Zampa in to bowl the 3rd over and Kohli finds the gap beautifully for a four!!! Oh the edge and that has gone behind to add four more to Rohit's tally. IND 26/1 after 3 overs
Hazlewood in to bowl the 2nd over and Kohli off the mark with a single. Leg byes for four more. India won't mind at all. The last ball is smashed for a six by Rohit!!! IND 16/1 after 2 overs
We are back live and the Australian fielders are on the pitch. They will fancy themselves to defend this total. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are coming out now. Sams will start the attack. A wide and Wade dives and saves 5 wides. Rohit off the mark with a single. Good lines maintained. The batters are not getting enough room to free their hands. Ohhhhhhh. Swats another ball for a single and that has gone straight up!!! Wade with the catch. Rahul departs. IND 5/1 after 1 over
Harshal to bowl the last over. Full toss and Tim David hits him for a six straightaway. Denies Sams a single next. He wants to stay on strike. Up in the aiiirrrrrr. And Rohit catches it. David goes. Nice comeback by Patel. Just 1 from the next two. Over. AUS 186/7 after 20 overs.
Bumrah in to bowl the 19th and that has gone to the rafters. What a strike by Sams. Overthrows for four more!! Not what India needed. Bad, bad runs to concede. Great paddle shot round the corner for another four to end the over. AUS 179/6 after 19 overs
On to the 18th over now and India will hope to restrict Australia under 150 from here. Bhuvi will bowl this one. Starts with a wide. Great footwork by Kohli to save a boundary. Great couple of balls by Bhuvi. The yorker goes wrong in the next ball and David has smacked that for a six!!! The next ball is also pulled for another six!!! A four to end the over. AUS 161/6 after 18 overs
Axar Patel was a riot of emotions. One moment, he would be throwing his hands in the air in anger. Next second, he would be holding his hands aloft in joy. He would slump to the ground in frustration; then the next ball he would leap in the air in ecstasy. It was a day when fortunes swung wildly. Cameron Green disdained him—five fours in total—but he did let the onslaught ruin his day. He terminated the well-set Josh Inglis and Matthew Wade in the same over after he had dismissed Aaron Finch and affected the run out of Glenn Maxwell. Wade’s wicket turned him delirious, not just because he had been Australia’s most devastating batsman in the series, but because it was a clever piece of bowling and a sharp bit of fielding. Released from wide off the crease, the ball angled in, landed back of length and stopped at the batsman to fox his attempted punch. The edge floated in the air, but it seemed destined to fall safely before Axar flung towards his left to snaffle the catch, before his emotions burst forth.
Hardik in to bowl the 16th. Starts with two dot balls. The third ball has also gone for no run but the fourth has been hit for a 6!! That's the first boundary after 20 balls. David places the last ball for a four. Just guided it. AUS 134/6 after 16 overs

Uffff!!! That has been caught and bowled. Absolute game changing over by Axar. Wade rolls his wrists and Patel digs down deep and takes a low catch. Absolute brilliance. AUS 117/6 after 13.5 overs
Axar Patel comes back in the attack and strikes immediately!! Inglis tries to go over but just finds the palms of skipper Rohit Sharma. Instant impact by Axar. AUS 115/5 after 13.1 overs
Harshal in to bowl the 13th and Tim David nonchalantly lofts it over the bowler's head for a six!!! And that's a no ball!!! Harshal is not having a good time in this series. A wide follows. 1 run leg byes. Better from the bowler. AUS 115/4 after 13 overs
Bumrah in to bowl the 11th and that's edged by Inglis for a four!! Unlucky. 3 runs from the next 4 balls. Over ends with 2 runs. AUS 95/4 after 11 overs
AND ANOTHER!!! Smith steps out to hit Chahal, completely misses the delivery and Karthik makes no mistake behind the stumps. Smith leaves after getting stumped. AUS 84/4 after 9.2 overs
Hardik in to bowl the 9th and some form of parity has returned with India finding a way in this match. Inglis cuts the 3rd ball for a four!!! AUS 83/3 after 9 overs
Chahal in to bowl the 8th over and is that a run out??? Did that hesitation cost Maxwell? That was a direct hit!!! Looks like the ball and Karthik's gloves have both taken the bails off. And yes. That's out. AUS 75/3 after 7.4 overs
A full T20 game or a truncated eight-over-a-side one,Cameron Green’s sole intention is to hit every ball out of the ground. The first ball he faced in the game was a full-ish, out-swinging ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He was in no mood for sighters of feelers. He swung hard and wild at the ball, but only managed to miscue the ball to extra cover. He was undeterred by the failure. The next ball veered onto his pads and he ferociously cracked it for a six over square-leg. The next ball was thundered through covers, like a right-handed Matthew Hayden. The introduction of spin could not unshackle him either—he would just rock back deep into the crease, manufacture some room for himself, and use his long reach to slap boundaries. Not even Jasprit Bumrah frazzled him—he coolly picked a couple of sixes and a four. One of the sixes was a pull shot wherein he fetched the ball from outside the off-stump over midwicket. A shot that few dare to imagine against the masterly seamer. Poor Axar, he was dismissed for three fours on the spin in his next over, as Green raced to his half-century in just 19 balls.
On to the last over inside the powerplay. Axar will bowl this one. 5 dots in a row and the last ball ends with a four. India won't mind though. AUS 66/2 after 6 overs
AND GONE!!!! Bhuvneshwar gets his revenge as he snaps up Green!!! India will be glad to see the back of him. What a knock, what a player Australia have on their hands. AUS 62/2 after 5 overs
The 4th over ended with 3 back to back fours by Green. On to the 5th now. Bhuvneshwar brought back. Single for Green and he brings up his 50 in just 19 balls. What a blistering knock. AUS 59/1 after 4.4 overs
Axar in to bowl the 4th and starts with conceding a 4. The third ball Finch tries to hit, gets it wrong and Hardik is under it to take a simple catch. AUS 44/1 after 3.3 overs
