Aus 231-6 (40 ovs) vs India 295-6 | Scorecard

Ishant makes another crucial breakthrough. The pressure pays for the Indians as Wade looks to break the shackles but top edges the pull shot and is caught on the leg side for six.

Australia in a spot of bother at 215 for six in 38.1 overs, and Maxwell, batting on 39 from 43 balls, holds the key at this stage with only the lower order to follow.

James Faulkner is a capable batsman and he has played a few crucial innings with the bat in ODIs and against the Indians. He relishes batting in such situations and most Australians call him the finisher.

He nearly inside edges it back on to his stumps as Dhoni dives to his left to keep it down to one.

India are on top at the moment but they need to be wary of Maxwell.

Maxwell decides to target the young Sran as he makes room and tonks his first ball over covers for a four. He places the next ball smartly on the leg side for two runs before he is beaten by one which bounces a bit more, as Dhoni appeals but it is turned down.

Maxwell makes room and slaps it over the off-side and it carries all the way for a six to raise his fifty from as many balls.

Australia are 231 for six in 40 overs with another 65 needed from the last 10 overs for victory.
