A fuller ball around off, comes back in slightly and Paine looks to have a push at this but plays it at the wrong line, there was not foot movement as well.

Paine completely misjudged the line there and has to make his way back to th

94.4 : 94.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Pat Cummins, OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja gets another one and the decision to bring on Jadeja is a masterclass by Rahane. Cummins goes back for a duck as well.

Shortish ball around middle and leg, Starc goes for the slog, but has no timing on that whatsoever. The ball balloons up in the air towards mid-wicket area, Gill from mid on runs to his left and completes an easy catch. A good cameo from Starc comes to an end. Australia 8 down now. How many more can they add now?

102.4 : 102.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Nathan Lyon, OUT! LBW! That had to be plumb! Jadeja gets his fourth wicket of the game and even the review is not able to save Lyon.

105.4 : 105.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Steven Smith, OUT! RUN OUT! Steven Smith is run out looking to turn the this single into this double. You can't take Jadeja on like that but he will be very happy with the knock that he has played. On a length and around off, Smith looked to push this one to the off side but the ball takes the inside edge and goes to the square leg region. They go for the single but Smith pushes for the double. Jadeja runs in and has a shy at the keeper's end and he hits bulls eye. The u

5.5: Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Something that you see Rohit do a lot in white ball cricket, but this time he does it against the red ball. A short ball, on middle, Sharma swivel-pulls this one to the deep square leg region and it crosses the ropes after a couple of bounces.
12.4 : 12.4: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR! CHEEEEEEKY! Wonderful stroke! Smart batting by the youngster!

15.2 : 15.2: Nathan Lyon to Rohit Sharma, SIX! WHAM! Enough of patience, says Sharma and he whacks this one for a biggie. Flighted and around off, Sharma skips down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball as well. Lofts it over the long on fence for a biggie.
15.6 : 15.6: Nathan Lyon to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Deft placement and timing on this one will send it to the ropes! Floated on off, Sharma gets low and paddles this one through the short fine leg region and even though, Warner gives it a chase but the ball wins the race to the ropes.

26.6 : 26.6: Josh Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft, soft dismissal and Sharma has just given Hazlewood a late New Year's present. It was all one way traffic until now but Josh has broken this promising stand. A very sharp catch by Josh. He bowls this on a length and around off, Sharma looks to drive this one past the bowler but does so slightly uppishly. It is enough for Hazlewood to get low to his left and grab this one out of thin air. The 70-run stand between these two comes to an e
27.1 : 27.1: Nathan Lyon to Shubman Gill, FOUR! SHOT! A tossed up ball around off, Gill comes down the track and creams this one through the covers for a boundary. Into the 40s now, is Gill.
28.2 : 28.2: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Short and wide outside off, Gill cuts it through cover-point region for a boundary. The fielder at deep point ran to his right and tried but could not cut it off.
32.1 : 32.1: Pat Cummins to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT! A good innings by Gill but unfortunately for him, it comes to an end.

Hazlewood from mid off dives to his right, stops the ball and hits the stumps at the non-striker's end, did that all in one motion. The Aussies celebrate. The third umpire has been called for and one replay is enough to send Vihari packing.
69.3 : 69.3: Nathan Lyon to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! That's how Pant plays. He is not going to just keep blocking and blocking. Just a fraction short and a bit of room too. Pant slams it through point and it races away to the fence. 150 up for the Indians.

A fuller ball outside off, Pant without any feet movement goes for the drive but ends up getting an outside edge. The ball goes to Warner at first slip. It goes quickly to him but he reacts sharply and holds onto it. Great take from the southpaw. Not from the one with the bat though as it was way outside off and he could've had easily left it alone. A start thrown away again by Pan

Cummins from mid off throws the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at the striker's end and he whips off the bails before Ashwin can make his ground. Waste of a wicket this by Ashwin. Second run out of the innings this. India 7 down now.
94.5 : 94.5: Mitchell Starc to Navdeep Saini, OUT! TAKEN! Starc gets the wicket with that short ball tactics. Smart from Paine to bring him back. Not that smart from Jadeja to expose Saini for entire six balls against Starc. Another short ball around off and middle, Saini is hopping to fend it away.

A tossed up ball around off and middle, Warner gets down and looks to play the sweep but misses to get hit on the pads. Looks pretty good as the Indians appeal. The umpire takes his time and then raises the finger. Warner signals the 'T' after having a word with his partner at the other end. Hot Spot and Snic
