5.07pm India will be pleased with how they have pulled Australia back here. The visitors were 244 for 2 with 10 overs to go, and Glenn Maxwell was just warming up for the job ahead, after a superb opening stand between captain Aaron Finch and century-maker Usman Khawaja. India got their act together in those last 10 overs, though, and have kept Australia down to what looks like an achievable target. They will have to bat really well to get the 314 runs needed to wrap this series up, though. Back in just a short while for the chase

Usman Khawaja tells Matthew Hayden on the broadcast:"I was just batting. Not thinking too far ahead. Got 313 on the board, but now we have got to bowl and field well. First ODI hundred for Australia...it's nice to get three figures, but a win will feel much better. Don't want to get too far ahead, I suppose. We need to hit the stumps, and field well. Fast outfield, so we need to do all that we can. (Finch) Batting beautifully, and was unlucky not to get a hundred."

Bumrah to Stoinis, 1 run, full toss, and he hits it hard but cannot beat extra cover
49.5

Bumrah to Stoinis, FOUR, length, outside off, and he punches this through covers. Good shot, as he waited for it to come to him, and then just timed it through the off side. Was a change of pace again, and he picked it early!
49.4
0
Bumrah to Stoinis, no run, full, wide of off stump, but within the tramlines, as Stoinis fails to reach there. Good bowling, just 133kph

Bumrah to Carey, 1 run, fuller, down leg side, chane of pace too, and he plays it away towards long leg

Gupta ji: "Few people saying about testing Indian middle order, however I guess the middle order problem is wrongly interpreted. Their only problem is when batting first if there is top order collapse or to keep momentum after brilliant start from top order in high scoring game. In chases Indian middle order has done decent job barring one or two off cases"
