KL Rahul (W)c Sean Abbott b Moises Henriques 51 40 5 1 127.5

13.5

Moises Henriques to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Rahul departs after playing a good knock but has given it away at the wrong time. He was trying to clear the longer part of the ground but has failed. India desperately needed him to continue. Henriques is having a brilliant game at the moment. Slower ball on middle, Rahul looks to go over long on but does not time it well. Abbott runs ahead from Long on and takes a good catch. Australia are on top.

Shikhar Dhawanb Mitchell Starc 1 6 0 0 16.67

2.5

Mitchell Starc to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! That is why Mitchell Starc is so good. People who are wondering why Mitch is still playing for Australia? This is why! Full and on off, a hint of away swing, just a hint. Dhawan looks to drive on the up but misses. The ball, despite the hint of away swing, manages to take the off pole down.

Virat Kohli (C)c & b Mitchell Swepson 9 9 1 0 100

6.4

Mitchell Swepson to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Kohli falls again to a leg spinner. He is disappointed with himself and just puts up a smile as he walks back. Swepson strikes in his first over and it is the big wicket of Virat Kohli. Flatter ball on off, it comes on a bit quicker than Kohli expected. Virat Kohli looks to play at it but it takes the top edge and lobs towards the left of the bowler. Swepson moves to that side and takes the catch. Big wicket for Australia.

Sanju Samsonc Mitchell Swepson b Moises Henriques 23 15 1 1 153.33

11.1

Moises Henriques to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! That has gone straight into the hands of the fielder at cover. A very promising innings from Samson comes to an end. A budding partnership has been broken and Australia get the breakthrough at the right time. Full ball outside off, Samosn looks to go over extra cover but does not get the required elevation on it. Swepson stationed at extra cover takes the catch and sends Samson back. Samson is disappointed as he walks back.

Manish Pandeyc Josh Hazlewood b Adam Zampa 2 8 0 0 25

12.4

Adam Zampa to Manish Pandey, OUT! CAUGHT! Pandey goes now! This is excellent bowling from Zampa. Not a good return to the Indian side for Manish Pandey. Excellent catch from Hazlewood as well. Zampa bowls a flatter ball outside off, it bounces a little more than expected as well. Pandey looks to cut but it takes the top edge and goes towards short third man. Hazlewood dives forward and takes a very good catch. India keep losing wickets at regular intervals.

Hardik Pandyac Steven Smith b Moises Henriques 16 15 0 1 106.67

16.5

Moises Henriques to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent stuff from Moises Henriques. He has had a very good game so far. Hardik goes for 16 from 15 balls. Good bowling from the hosts. Full and around off, Pandya looked to launch it over long off again but this time he gets it off the top half of the bat. It goes high in the air and towards wide long off. Steven Smith is the man there, he settles under it and takes it with ease.

19.3

Mitchell Starc to Washington Sundar, OUT! TAKEN! Close to 140 kph that ball. Very difficult for any lower order batsman to get a hold of it. It was full and around off, Washington Sundar looked to launch it over long on but does not get his timing right. It goes to the man at long on, Sean Abbott. He takes it easily.

14.6

T Natarajan to D'Arcy Short, OUT! TAKEN! India in the game. The set batsman is gone. Big wicket for India. Cross seam full ball around off, Short looks to slog it over long on but does not get his timing right. It goes to Hardik at long on who takes it by coming forward a few steps. Australia still need 49 runs in 30 balls.

Aaron Finch (C)c Hardik Pandya b Yuzvendra Chahal 35 26 5 1 134.62

7.4

Yuzvendra Chahal to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Hardik Pandya! After two dropped catches, finally one is taken and Finch after a good start has to depart. Guess who, the concussion substitute takes the wicket. It will be interesting to see the look on Langer's face right now. Tossed up on off, Finch looks to go downtown but gets a top edge and it goes towards long off. Pandya runs ahead and then dives to take a magnificent catch. 106 needed in 74 balls.

Steven Smithc Sanju Samson b Yuzvendra Chahal 12 9 0 1 133.33

9.5

Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Smith goes! Is that the game for India? Chahal gets another and Langer must be fuming in the dugout. 2 wickets for Chahal in two overs. Floated ball on middle, Smith heaves it to the deep mid-wicket region where Samson runs ahead and takes a terrific catch. Australia need 90 in 61 balls.

Glenn Maxwelllbw b T Natarajan 2 3 0 0 66.67

10.3

T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! LBW! What a review from Kohli and India! What a moment for T Natarajan! He gets his first T20I wicket and has taken the big wicket of Maxwell. Brilliant use of the review. It looked plumb and the only thing that could have saved Maxwell was the bat but that did not happen. Natarajan bowls a good length delivery on middle and off, Maxwell looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal but the umpire is not interested. Kohli takes the review immediately. There is nothing on Ultra Edge but the Ball Tracker shows all reds. So, Maxwell has to walk back.

Moises Henriqueslbw b Deepak Chahar 30 20 1 1 150

17.4

Deepak Chahar to Moises Henriques, OUT! LBW! Moises is dismissed. Fullish on middle, Henriques had moved to the off side a touch. He looks to swing it to the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW is put and the umpire, Rod Tucker, raises his finger. Henriques gets to the other end and then flashes the 'T'. It is taken upstairs. Only bat can save Moises Henriques. But there is no bat, as confirmed from Hot Spot and Snicko. Ball Tracker just states the obvious - THREE REDS! The 6th wicket is down for the Aussies. They need 36 runs in 14 balls still.

Matthew Wade (W)c Virat Kohli b Yuzvendra Chahal 7 9 0 0 77.78

16.6

Yuzvendra Chahal to Matthew Wade, OUT! TAKEN! What a spell of bowling this has been from Chahal. It was the last ball of his spell and he gets a wicket there as well. Matthew Wade has not had a good day. Tossed up around off, Wade sits down and mows a slog sweep. He hits is uppishly and straight down the throat of the Indian skipper at deep mid-wicket. Kohli does not drop this one. The Kangaroos need 40 runs in 18 balls still.

18.1

T Natarajan to Mitchell Starc, OUT! BOWLED! And the yorker Natarajan cleans his left-arm counterpart from Australia. The angle is very good for a left-arm seamer. What a debut he is having. It was a yorker on off and middle, Starc gives himself some room and looks to go big over covers. But he misses and the ball crashes into the sticks.
