  After 8 overs,India 50/3 ( Virat Kohli 13 , Yuvraj Singh 1)

  Another very good over from Watson. After he got Raina out. He had a short leg and a slip for Yuvraj. Yuvraj charged on his first ball and tucked it to square leg for a single. Just 5 runs off the over. The required rate has climbed to 9.25.
• 21:58(IST)
  

  OUT! That short ball was going to get him out isn't it? Watson strikes. SK Raina c Nevill b Watson 10 (7b 1x4 0x6)

  Short outside the leg stump, Raina shuffles a tad and goes for the pull but ends up gloving it to the keeper. India in some trouble now. 

  Yuvraj Singh is the new batsman.

  After 7 overs, India 45/2 ( Virat Kohli 12 , Suresh Raina 7)

  A good over from Faulkner. He lured Raina into a drive off a slower one. Raina misjudged the pace and committed to a drive, luckily for him, it flew uppishly just wide of the mid off fielder for four. Four more singles in the over made it 8 runs from the over.
• 21:51(IST)
  James Faulkner into the attack now.
• 21:50(IST)
  That crucial phase of the game when Kohli takes singles and rest act as if asking rate is 20

  After 6 overs,India 37/2 ( Virat Kohli 11 , Suresh Raina 0)

  A very good over from Watson. End of the Powerplay and Australia have done well, sending the openers back. Just 3 runs and a wicket off the over. 
• 21:47(IST)
  

  OUT! Watson strikes in his first over. RG Sharma b Watson 12 (17b 1x4 0x6) 

  Clever change of length from him. he sees Rohit dancing down the track and drops it on a good length. Rohit cas committed himself forward, he looks to cut it to the off side but misses and finds his stumps shattered. 

  Suresh Raina is the new batsman.
• 21:44(IST)

  Shane Watson will be Australia's key bowler on this pitch. Wicket-to-wicket, back of a length, induce the batsman to make a mistake.

  Shane Watson into the attack now.
• 21:43(IST)
  Kohli is just a joy to watch. Always looks at such ease at the wicket.

  After 5 overs, India 34/1 ( Rohit Sharma 11 , Virat Kohli 9)

  Kohli is up and running. He flicks one through mid-wicket and then places one through backward point for back-to-back fours. He then takes a quick single. 10 runs off the over. 
• 21:39(IST)
  Hazlewood continues..
• 21:39(IST)
  After 4 overs, India 24/1 ( Rohit Sharma 10 , Virat Kohli 0)

  A successful over for Australia. Coulter-Nile got spanked for a boundary off a short delivery first ball. But he persisted with it. Rohit mistimed his pull off the second ball and it went on the bounce to deep square leg. Coulter-Nile then got Dhawan off a short ball. 6 runs and a wicket off the over. 
• 21:37(IST)
  

  OUT! The short ball does the trick for Coulter-Nile! S Dhawan c Khawaja b Coulter-Nile 13 (12b 1x4 1x6)

  It's short on middle ad leg, Dhawan goes for a pull but gets a top edge high in the air. Khawaja settles under it at short fine leg and accepts a good catch.  

  Virat Kohli strides out to the middle. 
• 21:34(IST)
  Coulter-Nile continues....
• 21:33(IST)
  After 3 overs, India 18/0 ( Rohit Sharma 4 , Shikhar Dhawan 13)

  Dhawan showing some aggression. Hazlewood wouldn't have seen it coming. He play stha tpick-up shot over deep square leg and it sails into the stands. He then cleverly takes a single to third man. Rohit too takes a single. He's looked calm in the middle. Dhawan seems to have taken the aggressor role. 9 runs off the over.
• 21:30(IST)
  Hazlewood continues.....
• 21:29(IST)
  After 2 overs,India 10/0 ( Rohit Sharma 3 , Shikhar Dhawan 6)

  Good start from Coulter-Nile. He bowled disciplined lines. There was one delivery he bowled short, Rohit pulled it on the bounce to deep square leg. 2 runs off the over.
• 21:25(IST)
  Nathan Coulter-Nile will bowl from the other end.
• 21:24(IST)
  After 1 overs, India 7/0 ( Rohit Sharma 2 , Shikhar Dhawan 5)

  A decent start from India. Rohit gets off the mark off the first ball with a single to deep mid-wicket. Dhawan then opens his account in style, next ball as he creams a full delivery through covers for four. Two more singles make it 7 runs off the first over.
• 21:19(IST)
  Right! Back for the chase. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have made their way out to the middle. Josh Hazlewood will start off proceedings.
• 21:14(IST)
  If the Aussies get Virat out under 15 then they will win. Going to be a cracking game though, who's winning this followers ? 
  Australia haha

  Zaheer says "should be an easy chase for #IND " 
  Time for Dhawan to get that mandatory good inns after some bad inns out of way. #IndvsAus

  Prior to this match Australia has set a target of 160+ FIVE times against India. India chased successfully THREE times.#IndvsAus

  Dammit!! Five more than I hoped for. This is not a wicket you want to try scoring 10+ an over in the last five. So needs a heck of a PP.
