- Aus 213-2 (36 ovs) vs India 309-3 | SCORECARD


Bhuvneshwar comes back as he has an appeal for LBW against Bailey turned down with the ball looking to slide down the leg side.

Bhuvi bowls a good first over in his second spell, conceding just two singles. India will need more such tight overs and hope they can make a breakthrough to bring themselves back into the contest.

Pacers from both ends now as Yadav is called back into the attack. Bailey crashes one through the covers where the fielder half stops it to keep it down to two and Bailey turns the next ball fine on the leg side for another followed by a single to take his score to 98.

In the next over, Bailey completes his century from 106 balls with two runs off  Bhuvneshwar with the second run coming courtesy of an overthrow. Superb innings from the former Australia ODI captain in the company of the current skipper!

He was lucky to be ruled not out off the first delivery he faced Sran, when he had got a glove but the umpire ruled in his favour.

The match is looking completely in Australia's grasp as they reach 213 for two in 36 overs with another 97 needed from 14 overs for victory.
