 India 230-2 (43 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Kohli, who was run out in the last match, nearly causes another run out but Rahane rejects the call for two at the last minute. Richardson bowls a short one which Rahane pulls square on the leg side for a four before taking a single to race to 43 from as many balls.

Boland bowls two dot balls to Rahane, who charges to the third for a single to fine leg. Two more singles before Kohli flicks the last ball behind square for two to take his score to 95.

Richardson will finish off early, in the 43rd over of the innings. Rahane chips down the track to the first ball but gets an edge which falls short of the short thirdman fielder. He gets only a single from the next ball to bring Kohli back on strike.

Kohli uses his bottom hand to good effect flicking a full delivery over midwicket for a four to take his score to 99. He brings up his 24th ODI century from 105 balls with a single on the leg side.

He was unlucky to miss a century in the first match in Perth but this time he has played another fine innings and got the hundred he so deserved.

Richardson misses his mark as he bowls a leg side wide and wicketkeeper Wade's fumble allows them to pick another extra run.

Two more singles make it 10 from the over as Richardson finishes with one for 48 in 10 overs.
