Mathews has a close shave as he attempts a risky second run to thirdman and makes his crease just in time before an alert Dhoni initially looks to collect before letting it go and hit the stumps. A bit of fake fielding in that?

18-year-old off-spinner Washington, the seventh youngest player to debut for India in ODIs, comes into the attack the bowl the 14th over.
