- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Hodge has the last laugh against Rohit! Very soft dismissal, tossed up outside off, Rohit aims to clear cover, he gets an outside edge that tamely lobs up to point 6/18.2 Rahane had steered quite a few to third man with success earlier but he wasn't so lucky this time, Bollinger got a nice angle across the right-hander, Rahane looked to guide this to third man, cramped for room and outside edge easily taken by the keeper 53/36.2 Muirhead strikes second ball! He isn't afraid to toss this up, draws Kohli out of the crease and he lofts down the ground, he can't clear long-off though, taken by White at the edge of the circle 46/219.1 Yuvraj fails to last till the end but he'll go back feeling very satisfied nevertheless, this was pitched up outside off, he scoops this straight to Maxwell at long-off, a bit more on it and he would have cleared the rope 152/611.3 finds long-on! India have lost the form batsman, he went down the track and looked to clear long-on but didn't get the elevation, easy catch for Finch 66/418.3 Starc comes round the wicket to Dhoni and fires that on the stumps, Dhoni made room to clear cover and missed, the ball hits the middle stump 150/519.5 soft dismissal, Ashwin went down the pitch and failed to put away a full toss, the ball drops on the pitch but they run anyway, Jadeja was never going to beat Watson to it, he charges at the stumps and removes the bails 158/7Extras17 (lb 6, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL159/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Rohit Sharma, 0.4 ov), 2-46 (Virat Kohli, 6.2 ov), 3-53 (Ajinkya Rahane, 8.2 ov), 4-66 (Suresh Raina, 11.3 ov), 5-150 (MS Dhoni, 18.3 ov), 6-152 (Yuvraj Singh, 19.1 ov), 7-158 (Ravindra Jadeja, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 this was miscued! Tossed up by Ashwin and Finch gets on his knee looking to slog, gets the top edge behind the bowler, Kohli jogs from mid-on and takes the skier 13/17.4 the impatience gets to Warner! He tries to break free, gets on his knee to slog but mistimes it to behind midwicket, Rohit runs forward from deep midwicket and hangs on falling forward 44/44.2 that's two batsmen caught within the circle, this was pitched up outside off and he looked to clear the infield, mistimed it and Jadeja took it jogging a few yards to his left from mid-off 19/25.1 Was he bowled or not? Dhoni was up to the stumps, Mohit cramped Watson for room as he looked to angle it to third man, the ball came in and the leg lights were flashing, even Dhoni wasn't sure if the ball deflected off him to the stumps instead, Watson stands his ground and the umpires check with the third umpire, it's confirmed that the ball hit the top of the stumps first 21/39.1 freak dismissal for Maxwell! Ashwin comes round the wicket, Maxwell gets cheeky and looks to play the reverse sweep, he gets in position but the execution was all haywire, exposed all three stumps and it was the carrom ball that shaved the leg stu,p, he was on the floor after losing balance 55/510.3 the captain goes, Bailey tries to clear the rope again but perishes, this was tossed on middle and he slogged but found deep midwicket 63/615.2 another slog, another wicket, gets on his knee and plays against the turn, two men converge but Jadeja hangs on 83/913.2 yet another Australian perishes to the slog! This time it's Haddin trying to slog against the turn and it's miscued towards deep square leg, Bhubi holds on 75/714.3 Appeal for a run out and Starc's in trouble! Hodge worked this to point and set off but Starc had to hurry, the throw was to the keeper and the LED in the stumps lit up before Dhoni could gather and whip the bails, even when he broke the bails Starc was short of his ground so he was indeed out, the flashlight made it confusing though 79/816.2 Dhoni takes the catch to complete the mauling, tossed up by Ashwin an.d Muirhead made room to cut, thick outside edge and Dhoni knew it 86/10Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL86 all out (16.2 Overs, RR: 5.26)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Aaron Finch, 3.2 ov), 2-19 (Cameron White, 4.2 ov), 3-21 (Shane Watson, 5.1 ov), 4-44 (David Warner, 7.4 ov), 5-55 (Glenn Maxwell, 9.1 ov), 6-63 (George Bailey, 10.3 ov), 7-75 (Brad Haddin, 13.2 ov), 8-79 (Mitchell Starc, 14.3 ov), 9-83 (Brad Hodge, 15.2 ov), 10-86 (James Muirhead, 16.2 ov)
