Score66 - 2

M Markande to D Short, Short looks to cut but it is too close to play that shot. He gets an inside edge onto it. The ball bounces on the crease and deflects towards third man off Dhoni's pad. Hence D'Arcy is able to get to the other end.

Overs9.3
Score64 - 2

M Markande to G Maxwell, SIX! Into the stands it goes! 'No, no, no' goes Dhoni behind the wickets and you see exactly why. Markande has flighted it nicely outside off and Maxwell takes full toll. He smashes it way back into the crowd at wide long on.

Overs9.1
Score57 - 2

M Markande to G Maxwell, Just short! Luck going Australia's way here. He goes for the slog sweep but picks the wrong ball as the length was not quite there. It goes off the higher portion of the bat towards Rohit Sharma at deep mid-wicket. He dives forward to take it but the ball is just short. A single taken.

K Pandya to G Maxwell, A single to end the over from Glenn. Krunal bowls it flat and quick at the pads, flicked away for a run to deep mid-wicket. A decent over for the Indians, just 5 runs off it in the end.

Overs8.4
Score55 - 2

K Pandya to D Short, 50-run stand up and a very important one. They joined association when Australia lost two quickly and now have taken the visitors to safer shores. Need to continue as they are set and a new batsman won't find it easy. This is fired on middle, Short looks to drive but but gets an inside edge onto his pads. It rolls towards short third man for a run.

Overs8.3
Score54 - 2

K Pandya to G Maxwell, NOT OUT! Maxwell has just made it! The arm ball outside off, it comes in with the angle. Maxwell cuts it towards point. He takes off for a run. Chahal throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end. An appeal follows but not a confident one. Replays roll in and they show that Maxwell is safe. Australia will breath a sigh of relief as another run out is the last thing they would have wanted.

21:21 (IST) Feb 24

Run out appeal... A direct hit from the point fielder at the bowler's end. Maxwell is the man in question but he does not look too concerned, only a little pensive. Even the Indians are not celebrating, looks like the man might have just made it.

Score51 - 2

M Markande to D Short, FOUR! That is a supreme shot! Some width on offer for the southpaw outside off, Short rocks back and cuts it wide of deep cover for a boundary. It brings up the 50 for the visitors too. 76 runs are required in 72 balls now.

M Markande to G Maxwell, That was very very slow! Outside off and Maxwell waits really long for the ball to arrive before cutting it straight to the fielder at cover. Lets out a groan feeling he missed out there.
