 India 239-2 (45 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

India looking a dash at the 300-mark now and the two batsmen are taking a few chances here. Five singles from the first five balls before Kohli despatches Boland over midwicket for a six to make it 11 from the over.

In the next over, Rahane pulls Hastings fine on the leg side for two runs to bring up his 50, from 54 balls.

He chips down the track to the next ball and lofts it down the ground as Smith running to his right at long-on takes a superb catch. His momentum carries him over the ropes as he takes the catch but he shows good presence of mind to flick it back to Maxwell, who pouches it.

Rahane walks back for 50 after putting 109 runs for the third wicket with Kohli.

Kohli continues to keep the runs coming as he flicks Hastings on the leg side for two runs before a misfield gives him a boundary off the next delivery.

He strikes the last ball powerfully through the off-side but Bailey makes a good stop to save some runs for his side.

India are 249 for three in 45 overs with Kohli on 115 and Dhoni yet to face a delivery. Can they get past the 300-run mark? 55 needed from five overs to get there...
