- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 the short fine-leg shows great anticipation and takes a simple catch in the end!. Rohit goes for a premeditated scoop, it doesn't quite come onto the bat, he doesn't get all of it and ends up spooning it to short fine-leg, who was ready for it before the shot was even completed 14/112.2 Rahul backs away to go through the off side but the bowler does well to follow him, cramping him for the room he was trying to make and he only gets it off the bottom of the bat to spoon a simple catch to mid-off 92/48.4 down the track, gets to the pitch but flicks it aerially straight down long-on's throat. Zampa got a hint of drift which perhaps resulted in Kohli dragging the ball to the leg side when he may have preferred going straight over the bowler's head 69/29.6 Pant has run himself out after a brilliant piece of fielding! quicker one outside off, Pant skips down the track and cuts it off the middle of the bat but makes the mistake of running with the shot before it had beaten the diving fielder, who quickly gathered himself and lobbed the ball to the keeper to find him well short. Helped that it was to Behrendorff's right side, which is his left 80/312.6 Coulter-Nile barges through the defences of Karthik. He dares to shimmy down the pitch, Coulter-Nile hits a hard length and gets it to move back in slightly. Karthik, having left his crease, misses it altogether and is bowled through the gate. 94/514.6 Spliced in the air to Maxwell at backward point. Back of a length and outside off, the ball does not come onto the bat either, Krunal aims a pull over midwicket but ends up spooning a catch to Maxwell 100/616.5 shuffles across and this was waiting to happen. Caught plumb in front to a straight, quick ball at 144 kmph and doesn't even bother to review it 109/7Extras11 (lb 2, w 9)TOTAL126/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Rohit Sharma, 2.3 ov), 2-69 (Virat Kohli, 8.4 ov), 3-80 (Rishabh Pant, 9.6 ov), 4-92 (KL Rahul, 12.2 ov), 5-94 (Dinesh Karthik, 12.6 ov), 6-100 (Krunal Pandya, 14.6 ov), 7-109 (Umesh Yadav, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 terrible mix up leads to Short's exit. It was clipped to fine-leg's left, a comfortable couple was on offer, Short turned for it but Handscomb decided against after initially calling him, there was a lot of hesitation with the two players nearly mid-pitch and it resulted in disaster for Australia 101/41.6 disaster for Australia! full on the pads, clipped straight to squareleg, there wasn't a run there, D'Arcy short yelled no as Stoinis took off for some reason and fell inches short as Chahal whipped the bails off at the non striker's end 5/12.1 struck on the pad and given! The ball angled in had Finch's number all summer and Bumrah hasn't forgotten as that was full, nipping back in, striking Finch quite low and it's umpires call even as Finch reviews. Two in two for India and suddenly India's total isn't looking so bad 5/213.3 tossed up outside off and Maxwell has holed out to long-off. Made him reach for it, there was a hint of turn as well as he ended up slicing it in the air and that ends what should be a match-winning innings, unless Australia blow it 89/318.5 Australia are losing their way here! That was short on middle, Handscomb shuffled across to try and help it along, it hurried on to him, the top edge went high into the night sky but a calm Dhoni was under it and took it with ease 113/616.2 and they are only going to get louder! Is there a way back for India still? Turner shuffles across and looks to sweep him fine, not the best idea against a wicket-to-wicket bowler like Krunal, and he is cleaned up 102/518.6 knocked him over with a searing yorker and for the first time in the match, India look to be firm favourites! 113/7Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL127/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Marcus Stoinis, 1.6 ov), 2-5 (Aaron Finch, 2.1 ov), 3-89 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.3 ov), 4-101 (D'Arcy Short, 15.2 ov), 5-102 (Ashton Turner, 16.2 ov), 6-113 (Peter Handscomb, 18.5 ov), 7-113 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 18.6 ov)
