8.45pm Innings break Hardik lifts India to an imposing total of 208 for 6. That is India's highest T20I total against Australia. KL Rahul: "It's a good pitch. Takes a bit of time to get used to the bounce of the pitch." Hardik and KL underpin a huge total for India. Nathan Ellis was excellent with the ball. Australia need 209 to win. Deiva will be back for the start of the chase.

Ellis to Karthik, OUT, huge lbw appeal turned down. Australia review. Full and straight, DK was trying to whip square. No bat involved. Was it tailing past leg? He was very deep in the crease. Ball tracking says out! Three reds. Smashing leg stump. Good review. Ellis strikes again.
