16.4 -
Ravindra Jadeja to Faulkner, SIX, oh that's slogged hard and the timing was very good. Mind you, Faulkner is also known as Finisher Faulkner! Jadeja fires this in on the off stump, Faulkner muscles this over mid-wicket for a maximum

Ravindra Jadeja to Finch, SIX, that would have been a stunner had Umesh held on, instead, he palmed it over the ropes. RJ dropped one short and on the stumps, Finch rocked back on the pull and over mid-wicket.

Bumrah to Andrew Tye, out Bowled!! That's knocked over middle and off once again. Wonderful bowling from the youngster. Two games and two crushing wins for India. With that, they have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series as well. MS Dhoni becomes the first Indian captain to win two series in Australia. This was full and angled in, Tye tried to loft, but missed the ball completely. Andrew Tye b Bumrah 4(4) [4s-1]

Bumrah to Hastings, out Bowled!! He castled Faulkner with a similar delivery in the first game and now he's knocked over Hastings. Very full delivery from wide of the crease, almost a yorker, Hastings swung hard, got an inside edge and it crashed into middle and off. Hastings b Bumrah 4(6)

Ravindra Jadeja to Faulkner, out Stumped!! This is a freak dismissal for Faulkner. Initially I thought he was bowled, but India got lucky as the ball ricocheted off Dhoni's left pad to disturb the stumps. This was fullish and just outside off stump, Faulkner swung hard at it and much like the previous ball got a thick inside edge, it missed the stumps and was too low for Dhoni to collect, the ball came off his pad and disturbed the sticks. By then, Faulkner's back foot was outside the crease and it was curtains for him. Faulkner st Dhoni b Ravindra Jadeja 10(7) [6s-1]
15.2 -
Ashwin to Wade, out Finch Run Out!! Will that be the end of Australia's chase? This was pushed through on off, Wade made room and punched it straight to RJ at extra cover. Wade always wanted the single, Finch was late in backing up, to his misery, he grabbed his hamstring halfway through, the throw isn't the best, but MS is quick to whip the bails off. Replays suggest that Finch was just short of making his ground. Finch run out (Ravindra Jadeja/Dhoni) 74(48) [4s-8 6s-2]
14.2 -
Ravindra Jadeja to Watson, out Caught&Bowled!! Terrific return catch from Jadeja and the dangerous Watson departs! This was tossed up invitingly on off, Watson came forward and drilled it to the right of the bowler. He moved across, got both hands to it and holds on, massive, massive wicket for India. Watson looks stunned, but he has to go, that was going at a rate of knots. The umpire was ducking for cover. Watson c and b Ravindra Jadeja 15(11) [4s-2]
11.4 -
Yuvraj to Maxwell, out Stumped!! India are fighting their way back into the match. This was pushed through flatter and quicker as Maxwell came down the track, he had to reach out for the drive, the ball went underneath his bat and MS is quick to whip the bails off. Yuvraj hasn't had a bat so far in the T20Is, but he's made a massive contribution now. Maxwell st Dhoni b Yuvraj 1(2)
10.5 -
Pandya to Chris Lynn, out Caught by Dhoni!! Lynn has blown away his chance once again! Looked in a big hurry to please the MCG crowd, this was a good length slower delivery outside off, he made room and was looking to swat it back over the bowler's head, gets a steepling top-edge. Dhoni back pedalled, Bumrah came across from short third man, but it was always the keeper's catch. MS watches it all along and holds on. Chris Lynn c Dhoni b Pandya 2(4)

Ashwin to S Marsh, out Caught by Pandya!! India have finally held on to one, it's Pandya who completes the catch at long-on.

Ashwin to Finch, 1 run, Rishi dropped one in the last ball, now, Shikhar has dropped a dolly. This was tossed up outside off, Finch went for the slog sweep, doesn't get hold of the shot, straight into Shikhar's hands at deep mid-wicket, he somehow drops a clanger. Finch survives
9.3 -
Ashwin to Finch, 2 runs, clumsy effort from Rishi, he never really looked like he would take it, this was tossed up on Finch's pads, he whipped it in the air and to the left of deep backward square leg. Rishi was late on the ball, gets his fingertips and shells it
