    5.5 chipped to cover! 132kph, good length, Dhawan advanced down the track to try and create a half-volley, he got there but played a strange shot, just checking a drive to Agar at cover, it was almost like he was giving catching practice and Agar could have caught it with his eyes closed. 26/1
    15.4 Given lbw! Gill takes his time but he finally reviews. Gill tried to sweep a delivery that pitched on off and slid on, it hit the front pad a fair way down and the umpire gave it out. Nothing on hot spot or RTS in terms of bat involved. Ball tracking says hitting in line and hitting the bails! It's umpire's call. Decision stands but India keep their two reviews 82/2
    31.6 ooh, Australia have reviewed for a caught-behind! Back of a length, straightening just a touch in the corridor. Kohli is looking initially to work this with the angle, I think, and then he's adjusting to the movement when the ball zips past his outside edge. Or has it kissed his edge? There's the tiniest of spikes on Ultra-Edge, but it's enough of a spike to reverse the on-field decision and send Kohli back. What a massive strike from Hazlewood! 152/5
    22.4 gone! Iyer was looking to force the pace there, trying to reverse some of the momentum Australia have built with these quiet overs. Full and quickish, on the stumps, and Iyer looks to make room to drive through - or maybe over - the covers. Ends up a little more leg-side of the ball than he wants, and the ball turns and he slices it into backward point's hands 114/3
    25.3 gone, that's not a good shot at all. It's quite full, it's on the stumps, and it's hugely risky to try and sweep those balls. This one passes under his bat, and he's been given out lbw. He's reviewed... Only bounce can save him, I think. No bat on it. Big stride forward, so that might help. Nope. It's hitting the top part of middle stump, so he'll have to be on his way. India lose a review too. Really poor choice of shot, I think 123/4

    5.1 Natarajan on the board. India's first wicket in Powerplays this series. What a moment for Natarajan. Not the most spectacular one. Not something you see when you dream of a maiden wicket. This is short, just outside off, Marnus wants to pull, but gets a bottom edge onto the wicket. This is short and angling away, could he have cut instead of pulled? 25/1
    25.3 holes out to long on! The dot balls on Green has built the pressure on Finch and he holes out> He's tried to launch this down the ground, he miscued to Dhawan at long on and he nearly spilled it but was able to hold on rolling to the ground 123/4
    11.2 got him! No 62-ball hundred today for Smith. Not the most aesthetically pleasing dismissal, but Thakur won't care. Back of a length, angling down leg, and Smith, who's shuffled a long way across as he always does, looks to glance it fine but only manages to tickle it to the keeper. Tons of bowlers have tried getting him out like that, or with a leg gully in place, and they've usually failed 56/2
    22.2 caught at midwicket! A pull shot picks out Dhawan! Back of a length, cross seam, similar to one in the previous over that he nailed, but this one he hit knee high to Dhawan. Big wicket 117/3
    30.5 caught at deep backward square! Superb catch by Jadeja! Full outside leg, he sweeps in the air, flat behind square, it curved in the air, Jadeja ran in from well behind square and took an excellent catch diving forward. Green departs 158/5
    37.4 gone, is he? That run wasn't on at all. They've gone up to the third umpire, but you'd think there's no need. Carey looked to sweep one pitching just outside leg, and missed, and the ball rolled into the square leg region. Carey sets off quickly, and he's sent back by Maxwell, but too late to beat the underarm throw to Rahul. Kohli was the fielder sprinting in from midwicket 210/6
    44.3 bam, the bails go flying all over the place. That elastic right arm goes beyond the vertical and whangs it full and fast, at the base of the stumps. Maxwell looks to make room and carve it through the covers, working against the angle. He misses, and Bumrah - who's bowled so well with no luck all this while - hits. A crucial, crucial blow 268/7
    47.1 and he gets the last recognised batsman! Boundaries were needed, and this ball - more or less in the slot, off-stumpish - had to be attacked. Made room to go over cover, but he simply couldn't find the elevation, and the fielder pouches it with both hands in front of his chest 278/9
    46.6 slower bouncer, and Thakur has the breakthrough. Third wicket for him. Gets up just around shoulder height, angling in and cramping Abbott for room, and he plays a half-hearted pull, only managing to lob it to the keeper off his glove. India's quicks have really pulled this back in the last three overs 278/8
    49.3 big appeal for lbw, given. Zampa shuffles across and Bumrah bowls it full and straight. He misses the flick, and it looked pretty plumb, given especially how deep he was in his crease, but Zampa has reviewed anyway. No edge on it. Both feet inside the crease, and it's smashing into leg stump, so India have wrapped up a victory that will bring them quite a bit of comfort, after five successive ODI losses, and seven in a row across formats. 289/10
