 Aus 215-6 (38.1 ovs) vs India 295-6 | Scorecard

Yadav continues despite a poor last over. He bowls a quick delivery to Maxwell, who is late on the shot and is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down. A few balls later, he has another appeal for LBW turned down this time the ball slipping down the leg side against Marsh.

The last ball is hit straight to Ishant at mid-on who lets it go through his leg to give away two runs.

Against the run of play, India are rewarded with a lucky wicket as Marsh is run out. Maxwell hits a good drive through the cover as Umesh sprints after it and sent a flat throw back to the keeper as Marsh is caught napping, going for the third run and is run out for 17.

A crucial breakthrough for India as Australia are reduced to 204 for five in 35.1 overs.

Matthew Wade is the new batsman as Sran bowls a full delivery on the pads to let the new batsman off the hook with a single. Maxwell also picks one as just four runs come from the over.

The scoring rate has taken a dip with India's pacers bowling a good line and length to Maxwell, managing to dry up the boundaries and build up some pressure.

Jadeja has left four overs left, maybe Dhoni not wanting to risk him against Maxwell at this stage.

Maxwell attempts a wild shot against Sran as he chips down the track but is beaten all ends up. Just five singles from the over as Australia reach 215 for five in 38 overs, with another 81 needed from 12 overs for victory.
