- Aus 139-2 (25 ovs) vs India 309-3 | SCORECARD

The Indian spinners are proving be totally ineffective on this flat wicket as Australia continue to milk them around with considerable ease. Six runs from Jadeja's fourth over as Bailey brings up his half-century, from 60 balls.

Not the best of starts for Ashwin with the ball, having given away 17 runs in his first two overs. He manages to pull things back somewhat as he concedes just five runs in his third over.

But Australia's batsmen are having no problems at all as they easily pick six singles off Jadeja's fifth over.

Ashwin also keeps leaking runs as after conceding three singles off his first four balls, Bailey reverse sweeps him through thirdman region for a four.

India need to break this partnership within the next few or else the two Australian batsmen look set to take this match away from India's grasp. They have made batting look so easy out in the middle as runs are coming freely.

Smith also completes his ninth ODI fifty from 55 balls with another easy single before Bailey steals another two runs from the last ball of Jadeja's sixth over.

At the halfway stage, Australia have reached 139 for two in 25 overs, with another 171 needed from 150 balls for victory.

Bailey has looked quite positive to score 65 from 73 balls, while Smith has made 52 from 56 balls with the duo having put on 118 runs for the third wicket so far.
