N Coulter-Nile to MS Dhoni, Swing and a miss! Two dots after the biggie! Dhoni uses his feet again and tries to hit it out of the park! He only connects with thin air though.
N Coulter-Nile to MS Dhoni, Good comeback! Cramps the batsman for room by bowling it on his body, Dhoni can only push it back to the bowler.
N Coulter-Nile to MS Dhoni, SIX! Finds the middle this time and a much, much-needed biggie for India. Width on offer and it is fuller. Dhoni clears his front leg and hits it over covers for a maximum. A couple more is what India need.
N Coulter-Nile to MS Dhoni, Still is unable to find the middle. He comes down the track and swings but it goes off the inner half towards mid-wicket. A dot to begin the last over.
Nathan Coulter-Nile to bowl the last over.
Pat Cummins to Y Chahal, Length ball on top of middle and Chahal looks to hit it into the stands but the ball hurries onto him and goes onto the bottom of the bat. Rolls towards long on but the single is not taken as Dhoni wants the strike in the last over. Cummins ends the evening with amazing figures of 4-0-19-1.
Pat Cummins to MS Dhoni, Short of a length outside off, patted towards cover by Dhoni as he picks up a run. That leaves Chahal with a ball to face in this over.
Change of bat for Dhoni! He has not been able to find the middle with this one, India would hope the change of bat brings change in fortunes. Australia will hope the other way though.
Pat Cummins to MS Dhoni, Mistimed again! Either the Aussie bowlers are just too good here or the pitch is really slow or the Indian batsmen are out of flow. A length ball outside off and MS goes for a swipe through the line but gets it on the bottom of the bat towards mid on. There is a single available but it is declined once more.
Pat Cummins to MS Dhoni, Another run declined! Dhoni has no option though, has to back himself to get the boundary here. A length ball on middle and MS fails to middle it. Pulls it away to mid-wicket on a couple of bounces.
Pat Cummins to MS Dhoni, A length ball outside off and Dhoni cuts it through backward point. Picks up a couple as the third man fielder makes a tumbling stop.
Pat Cummins to MS Dhoni, Does not get hold of this one either. A length ball on top of off stump and Dhoni pulls it flat-batted towards long on but refuses the single.
J Richardson to Y Chahal, Chahal negotiates the two deliveries. Shorter in length and on middle, Chahal goes back and keeps it out. Two overs to go, 20 runs off the last two? India would desperately need that. End of Richardson's spell, in a night where the bowlers have done really well, he probably won't be happy with his figures, still good though. It reads 4-0-31-0.
J Richardson to Y Chahal, Another solid defense. Back of a length on middle, Chahal keeps it out. He only has to protect his wicket at the moment.
J Richardson to MS Dhoni, Takes a run now! Shorter in length on middle, the batter pushes it towards mid on and gets to the other end. Chahal has two balls to face here.
J Richardson to MS Dhoni, FIVE WIDES! That will help India. Vital runs and bonus runs. Down the leg side, it tails back in late. Dhoni looks to flick but misses. Handscomb dives to his left but is unable to stop it. Much-needed this.
J Richardson to MS Dhoni, In the air... short! More importantly another dot. Short and Jhye bends his back on this one. Dhoni is hurried onto the pull It hits the splice and goes on the bounce to short mid-wicket.
J Richardson to MS Dhoni, A wild hoick! Not off the middle, off the inner half to mid-wicket. Two dots in a row.
J Richardson to MS Dhoni, Continues hitting the back of a length, Dhoni can't free his arms. He pushes it to mid off.
Pat Cummins to Y Chahal, Good solid defense and the crowd here cheers. Length ball on off, Chahal blocks it out.
