Hughes 22 | 12.2 ovs Vinay Kumar gets his due. After that Finch catch was turned down, Kumar looked frustrated, but he comes back well to remove Hughes. The left- hander tries to run the ball towards thirdman, cant get it well on the bat and a thick edge is caught by Dhoni. Lack of fotwork also did him in. Kumar welcomes Watson with two short balls before he gets off the mark. Australia: 67/0 | Overs 12 | Finch 35*, Hughes 22* Accurate bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Doesnt give any room to Hughes to free his arms and keeps the length much fuller. Hughes tries to work the ball past point but the fielder doesnt allow any run. Maiden over for Kumar. Australia: 67/0 | Overs 11 | Finch 35*, Hughes 22* Finch survives! umpire Shamsuddin is having a terrible debut. The second ball of the over, Vinay Kumar drops it short and Finch cant connect well. The edge hits his shoulders and deflects to Virat Kohli at point. Umpire turns down the appeal. Kohli gets animated and shows his displeasure pretty clearly. Good over from Kumar. A single followed by a couple scored off the last two deliveries. Australia: 64/0 | Overs 10 | Finch 33*, Hughes 22* Dhoni seems to be a bowler less looking at how Ishant Sharma is delivering. Yet again a short ball hammered by Hughes past mid- wicket. He does regain his line back and Hughes does give enough respect it deserves. With the lack of enough pace, the short ball may not be the best option unlike a Mitchell Johnson. Australia: 60/0 | Overs 9 | Finch 33*, Hughes 18* Bhuvneshwar Kumar is by far the most effective bowler but a breakthrough is still eluding India. On the second ball, the nick from Finchs bat runs past second slip for a four. He picks a couple by flicking an incoming delivery. On the final ball he gets an easy gift to collect one more boundary. Australia: 48/0 | Overs 8 | Finch 21*, Hughes 18* Ishant Sharma struggling to get his length right. A slightly fuller one is punched by Finch off the backfoot and the ball goes for a boundary. The delivers accurately to Finch who changes ends thanks to a leg bye. Hughes then has no hesitation in putting off a wayward delivery on the leg side for a four. Australia: 39/0 | Overs 7 | Finch 17*, Hughes 14* Bhuvneshwar almost got Hughes there. Loud appeal for leg-before. Umpire turns it down thinking bat-pad but replays show it was pad first. Could have been close. Still a good over conceding just four from it. Australia: 35/0 | Overs 6 | Finch 14*, Hughes 13* Ishant Sharma replaces Vinay Kumar. Comes over the wicket, and Hughes waits for the delivery and times it on the off-side to accumulate four more to the total. Good footwork from the left-hander. Sharma then reduces the width on offer for Hughes and cramps him for space. Hughes gets a single on the last ball, retains strike. Australia: 29/0 | Overs 5 | Finch 13*, Hughes 8* Incoming delivery from B Kumar, hits Finch on the pads but the appeal from Indians is turned down from Shamsuddin. Two balls later pitches it up but Finch goes through with the shot and the ball zips past mid-on towards the fence.

Australia: 12/0 | Overs 2 | Finch 5*, Hughes 2* Vinay Kumar shares the new ball with Kumar. Finds it difficult to get hold of his length. Concedes a bye and then pitches on the leg-side again and the ball further swirls down the leg giving four more leg-byes to Australia. Gets his line back in the remaining balls. Australia: 5/0 | Overs 1 | Finch 4*, Hughes 1* Hint of swing for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and he has used it extremely well with good line. Brings the first ball back into Phil Hughes. Even Aaron Finch has some trouble judging the ball first-up. Finch finally gets a boundary with a cut shot past backward point. Welcome back. The Australian batsmen are back to chase the stiff target. What an innings. He came in at 76 for four and changed the face of the game. He started off cautiously — something typical of his innings. He accumulated the runs when Kohli was on song and finally cut loose towards the end. With the tradition of scoring of 300 in this series, we still dont know whether thats enough.

V Kumar 0* Dhoni carnage in the last over — 4, 0, 6, 6, 1+wk, 4 He swings the first ball between mid- wicket and long-on for a boundary. He refuses a single in the next ball.

India: 227/6 | Overs 42 | Dhoni 78*, Ashwin 27* Dhoni fails to get hold of a short ball from Watson.

Ashwin on the penultimate delivery, shuffles across and cheekily directs the short ball fine on the leg-side for the second boundary of the over. India: 215/6 | Overs 41 | Dhoni 71*, Ashwin 22* First six of the match . Doherty drops the penultimate ball short and Dhoni muscles it over mid-wicket for a huge six.

After Raina and Yuvraj, Jadeja awkwardly tries to work it past leg-side. With pace and bounce of Johnson, the edge flies to Haddin. Third wicket for Johnson. New man Ashwin and gets a sweetly- timed boundary past gully. Even he gets some short deliveries but no problems for him evading it. Finally on the last ball even he struggles to keep it down, but gets a couple off it. Meanwhile some poetic compliment for Kohli Super slow motion shots of Virat Kohli batting with a piano accompaniment have been known to make mountains weep. #fact 3:40 PM - 19 Oct 2013 The Cricket Geek @TheCricketGeek Follow 4 RETWEETS 3 FAVORITES India: 153/5 | Overs 31 | Dhoni 38*, Jadeja 2* WIth 19 more overs to go, not much sense in attacking Doherty. The batsmen are cautious against Doherty nudging around for the singles. India: 150/5 | Overs 30 | Dhoni 36*, Jadeja 1* OUT! Kohli 68 (73) I 29.3 ovs Glenn Maxwell brought into the attack strikes the big blow. Kohli is gone. The well-set batsman first made room for himself and got a boundary. The next ball he tries to delivately nudge it past point, unfortunately nicks it to Haddin. Ravindra Jadeja is the new man in. India: 142/4 | Overs 29 | Kohli 63*, Dhoni 34* Doherty continues to be accurate bowling on middle and off. Kohli gets most of the strike and gives respect to the bowler with defensive strokes. Just look back to the second ODI, how Kohli thrashed the bowlers. This time around he is slowly stitching his innings and ensuring that the team is inching towards a strong total. He has picked his singles and twos and ensured that the strike-rate doesnt dip. Doherty has given away just 28 from his seven overs so far. India: 139/4 | Overs 28 | Kohli 61*, Dhoni 33* Juicy full-toss by Adam Voges but Kohli fails to get the placement right. Both batsmen are slowly getting into their groove, striking the ball with more power. Most of such shots in this over has run into the fieldsmen in the outfield. Three runs from it. India: 136/4 | Overs 27 | Kohli 59*, Dhoni 32* Boundary for Kohli. Doherty gets the ball angling in, Kohli makes room with his beautiful footwork and takes the aerial route over Watson over cover for a boundary. Kohli must be wondering whether to shift gears now or wait for the batting powerplay. Kohli magnificent. Expect Shastri to go into raptures again! 3:25 PM - 19 Oct 2013 Cricketwallah @cricketwallah Follow 18 RETWEETS 12 FAVORITES India: 130/4 | Overs 26 | Kohli 54*, Dhoni 31* Watson continues. Dhoni works the ball behind square-leg for a couple. He slaps the ball to deep point and gets two more to complete the half- century partnership. Dhoni has been running the ones and twos despite the niggle in his hamstring. Though the boundaries have dried up, the run-rate is still on 5 an over. India: 123/4 | Overs 25 | Kohli 53*, Dhoni 25* Fourth half-century on the trot for Kohli. Punches the ball to deep cover and runs to get to his fifty. Plays out defensively on the next ball and earns two more. six runs comes from that over. India: 117/4 | Overs 24 | Kohli 49*, Dhoni 24* Finally a boundary! Watson drifts on the leg-side.

India: 109/4 | Overs 23 | Kohli 41*, Dhoni 23* Kohli finds it difficult to break free against Xavier Doherty, eventually settles for a run. Dhoni punches one through covers on the last ball, yet again just one coming off it. Dhoni is a robust looking player,very unseductive but highly productive 3:03 PM - 19 Oct 2013 shishir hattangadi @shishhattangadi Follow India: 106/4 | Overs 22 | Kohli 40*, Dhoni 21* Three runs, all in the form of singles. The only attacking shot came on the fourth delivery when Dhoni fiercely pulled a ball straight to deep fine-leg. India: 103/4 | Overs 21 | Kohli 39*, Dhoni 19* Dhoni comes down the track and nudges the ball for a single. On the next ball, Kohli ricks back on the backfoot to hit it to mid-wicket to add one more to his total. The Indian skipper picks a couple on the fourth ball. India: 98/4 | Overs 20 | Kohli 38*, Dhoni 15* The boundaries have dried up but not Kohlis scoring. He is still busy picking singles and scoring at run-a- ball. He pulls the fourth ball along the ground confidently, unfortunately it goes straight to deep mid-wicket. Four runs from the over. Dhoni is a robust looking player,very unseductive but highly productive 3:03 PM - 19 Oct 2013 shishir hattangadi @shishhattangadi Follow India: 94/4 | Overs 19 | Kohli 36*, Dhoni 13* Doherty gets some grip and turn in this over. Kohlis opts for a forward defensive push and the ball takes the edge, but the deflection is good enough to brush past Haddins pads. Tidy over from Doherty conceding just two runs. India: 92/4 | Overs 18 | Kohli 35*, Dhoni 12* Dhoni yet again defensive on the front foot for the first three deliveries. Offers a similar shot and looks to attempt a quick single but eventually Kohli sends him off. He struggles to get back due to the niggle in his hamstring. Follows it up with a couple through the leg-side. India: 89/4 | Overs 17 | Kohli 35*, Dhoni 9* The batsmen adopt a defensive approach against Doherty. Dhoni gets most of the strike and he just comes forward and tries to push the ball around. Three runs from the over. India: 86/4 | Overs 16 | Kohli 34*, Dhoni 7* James Faulkner replaces Clint Mckay. Just three runs from the over. Xavier Doherty comes in to ball for the first time in the match. India: 83/4 | Overs 15 | Kohli 33*, Dhoni 5* Mitchell Johnson on a hat-trick comes wide of the crease against Kohli, but the batsman has no problem pushing it towards leg-side. Dhoni picks a boundary to the right of the point fielder. He is looking much comfortable now after an injury concern in the previous over. Yuvrajs last three ODIs at Mohali has yielded just three runs! the word will go around.for all the joys of jaipur, bounce is still the bugbear. raina, then yuvraj 2:35 PM - 19 Oct 2013 Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha Follow 47 RETWEETS 12 FAVORITES India: 77/4 | Overs 14 | Kohli 32*, Dhoni 0* Dhoni is in pain. Kohli slaps a ball towards sweeper cover, but Dhoni twists his ankle after running the first one, refuses Kohli for the second. Umpires in the meanwhile called for drinks. No runs from the remainder of the over India: 76/4 | Overs 13 | Kohli 31* OUT! Raina 17(19) I 12.5 ovs and Yuvraj 0(1) I 13 ovs Two wickets for Mitchell Johnson! Raina seemed to be picking up on his confidence after some good strokes in the last over. Even got a boundary through mid-wicket. But Johnson does exactly what he was supposed to. Shuffles the length and bowls another short ball, this time Raina pokes at it and the Watson at first slip takes it. Playing at his home ground, a lot was expected from Yuvraj but he cant fend off a delivery rising from a good length; is caught by Haddin. The short ball and Raina, very much an odd couple, and just as funny as The Odd Couple. #IndvsAus 2:23 PM - 19 Oct 2013 Gaurav Sethi @BoredCricket Follow 2 RETWEETS India: 68/2 | Overs 12 | Kohli 30*, Raina 10* Bailey persists with McKay for sixth over on the trot. Kohli gets a single on the first ball and the focus was back on Raina. But this time the left-hander appears much more confident playing some strokes on the front foot. He finally manages to get one past covers and gets three runs. India: 63/2 | Overs 11 | Kohli 29*, Raina 6* Johnson comes back from the same end he started from. Kohli picks a single pushing the ball towards mid- wicket off a faster delivery. From thereon its a testing time for Raina. Australia looking to cash in on Rainas susceptibility to short balls. Johnson varies his length and Raina looks uncomfortable but no harm done. In last five years 2010 was Virats least productive year...and he averaged (hold your breath) 47.38 in that year. What a player! 2:17 PM - 19 Oct 2013 Aakash Chopra @cricketaakash Follow 83 RETWEETS 16 FAVORITES India: 60/2 | Overs 10 | Kohli 28*, Raina 5* Kohli looking fabulous here. Collects four more with a well-timed boundary through the covers. Hits yet another shot on the off but the ball ricochets off the short-cover fielder and the batsmen take a single. Five runs from that over. India: 55/2 | Overs 9 | Kohli 23*, Raina 5* Two more boundaries for Kohli. Watson uses the short delivery, Kohli pulls it over mid-on for a boundary. Watson strays on the legside and Kohli doesnt miss that opportunity; glances it for a four and the takes a single. Raina on the last ball times well and picks his first boundary. 14 runs from that over and 50 up for India. India: 41/2 | Overs 8 | Kohli 14*, Raina 0* McKay continues from the other end. Kohli gets a confident boundary off a cover drive. Just the four runs from it. Kohli is mixing caution with aggression. The pitch has slightly uneven bounce and going all out against may not be the best idea. Gets a boundary and goes defensive. India: 37/2 | Overs 7 | Kohli 10* OUT! R Sharma 11 (22) Shane Watson replaces Mitchell Johnson. Pretty accurate bringing the ball into the batsman. Bowls a wide though. But on the last ball he gets a bit of bounce. Rohit Sharma looks extremely edgy while pulling that ball and the top edge flies behind the wicket. Aaron Finch qucikly runs behind and takes that catch. India: 35/1 | Overs 6 | Rohit 11*, Kohli 9* Rohit is not looking fluent. Gets one more inside edge and earns a single. McKay bowls a luring ball outside off stump and Rohit restrains himself. He follows it up with a similar delivery but this time tries to slap it. Didnt get his timing right but food enough to clear the infield and run away to the deep point boundary. India has played 12 games at Mohali, winning 8 and losing 4. It has won the last three games here #IndvAus #cricket 1:47 PM - 19 Oct 2013 ICC @cricketicc Follow 20 RETWEETS 5 FAVORITES India: 29/1 | Overs 5 | Rohit 6*, Kohli 8* Kohli shows that he is surely in sublime form. Collects two boundaries. Johnson pitches it wide outside off and Kohli leans into the drive. The next shot was even better; Johnson tries to york Kohli, but the batsman times it beautifully between cover and point. He remains watchful in the remaining four balls. India: 21/1 | Overs 4 | Rohit 6*, Kohli 0* After 12 deliveries Rohit Sharma finally gets off the mark with a lucky boundary. Goes for a drive but the ball takes the inside edge and teases past Brad Haddin behind the wicket. He cuts one past point on the last ball and gets a couple. six runs from that over. India: 15/1 | Overs 3 | Rohit 0*, Kohli 0* Johnson is yet again accurate with his line and length. Keeps it slightly short of good length. New man Virat Kohli is cautious. Just a leg-bye coming from that over. India: 14/1 | Overs 2 | Rohit 0* OUT! Dhawan 8 (6) Dhawan beaten by Clint McKay with the ball rising from good length and the catch was comfortably taken by Brad Haddin. Umpire Shamsuddin hesitates but gives in to the appeal after seeing Dhawan walk. Clint McKay started from the other end with a wayward delivery and concedes four leg-byes. Dhawan collects four more in the next ball with a firm push walking forward which runs between mid-off and cover. McKay yet again slides one towards leg on the fourth ball and it was flicked by Dhawan for a boundary. 12 runs coming off it but Australia wont mind having dismissed Dhawan. India: 2/0 | Overs 1 | Rohit 0*, Dhawan 0* Mitchell Johnson starts with his usual pace of 140+. Bowls a wide first-up but slowly warms with an inswinging yorker and some short-pitched bowling to test Rohit Sharma. Concedes one more wide in the second half of his over. Just two runs coming from that over. When Johnson starts off with his incoming deliveries it does make one feel theres lot in the pitch.
