- India 309-3 (50 ovs) vs Aus | SCORECARD


Against the run of play, India lose the wicket of Dhoni, who is caught at midwicket by Boland off Faulkner for 18. The Indian captain hit a four and a six in his 13-ball knock and was looking to get some quick runs before a sharp catch ended his vigil.

Ravindra Jadeja gets a promotion and he gets off the mark in smashing fashion, lofting a full delivery down the ground for a four past long-on.

The next ball is full and wide as Jadeja steers it past point and ends up stealing three runs to bring Rohit back on strike. Superb running between the two batsmen to pinch an extra run off Maxwell, at sweeper cover.

Rohit takes a quick single off the fifth ball and Jadeja picks one from the last ball to retain strike as Faulkner finishes with two for 60 from 10 overs.

Debutant Boland to bowl the final over of the innings. The first ball is right up as Jadeja drives it down to long-off for a single. Rohit looks to sweep Boland but gets a leading edge, infact of the back of the bat and it nearly carries all the way, falling just short for a four.

The next ball is full and Rohit is happy to free his arms and crash it straight back over the bowler's head for his seventh six. The fourth ball is a yorker and Rohit can only drive it down to long-off for a single.

A single for Jadeja to long-on and Rohit also does the same off the last ball as India finish on a huge 309 for three in their 50 overs.
