Starc's double strike checks India's charge
January 18, 2015  12:25
 India 237-6 (45 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Starc claims the big wicket of Dhoni, who inside edges the slower ball back on to his stumps as he tries the big heave to be bowled for 19.

That is a very wicket under the circumstances considering that Dhoni is capable of producing the big hits in the last few overs.

Axar Patel comes in to bat at No. 7 ahead of Ashwin but he last just two balls before he is trapped leg before wicket by a full swinging delivery. The ball came in sharply into the left-hander, whose bat was nowhere close to the ball as India are in danger of losing their way in the last few overs.

Interestingly, Hawk Eye shows the ball might have missed the leg stump by a big margin but no DRS being used in the series so India can't review it.

A double wicket maiden from Starc, whose figures are excellent so far, having taken four for 39 in nine overs including two maidens.

India are 237 for six in 45 overs and their hopes rest on Rohit, who is batting on 127 from 131 balls with Ashwin at the other end.
