India 96-3 (11 ovs); D/L Target: 174 in 17 ovs | Scorecard

Medium pacer Marcus Stoinis comes into the attack. Kohli picks one from the first ball before Dhawans lofts the next wide of long-off for two runs and then picks a single.

Stoinis drops short as Kohli goes for the pull but is beaten by the lack of pace and Dhawan has to wait before he plays the pull for another run to deep square leg.

The next ball is a quick bouncer but it goes over Kohli and is called a wide.

The last ball is wide as Kohli throws his bat and gets a thick outside edge wide of thirdman for a couple.

Make or break time for India with the asking rate creeping up to 12.

Zampa continues as Dhawan, on 65 from 37 balls, hits one straight back but the bowler is unable to hold on to the sharp chance on his follow through.

Dhawan then drives the third ball for a single and Zampa bowls another dot ball to Kohli, who attempts the cross batted slog but fails to find the gap.

A desperate Kohli jumps down the track but fails to get hold of it and is caught by the fielder at short thirdman.

Kohli walks back after a struggling four from eight balls to leave India in trouble on 94 for three, in the 11th over.

India need 78 from six overs for victory.
