12:57 IST: It is a bright and sunny day with no chances of rain, although it is difficult to predict the weather. Let's hope it remains bright and sunny and we can get a full game here in Indore.
12:55 IST: Hello and welcome to the third one-day played between India and Australia at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.
Australia's plight could easily be gauged from the fact that eight of their batsmen could not touch double-digit scores in Chennai, while only four of them could score more than 10 runs in Kolkata. The visitors need David Warner to fire at top of the order and Glenn Maxwell to see the side through in the middle order. These are no alien conditions for them, having played for their IPL franchises for the last few years.
