India staring down at a defeat once again. What a collapse here from the visitors. Faulkner shows his experience and calmness to give just 7 runs. Next over Ishant edges and goes out. India all out for 323. Who would have thought this after the hosts were 277/1 at one stage.

Richardson comes to bowl and starts with two dots, there was an appeal for a LBW but umpire doesn't give it. A direct throw at stumps allows an extra run. Rahane looks to guide the ball towards the 3rd man but gives a catch to the slip fielder. India staring at another defeat here. Unbelieveable!

Virat departs as he mistimes a shot straight to Smith. India in trouble here from a winning position the tides have changed. Jadeja is the new man in and there are two new men at the crease. Jadeja gets a brace and the match is tight now. A single follows, Richardson has been brilliant here. Gurkeerat gets a run to keep strike. Lyon continues and gets a wicket. Gurkeerat hits a four before his inexperience comes to play and he skies to Marsh. Four wickets in a space of 8 runs and we have a famous Indian collapse on cards here? Injured Rahane comes into bat.

Marsh bowls and Dhawan excels to clear mid-off for a four. Dhawan then has a swipe and a diving Lyon saves two in the boundary. Nine runs come from the over. Hastings starts off with a no-ball and Dhawan finds the fielder off the free-hit ball. A misfield by the skipper next allows Dhawan to steal two runs. He was the fastest Indian to 3000 ODI runs. Change of pace sees Dhawan charge down and he finds the player in Bailey at point. He gets out for a well made 126 runs. Kohli needs to bat this through now with Dhoni supporting him. Dhoni plays two dot balls to start with. He then uses his feet and manages to nick one to the keeper. Game on here!

Another good over for India here with six runs coming. The duo are building on their partnership well and need to continue that as long as possible. Steve Smith goes for a change and comes to bowl himself. Good turn and it is hit straight back to him. The next gets an edge but falls safely. Brilliant shot by Kohli after creating some room and that goes for a four. Good try by Warner in the deep but it goes past him. Six come from it, an interesting over by the skipper.

Richardson continues and Dhawan defends the first ball. He then calls for two and gets it easily. The next ball finds the fielder at point.

A straight drive front of the wicket off a full delivery ends the over in India's favour. Marsh starts with a wide, that will frustrate his skipper. Three singles amidst a wide follows next. Dhawan then plays a good shot only for a single and Kohli then took a close run as the fielder had a close shy at the stumps.

Hastings comes to bowl and is right on the money as Rohit picks up a cheeky single. Bailey has a throw at the stumps but Rohit is already home. The pressure will be on Dhawan especially with his dot ball percentage. After three dots he gets a single. Rohit plays a fine shit but Lyon's presence of mind is excellent as he dives to prevent a boundary. Two runs are taken, Dhawan then goes for a big heave and gets a six over square-leg boundary. Two good dots follow, Richardson has been good so far and is defining his presence. Another ball is struck crisply and is just wide of short extra-cover.

Ishant has been asked to bowl and he pitches length and Smith heaves it for a huge six. A misfield at fine leg next sees Smith pick two. Umesh was the fielder, he was called in action in the next ball too as Smith picks another two. Brilliant batting this by the Australian skipper. He dances down the track and goes for a reverse sweep but misses. A single follows again that comes through towards fine leg. Smith surpasses 2000 ODI runs as Marsh gets a boundary off the last ball. Surprisingly Dhoni continues with a below-par Kumar and he doesn't disappoint. Full-toss is smashed for a six by Smith. A single follows before the duo run well to pick a brace. Another easy two runs come, Dhoni looks clueless.
