8.47pm Just 16 runs off the last two overs for Australia, as Bumrah and Arshdeep put on a masterclass with yorkers and unhittable low full tosses. The ball swung nicely, too, but Australia's total of 186 is set up two impactful half-centuries. David slammed 74 in 38 balls by dominating the spinners, while Stoinis crashed 64 in 39 deliveries by favouring the off side. India didn't use Washington at all - perhaps due to an all-right combination ever since Head fell - and will have to chase 187 to level the series. Join us for the chase soon.

Arshdeep Singh to Stoinis, OUT, this time Rinku takes it cleanly. He's sitting at long-on - slightly wider than usual, I thought - and bagged this comfortably. Arshdeep swung this ball in considerably, and got it to land as a low full toss around off. Stoinis went flashing at it, but couldn't clear the comparatively longer boundary

Arshdeep Singh to Stoinis, FOUR, ramped over short third!! Short ball on the stumps, and Stoinis sways out of the way before upper cutting it late. A one-bounce four as the fielder at short third - and everyone else - can only watch the ball sail
Long-on in, and man back at deep backward point.

Arshdeep Singh to Stoinis, FOUR, sliced aerially to deep backward point again. It's also Stoinis' fifty. Arshdeep nearly gets his attempted yorker right, but that's how small the margins are. The ball angles across to arrive just outside off, and Stoinis opens the face of the bat to send it flying

Arshdeep Singh to Stoinis, 1 run, good low catch by the sub fielder Rinku!! He moves forward and goes low to nab it just off the ground. But the umpires will confirm with their TV colleague before officially giving Stoinis out. And, and... the first impression is of the ball touching the ground as it dips into his hands. Yup, the TV umpire says the ball has made contact with the ground. So Stoinis survives. He got a lowish full toss angling across, as the ball arrived on off, and he went hoicking at it
Arshdeep back.
