 India 207-2 (40 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Boland replaces Maxwell, who had one over left in his spell. Kohli mishits the second ball on the off-side slicing it high in the air but Marsh at sweeper cover fails to pick up the ball and misses a chance to take the catch.

Kohli charges down the track to the next ball and lofts it over long-on for a six followed by two singles. He again smartly taps the last ball on the gap in the leg side for two runs to take his score to 84 from 90 balls.

Rahane on the attack too as he lofts Faulkner over the fielder at mid-on for a four and takes a single from the last ball to retain strike.

Australia's pacers doing well to stop the boundaries as India deal in singles in the last few overs.

Rahane decides to take up matters in his own hands. He charges down the track to Boland and lofts him straight back over his head for a six. Five more singles make it 11 runs from the over.

India look set for another 300-plus total as they reach 207 for two in 40 overs with Kohli on 90 from 98 balls and Rahane on 37 from 40 balls.
