It is in the gap and into the boundary. It is a slower ball, on the body. It is a length ball, outside the tramline. It races away to the boundary. It goes past the tramline. 5.6 overs (0 Run) A dot to end the over! It lands safely and they take a brace. It takes the top-edge and goes towards extra cover. It goes through the gap and races away. Hardik Pandya moves back and looks to heave it across the line. Dinesh Karthik gets low and slogs it over the fine leg fence for a maximum. About Dinesh Karthik he claims that he is glad he could play and got time in the middle and they hope he can continue to play the finishing role.

CRR: 11.60. RR : 11.00. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Hardik Pandya*, 2(2), 0, 0, 100. Rohit Sharma, 32(15), 1, 4, 213.33. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

Australia need to have a solid first half of the over to tighten this. Cummins bowls short into the wicket, Hardik could have played along the ground to ease this game, but he goes across and goes hard for a big hit over the leg-side, slices it high for extra-cover to complete a pressure catch. 7.1Daniel Sams to Karthik, SIX, the finisher! Ro with the bat and Axar with the ball stood out, good to see Bumrah back. 7.2Daniel Sams to Karthik, FOUR, short and into the pitch, DK pulls, deep mid-wicket can't get around and India level the series 1-1. The bowlers had something to bowl to and we bowled well. Smacked Hazlewood for back-to-back sixes in the first over to set the tone, held one end tight when Zampa pulled it back with three wickets and then absorbed the pressure in the end overs for some timely boundaries. Axar was outstanding in restricting the Aussies and the captain led the way with the bat despite two great overs from Zampa. Is it about a slight change in the release since return from injury or is it something mental, trust Harshal and the team to know better. It feels good to hit the winning runs. Wade is a calm customer at the back end and he has grown into that finisher's role. The worrying part for India though is that Harshal bowled 7-8 slower balls in the final over of both the T20Is and Wade was able to hit six sixes when it's been repeatedly told to us that picking his slower ball is difficult.
