January 18, 2015  14:50
 Aus 115-2 (23 ovs) vs India 267-8 | Scorecard

While Watson (39 from 35 balls) has looked to play positive, Finch's strike rate has dipped alarmingly (38 from 69 balls) in the last few overs.

Patel bowls another tidy over, giving away three runs, as India employ some weird field placing including fielders placed at mid-off and long-off simultaneously.

The two spinners rushing through their overs. Ashwin nearly bowls another tidy over but is ruined by a boundary by Finch through the covers.

Dhoni's strange tactics have paid off. A packed off-side field meant that Watson was forced to hit across the line as he attempted the slog sweep against Patel but missed and is bowled after a quickfire 41 from 39 balls.

Steve Smith blocks the last two deliveries as Patel ends another good over, his figures currently read: 6-0-22-1.
