9:12pm Alright, we're ready for the chase. It's Finch and Short coming out to open. Wade is slated to bat No. 3. Chahar with the ball.

WATCH: Henriques gets KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya (India subcontinent only)

That's a big finish for India, but we await to see how bad Jadeja's injury - which appears to be a hamstring - is and whether he can bowl. India's badly lost momentum in the middle of that innings against excellent spells by Zampa and Henriques. Starc and Hazlewood didn't quite get it right in the last couple of overs and Jadeja found his range. It has given India something to bowl at - last year Australia comfortably chased 151 to beat Pakistan - but they might be bowler down. Varun will be back with your shortly for the start of the chase

WATCH: Hardik Pandya holes out to Steven Smith at long-off (India subcontinent only)

Elsewhere, East Bengal - coached by Robbie Fowler, formerly of Brisbane Roar - are off to a poor start in their maiden season in the ISL. Can they turn their fortunes around? Read more here.

Hazlewood to Jadeja, SIX, that's MASSIVE! Full outside off, Jadeja picks it up and swings it miles back over deep square leg. Almost onto the root of the stand

Jadeja is grabbing his hamstring He's down and stretching his right leg. The physio is out there. Jadeja is now getting his hamstring strapped up. This doesn't look great news, at least for his bowling role tonight. He's going to resume...

KL Rahul finds long-on to fall for 51 (India subcontinent only)

What a spell from Henriques. Don't think him taking 3 for 22 would have been high on people's expectations tonight.

Henriques to Jadeja, 1 run, short outside off, square drives to deep point

Predicted score down to 144

16.5

Henriques to Pandya, OUT, high...very high, and taken at long-off! Pandya is cut off before he can really get going, gets all height on this one, low down on the bat, Smith has plenty of time to get underneath it

16.4

Henriques to Pandya, 2 runs, Abbott saves a six with a palm back! Almost a fantastic catch, but he couldn't flick it back up as we see so often now. Pandya launched it towards long-on, not quite with the distance needed. Abbott leaped on the rope and did very well

Two men very close to each other at cover on the edge of the circle

16.3
1
Henriques to Jadeja, 1 run, short outside off, driven wide of cover but the sweeper keeps them to a single

Three inside the circle on the off side...two of them behind square

Karan Patel: "Same old approach of dragging game in last overs and then going hard but will not work in every game especially when Starc is bowling 2 overs in the end."

1
Henriques to Pandya, 1 run, short outside off, crunched powerful towards cover where Finch does well to intercept
