Due to some technical problems, we are unable to cover live matches on our site and app. We are working on it and will be back soon. Please stay tuned for more.

46.3 - Ishant to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, another one that is thumped down the ground. He is into the 90s and has recorded his highest ODI score. A ton up for grabs. Low full toss just outside off, Marsh drives it past Ishant, who tries to put his hand out. Long-off had no chance

45.5 - R Dhawan to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, that hardly took off, couple of bounces and into the rope. The steward sitting outside has been pinged on the thigh. Please someone stop Marsh, he is hurting people. Slower delivery which is short, Marsh hammers it over extra cover, not a muscle moved

43.3 - R Dhawan to Wade, FOUR, bad delivery and punished. 107ks slower one which is dragged halfway down, Wade clears his front leg and mows it over mid-wicket, no one in the deep to stop that from reaching the fence

41.5 - R Dhawan to Wade, FOUR, unlucky! That didn't deserve a boundary. Slanted well across the left-hander, Wade goes chasing after it, the toe-end goes fine and beats third man with ease

40.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, Marsh has started to show his range now. Waited for this one, cut it late and placed it behind square on the off-side, no chance for sweeper to stop that

39.5 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, oh intimidating. Transfers his weight on the back foot after the initial stride forward after seeing the length early, pulls it forcefully behind square and in the gap

39.2 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, brilliant batting this. It's not a shot played in anger. Just timing. Similar full ball hoping for reverse swing. There isn't a considerable amount. Marsh stomps beside the line of the ball and plays a lavish punchy-drive straight of mid-off (who had been brought up before this ball)

38.3 - Ishant to Warner, FOUR, oh too easy. Overcooked the yorker and dished out a full toss outside off, Warner might have actually converted it into one by advancing, slashes it over extra-cover

36.1 - Ishant to Warner, FOUR, slotted through extra-cover. Watch out India. This man is going to unload I feel. Lines up the good length delivery outside off, opens his stance and creams the drive on the up. Didn't bother to keep it down. Didn't need to

31.4 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, atrocious stuff from Yadav. He's been guilty of this far too often. Attempts a slower ball and drops it short outside off, Marsh blazes the cut square of the wicket

29.4 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, short and wide! Marsh pounced on it, placing the cut through cover

29.3 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, there's the touch of class from Marsh! Save your legs Marshy. Don't bother running. Bent his back knee a tad and timed the drive to perfection, wide of mid-off and way she goes into the fence

29.1 - U Yadav to Warner, FOUR, outside edge and safe! "Lucky boundary" as VVS describes it on air. On a length and swung away from Warner who has a waft. Eked out a thick outside edge which flies well wide of MS, down to the third man fence

27.1 - R Dhawan to Warner, FOUR, that should have been a wide! But Warner won't mind. When he's in that kind of mood, he won't spare any. Does he? Slower fullish delivery well wide of off. Warner shuffles across and late-cuts behind backward point. Placed it to perfection!

23.3 - Gurkeerat Singh to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, shot! Knelt down and picked the bones out of that. Slog-swept with impeccable timing through square leg

20.1 - Ravindra Jadeja to Warner, FOUR, and there is action straightaway! Just over a leaping long-on. Must say it's a commendable effort from Gurkeerat. Warner waltzed down the track and lofted it wide of long-on who moves across to his left, jussssssst evaded him. Tough chance!

15.1 - Bumrah to Warner, byes, FOUR, that's a shooter from Bumrah, kept very low after pitching, luckily for Warner, it wasn't on the stumps, he poked at that and was beaten, MS can't stop it either, straight through his legs and into the fence

14.1 - R Dhawan to Warner, FOUR, lovely shot, overpitched and just outside off, Warner gets a big stride forward and chips it over mid-off, a few bounces and over the ropes

9.5 - Bumrah to Warner, FOUR, short of a length and well, Warner rocked back on the pull, doesn't get hold of the shot, but places it in the gap past mid-wicket, the ball rolls away to the fence in a hurry

8.5 - U Yadav to Smith, FOUR, this is poor bowling from Umesh, too straight and ending up on Smith's pads, whipped away over mid-wicket for a boundary, turning out to be an expensive over

8.3 - U Yadav to Smith, FOUR, not the best looking shot, but Smith earns a boundary, on a good length and just outside off, Smith dragged it back past the non-striker, closed the bat face on impact, beats mid-on and rolls away to the straight boundary

6.4 - Ishant to Smith, FOUR, short, wide and four, poor ball from Ishant, Smith gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square on the off-side for a boundary

4.0 - U Yadav to Warner, FOUR, cracking shot, Calypso pull from Warner, too short from Umesh, sits up to be hit, Warner stands on one leg and dismisses it over square leg with the pull, no need to run for those

1.5 - U Yadav to Warner, FOUR, excellent riposte from Warner, Umesh went searching for swing once again, overpitched this one well outside off, Warner leans forward, drives it on the up and beats mid-off - to his right, no need to run for those

0.4 - Ishant to Finch, FOUR, aggression from Finch, pitched up and just outside off, no swing for Ishant, Finch leans forward, drives it on the up and clears mid-off, just one bounce and over the ropes

47.2 - U Yadav to Wade, SIX, Yadav keeps dishing out rubbish and keeps disappearing. Why would you bowl a slower one on leg-stump with a short leg-side boundary? Hard for me to understand. Wade helps it along the way over backward square for a maximum

44.3 - Bumrah to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, that has been bullied! Mitchell Marsh is called the Bison in the Aussie dressing and that is for this reason. He has murdered that short of length delivery, sat up nicely for Marsh who pulls it flat over deep mid-wicket. A spectator tries to catch and hurts himself. Why would you do that? He is grimacing in pain

36.5 - Ishant to Warner, SIX, disdainful. That's more like a butcher than a cricketer. Utter disrespect. Perfectly on a good length on off, clears his front leg and clubs it through the line straight back over. Clunked into the advertising boards

31.3 - U Yadav to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, pulled and that's gone! For a moment, I thought it came right off the top edge. But it kept sailing and ended up 5-10 rows back over fine leg. Another poor short ball, no purpose, no venom. Ends up around the mid-riff region. Marsh swivels across and hammers it away

23.5 - Gurkeerat Singh to Warner, SIX, Warner is looking as good as ever! 100 on the cards? How does he time the ball so well? Only he must know. Down on one knee - not to propose - but to smoke a six over mid-wicket, high and handsome!

18.2 - R Dhawan to Warner, SIX, that's Warner for you! Down on one knee and smacking sixes at will. He wallops this fullish delivery high and over deep extra cover. Superb stuff that!

48.1 - Bumrah to Faulkner, out Bowled!! Cleaned 'im up. Damien Martyn just stole my words as he said, "Take a bow." It has been a dream debut for Bumrah. The perfect yorker, Faulkner was in the hitting mood, goes for the drive, the ball sneaks under the bat and crashes into the off-stump. Dhoni was also impressed as he applauded. Faulkner b Bumrah 1(3)

47.3 - U Yadav to Wade, out Caught by Dhoni!! Something for Yadav to cheer about. However, Wade has done his job. Got a quickfire 36 and has left it to Finisher Faulkner to finish off the innings. Angled well outside off, might have been a wide had Wade let go, instead he went chasing and the outside edge is snaffled by Dhoni. No celebrations from the Indians. In fact, they didn't even appeal. Wade c Dhoni b U Yadav 36(27) [4s-2 6s-1]

38.5 - Ishant to Warner, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! It's over. All the butchery, the carnage, the bullying. Ishant's brought India some much needed breathing space. A well disguised off-cutter, bowled it on a back of a length outside off. Warner had to manufacture all the pace on his own as he tried to hoist it off the back-foot over extra-cover. Ends up slicing it off the outside-edge towards backward point. Jadeja moves to his right and clasps it before tumbling over. Warner c Ravindra Jadeja b Ishant 122(113) [4s-9 6s-3]

21.2 - Gurkeerat Singh to Warner, out S Marsh Run Out!! 1 run completed. Oh! What was that? It's a fortunate dismissal for India, and how unfortunate is that guy, Shaun Marsh. Warner smashed the punch through extra cover and Umesh rifled a throw towards Gurkeerat. The throw was perfect but Gurkeerat didn't pick it at all. Just that he had his body behind the ball and to his delight, the ball thuds his left knee and deflects onto the stumps. Marsh is caught well short. S Marsh run out (U Yadav/Gurkeerat Singh) 7(14)

14.5 - R Dhawan to Bailey, out Caught by Ishant!! First ODI wicket for Dhawan! A soft dismissal for Bailey, this was a short of a length delivery on off, Bailey was looking to work it towards the on-side, closed the face of the bat a tad too early, the ball looped over the bowler's head - off the leading edge, Ishant gets across to his left at mid-on and holds on to the dolly. Advantage India now, Australia have lost their third wicket. Bailey c Ishant b R Dhawan 6(14)

11.5 - Bumrah to Smith, out Caught by Rohit!! Poor shot from Smith and Bumrah celebrates his first scalp in ODIs. This was a good short ball, just outside off and around throat-high, Smith wasn't picking his short deliveries well, he goes back and looks to muscle it over mid-wicket, doesn't get hold of the shot and it's a simple head high catch for Rohit at short mid-wicket. Bumrah is chuffed to bits, so are his mates. Smith c Rohit b Bumrah 28(37) [4s-3]

1.0 - Ishant to Finch, out Lbw!! Ishant has struck in his first over! Finch misjudges one, he was playing for the away-going ball, this one nipped back in after pitching outside off, he doesn't offer a shot, was half-forward as he let it go, the ball thuds into his pads, around knee-high and in front of off, it was going on and hitting at least the off stump. As plumb as it gets, India have struck very early. Finch lbw b Ishant 6(6) [4s-1]

49.3 - Ishant to Mitchell Marsh, 2 runs, there it is! Mitchell Marsh has his maiden ODI hundred. Look at him go. Completes the second and immediately takes off his helmet. Waves his bat to all corners of the ground. The older brother is delighted, he is on his feet applauding. So is the entire Aussie dressing room. Marsh also lets out a roar. Coming to the ball, full and on the pads, flicked to deep mid-wicket

48.3 - Bumrah to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, full and straight, Marsh eases it down the ground, thought about the second, but has to be content with one

37.1 - Bumrah to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, pats this leg-cutter in front of mid-off and skates to the other end to bring up a well jotted fifty. The good thing about this knock has been that unlike Canberra, he has never allowed the momentum to slack

36.3 - Ishant to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, punched on the rise through the cover region. Leaned towards the back of a length delivery after moving inches forward and hit it in the gap for the single

35.4 - Bumrah to Warner, 1 run, knocked back down the pitch, deflects off the stumps at the other end down to long-on

35.3 - Bumrah to Warner, 2 runs, he's done it! Maiden ODI hundred against India for David Warner. Removes his helmet, does his traditional leaping gig and punches the air in delight. There's no stopping him. Glided it behind backward point and scampered across. Always going to come back for two. And then dedicates it to his recently born second daughter doing a little cradle gesture

19.5 - Ishant to Warner, 1 run, back of a length on leg-stump. Asking Warner to get to his fifty with ease. Warner obliges and flicks to fine leg, milestone ticked!

49.3 - Mitchell Marsh to M Pandey, FOUR, maiden ODI hundred for Pandey, has he won India the match with this shot? Cheeky, cheeky.. This was full and well outside off, Pandey waited on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and guided it past the keeper. Third man was wide and the ball rolled away to the fence. What a knock under pressure! He takes the helmet off, jumps and pumps his fist and then kisses the India badge on the helmet before raising his bat to a great round of applause

47.5 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhoni, FOUR, lovely shot! Marsh misses his yorker, turns out to be a length ball outside off, drilled hard and back past the bowler, no chance for the fielder in the deep

47.2 - Mitchell Marsh to M Pandey, FOUR, that's handy for Pandey and India, wide yorker from Marsh, Pandey reaches out for it, jams it hard, gets it off the back of the bat, goes fine and rolls away to the fence for a boundary

41.5 - Boland to M Pandey, FOUR, creamed, that should break the shackles, Pandey runs down the track, makes room as he did so and drills a length ball past cover, no chance for the man in the deep

38.5 - Hastings to M Pandey, FOUR, handy boundary. India had just fallen behind on the asking rate, this four should help them keep up. Banged in short and outside off, Pandey jumps up and cuts it over backward point. Like a right-handed version of Shikhar Dhawan

34.1 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, welcome to the attack Hastings. Short and width on offer, Rohit rides the bounce and caresses the punch square of the wicket, the timing was silk-like as the ball raced away to the fence

30.3 - Smith to Rohit, FOUR, Rohit joins in to have some of Smith. Tossed up on off, Rohit kneels down and lifts it over mid-on, it was not the conventional sweep, but got enough to clear the fielder

30.1 - Smith to M Pandey, FOUR, Smith continues with his half-trackers, Pandey could have had coffee and still had the time to put that away, goes deep in the crease and pulls it behind square, no one to save that in the deep

29.3 - Faulkner to Rohit, FOUR, this is majestic stuff, picking his spots. He saw mid-off was up, and never bothered about the length. Just decided that it has to go over there. Backs away to a short of length delivery and swats his flat-batted heave over the infield

28.3 - Smith to M Pandey, FOUR, that's come with a ribbon on it. Dragged down short, way too short, on off stump. Pandey could have hit it anywhere. Opts to give the backward square leg fence a visit

26.2 - Lyon to M Pandey, FOUR, excellent use of the feet. Got him right to the pitch. What he also did was make room to allow a free swing of the arms. And then slaps the flat-batted drive through extra-cover

24.4 - Lyon to M Pandey, FOUR, broomed away! Tossed up on a length on middle, Pandey gets down on one knee and slams the sweep. In the air for a trifle bit, but Shaun Marsh at backward square can only watch it zoom past

23.0 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, edged to slip and it's gone through his palms. Or did he get only fingertips? Might have been the latter. Shortish outside off, Rohit aims a square cut, didn't move his back foot across, nor did he get on top of the bounce. The top-edge flies over Smith's left, he leaps across stretching both hands. But couldn't quite place it in the centre of his palms. Tips it over and down to the third man fence

19.1 - Mitchell Marsh to Kohli, FOUR, this is liquid batting. So easy, so flowy. Just a tad full outside off, came forward and across before unleashing a classic extra-cover drive

18.1 - Hastings to Dhawan, FOUR, and Dhawan just continues to hurtle along at a rapid pace. The bowling is his best ally at the moment. Short of length on the hips, he swivels across and pulls it fine. Bit of an under edge and it scoots away

17.1 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhawan, FOUR, wow, what a shot that is. Improvisation at its very best. Was challenged with a short ball after coming down the track, Dhawan's hands take over. Opens the bat face and ramps it over short third man

16.5 - Lyon to Dhawan, FOUR, lovely use of the crease. Went very deep realizing the opportunity. Only slightly short and he has late-cut it splitting backward point and short third man

13.5 - Faulkner to Rohit, FOUR, that needs to be checked. No? Yeah, it's a boundary. Bailey's foot was strolling carelessly on the cushions as he slid to stop. Flicked through mid-wicket, Bailey rushes across and flicks it back. But didn't have his foot in control

11.3 - Faulkner to Rohit, FOUR, magnificent. Sheer class from Rohit. Not a bad ball at all. Only a fraction full outside off, Rohit doesn't bother moving his front foot too much. Just tilts his upper body forward and punches it past a diving mid-off

8.3 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhawan, FOUR, "shot of the night" chirps Dean Jones on air. Agreed! Dhawan leant forward and creamed the drive straight down the ground. No point chasing that lads!

7.5 - Boland to Dhawan, FOUR, another heart-in-the-mouth moment for Dhawan. It was slinging down leg and Dhawan plays his favourite stroke - pick up shot that is. The fielder at deep backward square was 10-15 yards inside and had he stayed closer to the boundary, it would have been a simple catch. Shaun Marsh was the man. He backtracks and leaps but to no avail

7.2 - Boland to Rohit, FOUR, add to that. Another one on Rohit's tippy toes and he puts it away with utter disdain. Nearly in the same region again

7.1 - Boland to Rohit, FOUR, "PPPLahoreLAAAAYYEED" screamed Rohit's fan in the comm. box here. Mr. Sagar Chawla from Mumbai and he had every reason to admire this man who hails from the same city. Full on the pads, Rohit whips and ensures and he got it wide of mid-on

6.5 - Hastings to Dhawan, FOUR, wow! You can superimpose David Warner over that shot. Came down the track and flayed that over the infield on the off-side. All timing and placement. It was an uppish drive over cover and no one moved!

5.3 - Boland to Dhawan, FOUR, brilliant! Raced down the track and manufactured some room for himself. Opened the bat face slightly to slot it between cover and backward point. All about placement that shot!

4.1 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, shot Rohit! When he times it that well there is very little any oppostion could do. Saw the width and square drove it beating Lyon's dive at backward point

49.1 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhoni, SIX, this is why he's called 'Captain Cool', this was a low full-toss outside off, Dhoni gets underneath it and clobbers it high and over long-off, much needed for India

32.4 - Lyon to M Pandey, SIX, beautiful! So supple when coming down the track, meets the pitch of the flighted delivery, gives a bit of room to get the free flowing of the arms, sends it soaring over the wide long-off fence

23.5 - Boland to Rohit, SIX, that's been shoved over long-on. No better word came into my mind. Came forward and authoritatively pulled it straight back. And a spectator is furious with himself. For dropping the catch

12.3 - Lyon to Dhawan, SIX, that's a crackerjack of a half-century. Has kept India right in this one. And what a way to get there. Letting Lyon know who the boss really is. Sits on his back knee premeditating the sweep, gets an ideal length and slaps it way over deep square

8.2 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhawan, SIX, another pick up shot and this one has gone the distance. Going down leg and asking for trouble, Dhawan obliges and dispatches it over the deep square leg fence

6.1 - Hastings to Dhawan, SIX, well! How about that? Just stand and admire. Straight into the stands. Dhawan picked the length, cleared his front leg and slogged it over the cow-corner fence

49.2 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhoni, out Caught by Warner!! More Drama, Dhoni has holed out! At least, the batsmen crossed over and it will be Pandey facing the next ball. This was full and well outside off, Dhoni went for another lofted off-drive, doesn't get hold of the shot. Warner runs in from the deep, sinks onto his knees and completes the catch. Dhoni c Warner b Mitchell Marsh 34(42) [4s-1 6s-1]

34.5 - Hastings to Rohit, out Caught by Wade!! Heartbreak! Rohit can't believe the umpire has raised his finger. Lets out a cry of anguish. He falls one short of his third hundred in the series. Is this the opening Australia were looking for? Once again it is Hastings who provides the crucial breakthrough. But the main question is was there an edge? With the way Wade went up, I don't think he was confident. However, Hastings was and so were the rest of the Aussies. It was short of length just outside off, Rohit goes for the dab to third man. HotSpot didn't show anything on the bat. The Snicko showed a spike though. It was a 50-50 call and it went in favour of the home side. Rohit c Wade b Hastings 99(108) [4s-9 6s-1]

20.2 - Hastings to Kohli, out Caught by Wade!! Huge. India will have to pursue this target without their best batsman in a run-chase now. Massive moment in the game. Fullish outside off, however not that full also to be flashing at it. Kohli looks to hit it hard, ends up throwing his bat away from the body aiming a blistering cover-drive and the extra bounce does him in. Gets a faint tickle through to Wade who takes it head high. Kohli c Wade b Hastings 8(11) [4s-1]

18.2 - Hastings to Dhawan, out Caught by S Marsh!! Someone has brought in the time machine. We are back in 2015 at the World Cup semi-final. Dhawan advancing, slashing, and holing out. That time it cost India the game. Lost all momentum. And he's done it again. Hastings bowled it wider after seeing Dhawan come hurling down, he slashes it, hits it well but there is a man in the deep. Marsh runs back towards his left, keeps his eyes on the ball right through, times his jump to perfection and cups it before tumbling over. Big breakthrough. Dhawan c S Marsh b Hastings 78(56) [4s-7 6s-3]

41.1 - Boland to Dhoni, 1 run, Lyon has dropped a dolly, how costly will this prove to be? This was banged in short and well outside off, Dhoni rocked back on the pull, doesn't get hold of it, went high off the bat and towards deep mid-wicket. Lyon looked settled under it and somehow allows it to pop out. He tried to reverse-cup it, but it burst through his fingers

34.0 - Mitchell Marsh to Rohit, 1 run, dropped! Shaun Marsh have you just spilled the match? Earlier he took a ripper to get rid of Dhawan and now he has grassed a straightforward chance, and that too of his little brother. Fuller and around off, Rohit goes for the loft over mid-off, the bat turned on impact and skied it towards sweeper. Finch runs back from backward point and that might have put off Shaun, goes for the reverse cup and puts it down

36.2 - Hastings to M Pandey, 2 runs, 2nd ODI fifty for Pandey. What an innings under pressure. Walks up to his skipper and is being congratulated. Just a wave of the bat to acknowledge the applause from the crowd. Fullish and around off, Pandey lifts it over extra cover sans any timing, sweeper cleans up

22.0 - Mitchell Marsh to Rohit, 1 run, glided wide of point and hurries to the other end to bring up fifty. Needs to bat through here

15.3 - Faulkner to Rohit, 1 run, on the hips and nudged behind square to bring up the century stand
