END OF OVER:
20 | 6 Runs 3 Wkts | IND: 174/9 | RR: 8.70

  • Avesh Khan1 (1b)
  • Jason Behrendorff4-0-32-2
  • Ben Dwarshuis4-0-40-3

8.38pm Top finish from Australia. They've kept India to 45 for 5 in the last five overs. Jason Behrendorff and Ben Dwarshuis, who was playing on his second T20I, were spot on with their variations during this phase. For India, Gaikwad started slowly, but Rinku and Jitesh accelerated, taking them to 174. Australia need 175 to square the series. Vishal will be back with you for the second innings. Cheers

Behrendorff to Ravi Bishnoi, 1 run, OUT, very full on middle and leg, hoicked away into the leg side. Bishnoi scampers back for the second and why not! But he's caught short on the second at the striker's end, despite a full-length dive. Caught well short

Ravi Bishnoi run out 4 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 133.33

Behrendorff to Singh, OUT, yorker from Benrendroff. He gets it to tail in from left-arm over the wicket and has Rinku falling over slightly. Pinged on the back pad. No bat involved. Given out lbw. Rinku has asked for a review. It would've just clipped leg stump, enough for umpire Madanagopal's on-field out call to be upheld. No fifty for Rinku

Dwarshuis to Patel, OUT, Sangha takes it at the edge of the long-on fence. Sangha is confident that he's taken it. The on-field umpires refer it to the TV umpire to confirm it. Yep, that's a clean catch. Axar has to depart for a duck. Banged in short and cramps him for room, who pulls weakly to Sangha
