8. Usman Khawaja out after maiden century

India lost both the openers early in the chase. Shikhar Dhawan scored just one run before he was caught by Glenn Maxwell off Jhye Richardson. Rohit Sharma (14) then fell LBW to Pat Cummins.

13. MS Dhoni out for 26
)
MS Dhoni's expression after being bowled said it all. He looked set for a big inning and was dismissed against the run of the play. Dhoni gave himself some room to play the drive against a ball that was too full. All he managed was a thick inside edge - the ball hit his pads and then rolled back and hit the base of leg-stump.
The crowd was stunned into silence.
