run but Stoinis sends him back.

47.2 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. On the off stump and Stoinis defends it out again.

47.1 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Angles it into the off pole, Stoinis keeps it out. I think he will be happy to play Bumrah out here.

End of Over : 47 7 Runs AUS: 230/8
46.6 0

Mohammed Shami to Nathan Lyon. A yorker on middle, Lyon looks to jam it out but gets an inside edge down to fine leg. No single this time. Maybe because Stoinis does not want Lyon to face Bumrah.

46.5 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Now 21 needed in 19 as MS guides it down to third man for a run.

46.4 4

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. FOUR! Vital boundary! Shami offers just a little width outside off, Stoinis waits for it and cuts it late. It is past the fielder at point and into the fence. 22 needed in 20.

46.3 0

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Attacks the stumps and it is kept out.

46.2 1

Mohammed Shami to Nathan Lyon. Overthrow and Lyon is off strike! Sloppy stuff from India. Lyon guides this towards point and thinks of a run but then is sent back. The fielder there has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Rayudu who is backing up, fumbles and concedes a run.

46.1 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Full and on the pads, Stoinis flicks it through mid-wicket and takes a single. Not sure why though? He refused a single on the last ball of the last over and takes one on the first ball in this over.

Mohammed Shami is back into the attack.

End of Over : 46 1 Runs AUS: 223/8
45.6 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Nathan Lyon. Full and outside off, Lyon looks to defend but the ball moves away, takes the outside edge and goes towards third man. THEY DO NOT RUN. What an over - 1, W, 0, W, 0, 0. What a bowler. Australia need 28 from the last 4 with just 2 wickets in hand.

45.5 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Nathan Lyon. Is that out too? Nope. On a length outside off, Lyon feels for it and almost, almost, edges it behind.

Nathan Lyon walks in at number 10, replacing Cummins.

45.4 W

Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins. OUT! Caught behind! The ball has carried and Cummins is on his bike! This should be the end of the game. Perfect gamble from Kohli or perhaps he knew his cards well upfront. This Bumrah over has more or less sealed the deal for India. A lovely ball, on a length outside off, Cummins looks to defend but then the ball shapes away, taking the thinnest of outside edges. Dhoni takes it well above the ground and appeals but the umpire for some reason, is not sure whether it has carried. He has a chat with his partner and refers it upstairs with the soft signal as OUT. Just one look is enough in the replays.

Has that carried? Has Cummins edged one behind? The umpire is not sure. He has a chat with his fellow umpire and then refers it upstairs and the soft signal is OUT.

45.3 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins. Around off, solidly defended back to the bowler.

Pat Cummins walks in at number 9, replacing Coulter-Nile.

45.2 W

Jasprit Bumrah to Nathan Coulter-Nile. OUT! BOWLED! Indecision costs Coulter-Nile his wicket. He is probably expecting the yorker, hence is not sure whether to come forward or stay back. The ball is bowled on a length and NCN now looks to steer it to third man. But is late. It is a 142.6 kph ball and it skids off the deck. Double trouble. Kaboom! The LED bails illuminate.

45.1 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Full and around off, Stoinis gently opens the face of the bat and guides it behind point for a single.

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack.

End of Over : 45 9 Runs AUS: 222/6
44.6 2

Kuldeep Yadav to Nathan Coulter-Nile. In the air... but safe! Nathan Coulter-Nile picked his spot there. No fielder in the deep in the mid-wicket region. He plays the slog sweep, it is not off the middle but enough to clear the fielder in the deep. Another couple.

44.5 2

Kuldeep Yadav to Nathan Coulter-Nile. Top shot! A little shorter outside off, Coulter-Nile goes back and lifts it over covers for a couple.

44.4 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Nathan Coulter-Nile. On the stumps, NCN keeps it out.

Nathan Coulter-Nile walks in at number 8, replacing Carey.

44.3 W

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. OUT! Bowled 'em!! India are still in this! But this partnership has probably taken Australia to the brink of victory. India though still won't let it loose as they are in the bowlers. Carey is done in, in flight here. It is given more air. Carey goes for the sweep but the ball goes under the bat and then hits the off pole behind.

44.2 1

Kuldeep Yadav to Marcus Stoinis. Slower through the air on middle, Stoinis works it through square leg for a run.

44.1 4

Kuldeep Yadav to Marcus Stoinis. FOUR! 15 from the last over and boundary to begin this one. The quicker one, maybe he was expecting the batsman to step out. Stoinis does not and he easily cuts it through point. Uppishly but in the gap for a boundary. The run rate required is now below six.

End of Over : 44 6 Runs AUS: 213/5
43.6 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. 6 from the over! A full toss on the stumps, Stoinis hits it down to long on and gets to the other end.

43.5 1

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. Slower short ball outside off, Carey pulls it right off the middle but through mid-wicket for a run.

43.4 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Back of a length on off, MS taps it towards point and takes a single.

43.3 1

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. Very full and on the pads, it if flicked towards wide long on for a run.

43.2 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. Angled into the batsman, Stoinis looks to work it around the corner. He misses and gets hit high on the pads. An appeal follows as the ball rolls towards third man. The umpire shakes his head and the batsmen take a run. No signal by the umpire, there might be an inside edge.

43.1 1

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. Shortish and outside off, Carey cuts it towards third man and gets to the other end.

Mohammed Shami returns. 7-0-38-0 so far.

End of Over : 43 15 Runs AUS: 207/5
42.6 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Marcus Stoinis. A dot to end but still Australia have got what they wanted, a big over. The gap between runs needed and the balls left is only two now. Very full this on off, it is hit back to the bowler. 44 needed in 42.

42.5 6

Kuldeep Yadav to Marcus Stoinis. SIX! Not the momentum shifting over but this over has probably turned the tide in the favor of the Aussies. Stoinis uses his feet, gets to the pitch of it and lofts it over the long on stands. 15 from the over so far with a ball to go.

42.4 1

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. Picks the leg spinner, goes back and slaps it through cover. Only for a run though.

42.3 4

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. FOUR! Second boundary of the over! Is this the momentum shifting over? 8 from the first three. The slog sweep is out and he has nailed it. In the gap in the mid-wicket region and another boundary.

42.2 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. Another short ball but this is closer to the off pole. Carey finds the fielder at point with his cut.

42.1 4

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. FOUR! Excellent effort in the deep but his effort goes in vain. Brings about a important boundary for Australia. Should release some pressure here. Also, it is quite early in the over. They need to make this over count now. This is short and outside off, Carey latches onto it. He cuts it through point and the ball races away. Shankar in the deep makes good ground to his right, dives and looks to push it back but fails to do so.

End of Over : 42 3 Runs AUS: 192/5
41.6 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Outside off, pushed through the covers for a run. Just 3 from the over. The equation reads 59 from 48 balls. India piling on the pressure, Australia preferring to sit back and wait...

41.5 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. On a good length outside off, coming back in a long way, MS looks to defend but the ball stays low, takes the inside edge, hits the pads and then rolls to point. A single taken. The stand moves to 20 from 26 deliveries.

41.4 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. A hat-trick of dots. Around middle, Marcus can only punch it towards cover.

41.3 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Beaten. On a good length this time, outside off, Stoinis looks to punch it without moving his feet and is beaten.

41.2 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Full and outside off, pushed straight to cover.

41.1 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Full and down the leg side, lapped to fine leg for a single.

40.4 2

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. Plays the sweep and connects well this time. Hits it through square leg for a couple.

40.3 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot.

40.2 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. The googly and on off, it comes back in. Carey looks to defend but is hit on the pads. Dhoni appeals and then Kuldeep joins in very late. Not given. Impact is an issue there.

40.1 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey. Carey looks to play the paddle but is a touch early into the shot. It goes off the toe-end back to the bowler.

POWERPLAY 3 time. 5 fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. The equation seems like it is going down to the wire but one wicket and this will be all over. Kuldeep Yadav is back on for the finishing duties. 7-0-27-2 so far.

End of Over : 40 3 Runs AUS: 186/5
39.6 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Shortish and outside off, it is slapped through cover-point and a run is taken.

39.5 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Attacks the stumps again, Carey defends it out.

39.4 1

39.3 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Back of a length on off, Stoinis pushes it back to the bowler.

39.2 1

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Well stopped! Saves a run there! Back of a length around off, Carey guides it to the right of Jadeja who dives and makes a half-stop. Keeps the batsmen down to a run.

39.1 0

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey. Full and around middle, pushed down to mid on.

Jasprit Bumrah is back on now.

End of Over : 39 8 Runs AUS: 183/5
38.6 2

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. Nicely played. Full and outside off, Stoinis pre-meditates the reverse sweep, Dhoni quickly shuffles across to his right but MS the batsman still beats MS the keeper, getting it fine of Shami at short third man. Two runs taken. 68 more needed from 66 balls.

38.5 1

Kedar Jadhav to Alex Carey. That one darts in, keeps low but Carey manages to punch it down to long on for a run. The stand moves to 10 from 8 deliveries.

38.4 0

Kedar Jadhav to Alex Carey. Landed outside off, punched straight to cover.

38.3 1

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. Another grubber, outside off, very full in length, MS manages to steer it behind point for a single.

38.2 0

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. That one barely bounces, as Marcus somehow manages to push it towards cover.

38.1 4

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. FOUR! POUNDED! Into the gap. Short and outside off, Stoinis gives himself plenty of room to the leg side and cuts it through the covers for a boundary! Moves to 21 from 33 balls.

End of Over : 38 8 Runs AUS: 175/5
37.6 2

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. A couple to end the over! On the pads, it is worked through mid-wicket. They run two. Shankar does really well to make good ground to his right and keep it down to two.

37.6 wd

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. WIDE! Down the leg side, Carey looks to flick but misses. It has been wided.

37.5 0

Mohammed Shami to Alex Carey. The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.

37.4 1

Mohammed Shami to Marcus Stoinis. On the fuller side, Stoinis strokes it through covers for a run.

Alex Carey is the new man in. The last recognized batsman for the Aussies.

37.3 W

Mohammed Shami to Peter Handscomb. OUT! Handscomb is well short! The man who was playing so well, the batsman who Australia would have wanted to be there till the end is dismissed by a run out. The last thing that the visitors would have wanted. But let us give credit to the fielder there. That was exceptional stuff by Jadeja. He has a rocket arm and is lightning quick in the field and both those qualities were on display there. Peter guides this towards point and hesitates before taking off for a run. That hesitation has probably cost him as Jadeja in that position is quick to the ball, he picks it up quickly and hits bull's eye at the non-striker's end. The Indians appeal but the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show that PH has to walk back. So just as the runs started to come between the two, a wicket has fallen. India back on top now.

Direct hit! Is Handscomb short? He has started to walk back but the umpire takes it upstairs to check.

37.2 4

Mohammed Shami to Peter Handscomb. FOUR! Chipped over mid-wicket. Very nice shot. Played it with the swing there. It came back in, Handscomb lifts it over mid-wicket. No one in the deep and a boundary results.

37.1 0

Mohammed Shami to Peter Handscomb. A little bit of tail back into the batsman. Handscomb looks to hit it through the off side but gets it off the inner half towards mid on.

Mohammed Shami is on now.

End of Over : 37 7 Runs AUS: 167/4
36.6 4

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. FOUR! Spoils what was a very good over till then! Jadhav slips in his bowling stride and hence, ends up bowling it too short. Stoinis makes room and then hits it hard through covers for a boundary. Another over of which 7 has been scored. 84 needed in 78.

36.5 0

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. Bowls it from behind the crease and it is on the shorter side. Stoinis dances down the track and pushes it back to the bowler.

36.3 2

35.1 0

Ravindra Jadeja to Peter Handscomb. Risky shot! On the pads, Handscomb plays it very late as he tries to guide it down to third man. He does connect but the ball is stopped by Dhoni's outstretched leg.

End of Over : 35 1 Runs AUS: 153/4
34.6 0

Kedar Jadhav to Marcus Stoinis. Just a run from this over! Marcus works it towards square leg and wants a run but is sent back. The gap between runs needed and balls to be bowled increasing.

34.5 wd

33.1 1

Ravindra Jadeja to Marcus Stoinis. Fired in on middle and leg, worked through square leg for a single.

End of Over : 33 3 Runs AUS: 145/4
32.6 0

Kedar Jadhav to Peter Handscomb. Sweep and miss! Outside off, Handscomb looks to sweep but due to the low bounce, it sneaks under the bat.

32.5 0

Kedar Jadhav to Peter Handscomb. DROPPED! But an exceptional attempt by Dhoni. Too harsh to call that a drop. Had that been taken, it would have been brilliant. A Dhoni special had that been pulled off. Handscomb looks to play another paddle sweep but goes down a little too early. This time though, even before the ball hits the bat, Dhoni is moving to his left. PH connects but Dhoni has made good enough ground, he then gets two hands to it but the ball does not stick in. Handscomb would have had his heart in his mouth there. He is well-set and Australia can't afford to lose him now.

However, there is not a lot Maxwell could have done about that delivery. This was short and on middle, Maxwell goes back and looks to pull. The ball though does not bounce at all and it goes under the bat and hits the middle pole. India on top now. 119 more needed with 6 wickets in hand. 129 balls more left.

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack.

26.5 0

Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Maxwell. NOT OUT! Maxwell has his foot in but another top delivery. The googly and Maxwell does not pick it. He looks to hit it through the off side but the ball turns away and beats the outside edge. The bowler appeals for a caught behind while Dhoni collects the ball and whips the bails off. He then appeals for a stumping. The former appeal has been turned down but umpire goes upstairs for the latter appeal. Replays roll in and they show, Maxwell has his foot down on the ground.

Another appeal for a stumping and once again the Indians are not very confident. Maxwell is the man in question.

26.4 0

Glenn Maxwell walks in next, at number 5, replacing Marsh. If it is his night, the match might finish 10 overs earlier than expected.

23.5 W

Ravindra Jadeja to Shaun Marsh. OUT! Marsh has been caught down the leg side. Soft, soft way to get out. A lucky breakthrough for India, they though will take it with both hands as they needed to end this budding stand. Jadeja continues bowling a straighter line to the left-hander. This though is down the leg side. Marsh looks to flick, the ball goes off the face of the bat but not as fine as he wanted to. It goes straight into the gloves of Dhoni who takes it and appeals. The umpire quickly raises his finger. All the three spinners now have a wicket each. Game once again is evenly poised at the moment. Australia need 129 more with 7 wickets in hand.

Two new batsmen now, Australia needed one of the set batsmen to play long as it is not going to be easy for the new batsman here. India will now look to build on this.
