The conditions look a bit bleak out there. The floodlights are on. Shaun Marsh and Finch march out to the middle. Barinder Sran, who impressed everyone on his debut, will start the proceedings for India. Finch will take strike. 2 slips in place. Right then! Off we go...

Startling stat: This will offer Indian fans some respite. The highest chase at this venue till date - 301/9 by Australia against England in 2014. Be back for Australia's response in about 40 minutes...

Luck was on his side as the umpire didn't spot the edge when he nicked one to the keeper on 89. But misfortune followed him soon as Faulkner palmed Rahane's lofted drive back onto the stumps. Rahane though kept himself busy at the crease by ticking the scoreboard and acknowledging the boundary balls. He ensured that the runs never dried up by picking singles more often than not - something that was missing during Rohit-Kohli's 125-run stand. Rahane certainly looked a class apart but fell short of a hundred by 11 runs after a fluent knock. Australia made a good comeback in the final 5 overs - just conceded 38 runs and consumed 5 wickets.

At the end of 17 overs in the first ODI, India were 82/1. Fast forward three days later, India were 82/1 again. Only thing that changed was the venue and India fell short by one run of the final total. Rohit and Kohli looked as firm as they were in the first ODI. However, the lack of urgency during the middle overs seemed to have hurt India, yet again. Only time will tell how costly will that prove. After India lost Dhawan early, Kohli took on Richardson's arm (the best fielder in the outfield according to Brett Lee) and threw away a great opportunity to score a hundred. Rohit thumped his way to yet another hundred - a knock that saw a few streaky strokes, thunderbolts and who can deny his class!

49.6 - Hastings to Ravindra Jadeja, out Ravindra Jadeja Run Out!! So India have got one run lesser than what they got at the WACA. This is a strong comeback from Australia and going into the break, they will feel the momentum is with them. Yorker from Hastings, Jadeja digs it out down the pitch, Yadav tries to steal a run, but the ball was close to Hastings, who picked it up, ran back and easily dislodged the bails. Jadeja was not even in the picture. Ravindra Jadeja run out (Hastings) 5(5)

Hastings to Ravindra Jadeja, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

49.5 - Hastings to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, very full and outside off stump, Jadeja walks across and tries to scoop, but misses

49.4 - Hastings to Ravindra Jadeja, 2 runs, that's strange cricket from India. Firstly, the full toss was only hit gently along the ground to long-on, secondly, the batsmen weren't pushing for the second run. Oh a fumble from Hastings allows Jadeja to complete the second eventually. It was a straightforward throw to the bowler but he spilled it

Umesh Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

49.3 - Hastings to Ashwin, out Caught by Boland!! The slump continues for India and they have lost 3 wickets in a space of 7 balls now. Full and on the off stump, Ashwin walks across and tries to scoop it over short fine leg, but gets a top-edge, goes only as far as short third man, who moves to his left and takes the catch. Ashwin c Boland b Hastings 1(2)

Hastings to Ashwin, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

49.2 - Hastings to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, full and on the off stump, Jadeja for some reason only defends this with an angled bat towards backward point. Probably he was expecting a slower ball there

49.1 - Hastings to Ashwin, 1 run, Ashwin moves across the stumps, Hastings bowls a slower delivery, which is guided towards backward point

John Hastings [7.0-0-42-0] is back into the attack

Last over coming up. India made 309 in the last game. How much will they make now?

48.6 - Faulkner to Ravindra Jadeja, 2 runs, very full slower ball, Jadeja works it to deep mid-wicket and races back for the second

Ravichandran Ashwin, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.5 - Faulkner to M Pandey, out Caught by Joel Paris!! He's hit this with one-hand, but it's a catch at long-off. Slower delivery outside off stump, Pandey tries the loft, but played a little early and lost the bottom hand grip, in the end spooned it in the air and long-off ran forward and completed an easy catch. India are losing a lot of gas here. Turning out to be a great last over from Faulkner. With these big boundaries, the slower ball is very handy when the batsman is trying to hit the ball hard. Have India's bowlers taken note? M Pandey c Joel Paris b Faulkner 6(5) [4s-1]

Faulkner to M Pandey, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

48.4 - Faulkner to M Pandey, FOUR, that's a nice hit to bring up India's 300. Faulkner goes full and wide trying the yorker, Pandey reaches out and slices it over backward point, the timing was too good and third man had no chance

Ravindra Jadeja, left handed bat, comes to the crease

48.3 - Faulkner to Rahane, out Caught by Smith!! In the airrrrrrr, I don't think this has got enough legs and he holes out in the deep. End of a fine innings from Rahane. Slower delivery on the stumps, Rahane steps out and slogs, but the lack of pace on the ball meant he completely mistimed the shot, Smith moves to his right at deep mid-wicket and takes a simple catch. Rahane falls 11 runs short of a hundred. Rahane c Smith b Faulkner 89(80) [4s-6 6s-1]

Faulkner to Rahane, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

48.2 - Faulkner to Rahane, 2 runs, full toss outside off stump, Rahane lofts it gently over backward point and another easy two

48.1 - Faulkner to M Pandey, 1 run, widish yorker outside off stump, Pandey reaches out and squeezes it to third man

12 runs off that over with minimal risk. Good batting from Rahane.

47.6 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, almost a yorker, Rahane digs it out to deep square leg, Rahane wants the second run and he rushes back

47.5 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, that's a fine shot! Low full toss outside off stump, Rahane opens the face of the bat and slices it through point, Finch runs to his left and saves two with a slide near the boundary

47.4 - Boland to Rahane, FOUR, Boland misses the yorker by some distance and bowls a full toss on the stumps, Rahane slogs it over mid-wicket, the man in the deep had a lot of ground to cover running to his left and he had no chance. India need more of these

47.3 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, another full delivery from Boland, Rahane goes for the drive and once again loses his bottom hand grip, but it goes to deep extra-cover and gives India and Rahane a couple

47.2 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, Rahane anticipates the yorker and backs away, slices it square of the wicket on the off-side, big boundaries here at the Gabba and the second run was easily on

47.1 - Boland to Rahane, no run, excellent yorker and Rahane can't do much about it. Tries to squeeze it out, toe-ends it on the bounce to the keeper

Three more to go. How much more can India get? Australia have conceded just 23 runs in the last 4 overs. That's very good at this stage of the game.

46.6 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, full and outside off stump, Rahane drives it to sweeper cover

46.5 - Faulkner to Rahane, FOUR, lucky but Rahane and India won't mind. Full and outside off stump, Rahane slogs across the line, gets a thick edge that goes fine and past the keeper for four. Third man had no chance

46.4 - Faulkner to Rahane, no run, another pin-point yorker outside off stump, Rahane digs it out into the off-side, thinks about a run as he didn't know where the ball was, but Pandey sent him back

46.3 - Faulkner to M Pandey, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Pandey guides it to third man

46.2 - Faulkner to M Pandey, no run, oh that's nicely driven off the front foot, but straight to the man at cover. A couple of yards either side of the fielder would have been runs

46.1 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, yorker outside off stump, Rahane digs it out into the off-side, Pandey calls for a quick single but a direct-hit would have caught him well short at the striker's end

Manish Pandey, right handed bat, comes to the crease

45.6 - Boland to Dhoni, out Caught by Maxwell!! Maiden ODI wicket for Boland and it's a big one. Slower delivery very full and on the stumps, Dhoni goes for the slog, doesn't hit it that well, no elevation on it and it went flat and straight to the man at long-on, who didn't have to move an inch. This is great bowling from the Aussies. They are not allowing the Indians to score freely in the death overs. Dhoni c Maxwell b Boland 11(10)

Boland to Dhoni, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

45.5 - Boland to Rahane, 1 run, another full toss and Rahane plays a one-handed lofted drive to wide long-off

45.4 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, that's a stunning save by Maxi! He gets a great applause from the crowd. Low full toss on the stumps, Rahane drives it straight down the ground, Maxwell runs to his left from long-on, dives full length and stops it with his left hand, while finishing the dive, he also managed to keep his right hand just inside the rope to save two runs

45.3 - Boland to Dhoni, 1 run, good yorker outside off stump, Dhoni toe-ends the drive to long-off

45.2 - Boland to Dhoni, 2 runs, slower delivery on the leg stump, Dhoni works it round the corner through square leg and with his skating shoes on, the second run wasn't tough at all for Dhoni

45.1 - Boland to Dhoni, no run, low full toss and Dhoni is kind enough to drive it straight back to the bowler

44.6 - Faulkner to Rahane, no run, now a mighty swing across the line, full and outside off stump, Rahane loses his shape and makes no contact with the ball. Just 5 runs in that over, a good one for the Aussies

44.5 - Faulkner to Rahane, no run, oh how did that miss the sticks? Rahane was almost bowled there. Thanks to the Gabba bounce that it just went over the stumps. The back-of-the-hand slower ball, Rahane walks across and tries to help it fine past short fine leg and misses

44.4 - Faulkner to Dhoni, 1 run, low full toss and Dhoni tries to slice it past backward point, but he hits this very fine and straight to third man

44.3 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, oh Rahane! Cover would have been a better option with this ball being full and outside off stump, Rahane tries to slog across the line and in the end toe-ends it along the ground to long-on

A few dark clouds are hovering over the ground.

44.2 - Faulkner to Dhoni, 1 run, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Dhoni works to mid-wicket

44.1 - Faulkner to Dhoni, 2 runs, short of length delivery on the off stump, Dhoni hops and tucks this through square leg, quickly takes the first run and calls Rahane through for the second as well. He's quick between the wickets

43.4 - Boland to Rahane, wide, Boland gets greedy and tries another slower ball, but he drops this short and it goes down the leg-side

43.3 - Boland to Rahane, no run, oh the slog from Rahane and he fails to make contact. He swung right across the line of this slower delivery and luckily for him it was outside off stump

43.2 - Boland to Rahane, no run, full and outside off stump, Rahane drives and picks out cover

43.1 - Boland to Rahane, 2 runs, low full toss, sweetly driven past the bowler, but long-off cuts it off, the big boundary easily allows the batsmen to complete two

42.6 - Faulkner to Dhoni, 2 runs, that was short and Dhoni had a lot of time to play, so much so that he could play a forehand tennis smash, sends it through mid-wicket and the man in the deep runs to his left and tidies up

42.5 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, very full from over the wicket, Faulkner drives it back towards the bowler, who jumps and tries to stop it in his followthrough, it bursts through his hands and goes towards mid-off allowing the single

42.4 - Faulkner to Dhoni, 1 run, the short delivery from Faulkner and Dhoni is good with his pull/hook, sends this to deep backward square leg and opens his account

42.3 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, length delivery on the leg stump, Rahane works it away through backward square leg

MS Dhoni, right handed bat, comes to the crease

42.2 - Faulkner to Rahane, out Rohit Run Out!! Oh that's a dreadul end to a fantastic innings from Rohit Sharma. So unlucky! The slower ball goes very full from Faulkner, Rahane drives it hard and straight down the pitch, Faulkner, from round the wicket, puts his right hand out in his followthrough and gets a fingertip on it in an attempt to stop the ball. Rohit was outside the crease looking for a run and it crashes into the sticks at the bowler's end. Rohit swings his gloves in disappointment as he walks off. The TV umpire was not needed as it was quite evident that Faulkner got a hand on it. Rohit run out (Faulkner) 124(127) [4s-11 6s-3]

Faulkner to Rahane, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

Rahane pulls out as Faulkner was about to deliver.

42.1 - Faulkner to Rahane, SIX, down the track and baaaang! He was on one leg when he met with the ball but the balance was so good. Length delivery right in the slot, Rahane jumped out of the crease and lofted it handsomely back over the bowler's head for a maximum

41.6 - Boland to Rahane, 1 run, this is full and outside off stump, Rahane opens the face of the bat and slices it fine, Richardson dives to his left at short third man and saves three for his side

41.5 - Boland to Rahane, no run, another good yorker from Boland, this is outside off stump, Rahane opens the face of the bat and guides it straight to short third man

41.4 - Boland to Rohit, 1 run, that's almost a yorker, drilled along the ground to long-on

41.4 - Boland to Rohit, wide, why try the slower balls when you have a decent yorker Boland. He sprays this down the leg-side, Rohit initially thought about helping it on its way after getting inside the line and then decided to leave it all alone. Sensible because Rohit would not have had the pace on the ball to work with on that occasion

41.3 - Boland to Rahane, 1 run, Boland is known for his yorker and he almost nails one, this is just dug out into the off-side by Jinks

41.2 - Boland to Rohit, 1 run, full and on the stumps, Rohit drives it down to long-on

41.2 - Boland to Rohit, wide, Boland attempts the slower ball bumper, but it goes too high

41.1 - Boland to Rohit, FOUR, now that is some shot from Rohit Sharma! Gee he's gifted with a lot of talent. Can't keep the word talent away from Rohit Sharma. Not many would have played that shot with such ease. Full and outside off stump, Rohit just slices the lofted-drive and it almost cleared the deep extra-cover fence

Scott Boland [6.0-0-31-0] is back into the attack

40.6 - Faulkner to Rohit, 1 run, full and outside off, Rohit drives through cover and keeps the strike

40.5 - Faulkner to Rohit, 2 runs, mistimed pull but safe! Short and darted into the batsman, Rohit pulls sans any timing and to his delight, it lands safely in the unmanned deep mid-wicket region. Calls for a double and makes it in time, beating the throw from the fielder. Wade was quick to whip the bails but Rohit was comfortably in

40.4 - Faulkner to Rohit, no run, play and a miss! Slower shortish delivery outside off, Rohit tries to flay that square on the off-side, beaten on the top-edge

40.3 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, walks across the stumps and bunts this fullish delivery in front of long-on

39.6 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, 1 run, pitched fuller and straighter around off, Rahane drives with a straight bat, down to long-on again

39.5 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, 1 run, errs in line yet again. I'm pretty sure Rohit has scored majority of his runs off Richardson's bowling. Sliding down leg and Rohit helps it to fine leg

39.4 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, 1 run, full on the stumps, Rahane drives it to long-on

39.3 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, no run, down leg again, Rahane misses on the flick

39.2 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, FOUR, drifting into the pads, Rahane helps it with a glance down to fine leg. Hastings rushes hard and puts in the dive but to no avail. Back-to-back boundaries for Rahane

39.1 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, FOUR, ah, shot! Rahane dances down the track and drives this full ball uppishly over a leaping short cover, raced away in a hurry

38.6 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, CTRL C + CTRL V of the previous delivery, just that Rohit placed it a bit finer than the previous one

38.5 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, wow! That never looked like a boundary, but Rohit has timed the pants off it. Jumps on the back foot and plays a one-legged pull behind backward square, the fielder was too deep at square leg and hence he couldn't prevent the boundary

38.4 - Hastings to Rahane, 1 run, too straight from Hastings, Rahane lofts it handsomely to the left of long-on

38.3 - Hastings to Rahane, no run, drags his length back and keeps it around that nagging corner, in the corridor of uncertainty. Rahane stays firm at the crease and tries to dab it down to third man, beaten on the top-edge

38.3 - Hastings to Rahane, wide, full and well wide of off, just beside the tramline, Rahane flashes hard and misses

38.2 - Hastings to Rohit, 1 run, slightly fuller outside off, driven to long-off

38.1 - Hastings to Rahane, 1 run, dropped! Was a tough one though! Full and straight from Hastings, Rahane drives it uppishly back at the bowler who sticks his right hand to grab that. The ball thuds his palm and deflects towards mid-on. Hastings wears a disappointed look on his face, should have caught that by Australian fielding standards!

John Hastings [6.0-0-30-0] is back into the attack

37.6 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, no run, pitched fuller just outside off, driven firmly to the fieldsman at mid-off

37.5 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, 1 run, no, no, no! Not again. Rahane flicks this to long leg and thinks of a second - only for a fleeting moment. Rohit responds but Rahane was quick to realise and send his partner back in time

37.4 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, 1 run, yorker targetting the stumps, Rohit squeezes it square on the leg-side

37.3 - Kane Richardson to Rahane, 1 run, walks forward and across to drive this full ball past the non-striker, easy as you like!

37.2 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, 1 run, straying on the pads again, clipped wristily in front of mid-wicket

37.1 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, 2 runs, full and slipping into the pads, Rohit uses his rubber wrists to flick that behind square leg, nabs a duo of runs

Kane Richardson [6.0-1-44-0] is back into the attack

36.6 - Joel Paris to Rohit, 1 run, shortish outside off, Rohit steers towards the same man again

36.5 - Joel Paris to Rahane, 1 run, stab down to third man, that fieldsman has been kept busy all day

36.4 - Joel Paris to Rohit, 1 run, Rohit Sharma - you little beauty! He just loves batting against Australia, isn't it? This is his 10th ODI hundred and guess what! 5 of them have come against the mighty Aussies. Back-to-back hundreds too. Another daddy ton waiting? Remember he has the ability to turn tons into big scores and to add to your excitement (Rohit's fans to be precise) each time Kohli has been run out (when batting along with Rohit), the hitman went onto score a double hundred. Gets there with a dab down to third man. Sprints to the other end, jumps high in the air, pumps his fist and gets a hug from his partner. Huge roar from Indian fans present at the Gabba. Well played Rohit!

36.3 - Joel Paris to Rahane, 1 run, sensible batting this from Rahane! Waits back and angles it down to third man

36.2 - Joel Paris to Rahane, FOUR, that's Rahane for you! Saw that a lot during IND-RSA game in the World Cup. Shimmes down the track and smashes it through mid-wicket, such sweet timer of the ball is Rahane!

36.1 - Joel Paris to Rahane, no run, back of a length around fifth stump channel, Rahane jumps back and guides with an open bat face to the left of point

34.6 - Joel Paris to Rahane, 1 run, drifts this one into Rahane's pads, worked away round the corner for a single

34.5 - Joel Paris to Rahane, no run, back of a length and angled across. Rahane was trying to chop that behind square but was beaten on the outside edge, beaten for the pace I reckon

33.6 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, Rahane has gone hard on this one. Full outside off, Rahane crunches the drive but to no avail. Fielder at short cover throws himself to his right and denies Rahane a boundary

33.5 - Faulkner to Rohit, 1 run, Rohit emulates Rahane. Playing with soft hands and lifting it over the bowler but this time skipper Smith is in situ at mid-on to cut that off, ran to his left and prevented a certain boundary

33.4 - Faulkner to Rohit, no run, on the stumps, Rohit turns it towards square leg

33.3 - Faulkner to Rahane, 1 run, fullish outside off, Rahane finds the gap through cover with a well-timed drive, only a single on offer though

33.2 - Faulkner to Rahane, FOUR, first boundary for Rahane! Silky stuff from Rahane. "Didn't look to hit the ball hard", as the legendary VVS affirms on air. Just lifted it nonchalantly back over the bowler, couple of bounces and into the fence

33.1 - Faulkner to Rohit, 1 run, goes wider of the crease and slings it in around 124kmph, driven gently towards long-off

James Faulkner [3.0-0-16-0] is back into the attack

32.6 - Joel Paris to Rahane, 2 runs, angled in from a good length, Rahane tucks off his hips and calls for a double, the fielder was a bit too deep and hence Rahane was interested in the second run, sensible!

32.5 - Joel Paris to Rahane, no run, the short of length stuff continues from the Aussie bowlers. It certainly proved worthy in this game. Rahane hangs back and steered it to the right of Wade who dives and prevents a single

30.4 - Joel Paris to Rohit, 1 run, full and outside off, driven down to long-off

30.3 - Joel Paris to Rohit, no run, huge appeal! For caught behind and the Australians can't believe it. Rohit has nicked it. But the umpire didn't spot it though. Pithced on a good length, around 138ks and angled across from Rohit who was trying to push with laden feet. The appeal was strong and in unison but Rohit stood his ground - as if nothing happened. Luck, luck, luck, Rohit! He certainly needs some of that

30.2 - Joel Paris to Rahane, 1 run, on the hips of Rahane and that's easily tucked through backward square leg

30.1 - Joel Paris to Rohit, 3 runs, Paris comes in for his second burst and offers width straightaway. Pitched full too, Rohit creams the drive through extra cover. Finch dives to his right in the deep and prevents the boundary, good job that!

28.4 - Hastings to Rohit, 1 run, stretches out to meet a fullish ball and carves it down to third man

28.2 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, throws his bat hard on a back of a length delivery, the top-edge flies away fine. Fine enough to beat third man. The merits of not withholding anything. His hands came down hard in an attempt to strangle it through the off-side

26.5 - Hastings to Rahane, no run, pushed on the up to point

26.4 - Hastings to Rohit, 1 run, hitting the back of a length, Rohit opens the bat-face and guides it to the left of backward point. There is a diving stop but by then the single had been taken

25.6 - Boland to Rohit, 1 run, fraction full and Rohit tilts his upper-body forward, eases into the push down to long-off

25.5 - Boland to Rahane, 1 run, so trust-worthy this bounce. Will never betray you. Rahane backs on that fact and doesn't hesitate to play away from the body. Short of length delivery glided down to third man

24.6 - Hastings to Rohit, 2 runs, lavish. Very, very pleasant. Fraction full and he lays into it. Drives it on the up past extra-cover. Richardson rushes around from long-off, gathers and javelin-throws it. Not a bad arm, is it?

24.5 - Hastings to Rohit, no run, back of a length delivery arrowed in on middle, defended from the crease

24.4 - Hastings to Rohit, FOUR, he deserves this, does Rohit. That teensy bit of luck. Length ball outside off, aims an expansive cover-drive but chops it off the inside edge. Nearly painted off-stump on the way through

John Hastings [3.0-0-10-0] is back into the attack

Ajinkya Rahane, right handed bat, comes to the crease

23.5 - Boland to Kohli, out Kohli Run Out!! 1 run completed. This is bizarre. I mean how many times there will be a run-out with these two. It's so ridiculous that it's almost laughable. Short ball which was pulled behind square, Kohli was always going for two. Didn't spot any hesitation so it comes down to bad judgement I guess. Richardson swoops in from fine leg, rifles it straight over the stumps, Wade collects and whips the bails. Kohli is atleast 6 inches short despite a valiant dive. Kohli run out (Kane Richardson/Wade) 59(67) [4s-4]

Boland to Kohli, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

22.4 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, SIX, bazooka! Oh he's a missile launcher. Loads up the tank, gets it on a half-volley and fires it straight back. Brilliant flourish of the arms and immaculate timing. Richardson looks like a scared child

22.3 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, no run, back of a length delivery, stands tall and blocks

22.3 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, wide, gravitates down the leg-side. Rohit attempts to whip it away but fails to connect

20.5 - Kane Richardson to Kohli, 2 runs, picks the length ball from middle and off and whips it through mid-wicket. Knew exactly where the fielder was, computed the time required for a second and hared back

20.4 - Kane Richardson to Rohit, 1 run, twists his wrists on the square cut to keep it under control and hits it nicely square of the wicket. Deep cover has to rush across to keep the scoring to a single

18.4 - Kane Richardson to Kohli, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside off, steered down to third man

18.3 - Kane Richardson to Kohli, 2 runs, short of length delivery outside off, Kohli rides the bounce and cuts it behind backward point. THere is a dive but only results in finger tips on the ball to parry it towards third man
