6.10pm Innings break Brilliant performance from Pandya and Jadeja. Hardik Pandya on the flying mic: "We were expecting to score 260-270 but we always say when you try to score 60-70 you can end up getting 90. We kept our plans pretty simple and aimed for 60-65 and because of the shots we have we were able to get the extra 20-25." He got asked if he would bowl again today, he said "that's not going to happen" with a smile.

It was the third-best 6th wicket partnership for India in ODI cricket .

They have given India something to defend here albeit it is still 40 short of the average first innings score at this ground.

Karthik will be back for the start of the chase with Australia's new opening pair of Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne.

Eric: "After the IPL my mouth was watering at the prospect of Hardik and Jadeja finishing an innings together and they have not disappointed. Seriously impressed with Pandya at number 6, he must bat in the top 5 in the T20Is."

Muzzammil: "How fit are these guys really. Been playing for more than an hour and still comfortable enough to take 8 doubles in last two overs alone. Wow!"

300 up for India. Pandya equals his highest score.

Two balls for Pandya to get a hundred

Anand: "What does this say about the pitch ? A 280-300 pitch with India a fantastic slog or a 320-330 pitch with India trying to catch up ??" I think the latter. But we shall see

Finch is going to back Abbott in here
