14:26 hrs IST Trapped LBW Full ball, Dhoni was on the back foot, looked to clip it away, missed the ball and is hit right in front of the stumps. A tired stroke by Dhoni, but this partnership has brought India back on track. Australia get a timely strike, they will be up and about again

14:16 hrs IST Making a comeback? Five runs in the comparison at 30 overs. India have done superbly to get back into this #AUSvIND — Andrew McGlashan (@andymcg_cricket) January 12, 2019

13:41 hrs IST Dhoni looks set He is still dealing in singles, India cannot afford to lose any wicket right now as both the batsmen have soaked up a lot of deliveries and the required run rate has increased





13:21 hrs IST Dot...dot...Bang 5 dot balls and then bang goes Rohit. Down the track, not quite close to the pitch of the ball, but the languid swing of the bat sends the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket





13:11 hrs IST Some pressure released 2 sixes in the last 2 overs and finally India have decided to arrive and do something about the chase. Dhoni steps out and deposits Lyon over his head.





13:04 hrs IST Dhoni is struggling to get going Lyon wheels away and bowls a maiden. Dhoni is on 6 from 35 balls. The run rate is climbing all the while. Australia building all the pressure, something has to give pretty soon





12:52 hrs IST Peter Siddle into the attack After forever, Peter Siddle is back into the ODI side and now is running in with the white ball in this retro kit. Australia are right on top here





12:38 hrs IST 10,000 ODI runs for Dhoni The seasoned campaigner has just achieved his 10000th run for India in One Day Internationals. He has to dig in and bail India out of this hole





12:25 hrs IST Rayudu comes and goes Fast, angled in, Rayudu hit on the pads, beaten for pace. The ball smashes the pads and he reviews, ball tracking says the ball would have taken the stumps. Rayudu departs and takes the review with him. India on the mat





12:21 hrs IST Kohli goes Wow, India under the pump, Kohli flicks but finds Marcus Stoinis at short square leg. India’s prolific top-order has been ripped open. Under the pump, Rohit is still to get going, Australia right on top. This game has swung dramatically





12:14 hrs IST Maiden from Jhye Richardson Great intent from the hosts, good energy on the field and the bowlers have started brilliantly. India under some early pressure. Two great overs at the outset





12:10 hrs IST First blow for India Full ball angled in, Dhawan was in no position for that one, looked to clip it away, hit bang in front of the stumps. Umpire says yes, Australia on the board. The left-hander departs for a golden duck, superb start for the hosts.





12:06 hrs IST Chase begins Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan walk out. Behrendorff with the new ball, he can shape the ball back in. 227th player to play for Australia

Good flourish in the end by Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell with a couple of hits. An innings which was held together by Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja, and Peter Handscomb gets a rapid finish





11:16 hrs IST End of a fine innings Great innings by Handscomb. He perishes looking to play a stroke per ball, good bowling by Bhuvi, who kept it short and the attempted slice over point has found Shikhar Dhawan at deep cover. Glenn Maxwell enters the scene





11:06 hrs IST Expensive over Finally, Australia erupt. They are more proactive and getting the boundaries away. Handscomb is looking ominous for Virat Kohli’s plans. Maxwell is yet to come





10:59 hrs IST Handscomb on the move The right-hander is key for Australia, he has scored his 50 and now should look to race ahead. Stoinis, after a low start, has found his groove and will be threatening





10:53 hrs IST Scoring rate Australia played 35% attacking strokes in the first 40 overs. The global average since the Champions Trophy is 42%. #AUSvIND — The Cricket Prof. (@CricProf) January 12, 2019





10:49 hrs IST Into the final phase of the innings Handscomb is in the 40s, Stoinis warming. Now for the final acceleration phase is on. Fun times ahead. More intent, definitely





10:31 hrs IST Marsh depars Nice bowling by Kuldeep, tossed up on off stump, Marsh comes down the track and looks to biff it over mid-wicket, drags it to Shami who runs forward and dives forward to complete a smart catch. India keep chipping away at the wickets





10:20 hrs IST 50 for Marsh His exceptional ODI form continues. Has looked assured all day and now with that slap has brought up his 50. Another important innings, Australia are looking to get a move on





10:16 hrs IST Handscomb motoring along He stays back in his crease, and Bhuvi is feeding him with shortish deliveries which make them easy pickings for him. He has been in good hitting form in the BBL and holds the key to this innings for Australia





10:03 hrs IST Shami looking sharp He has been on the money all day and is looking quite sharp. However, Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb are moving positively and they need to improve the scoring rate is Australia want to post a score in excess of 300 on this surface





9:48 hrs IST Pressure of dot balls He went for the slog sweep, Jadeja was on the money, missed the blog and was trapped in front. Timely strike for India. Khawaja was looking good. Australia lose their 3rd wicket, a promising stand ends with Shaun Marsh





9:41 hrs IST Stat Attack: Khawaja 50 · 5th ODI fifty for Khawaja. · 1st against India. · 1st in Australia as well. · 1st fifty after 3 ODI innings for Khawaja





9:34 hrs IST Khawaja gets to his 50 Good assured innings by the left-hander, he has been in control for a major part of the innings, rotating the strike and keeping the scoreboard moving. He needs to bat deep into the innings





9:27 hrs IST Rayudu with his off-spin An extremely part-time option, the Australians need to recognise the fact that they need to up the scoring rate and this phase should see them quicken up the speed of the scoring rate





9:15 hrs IST Marsh looking far more confident The footwork is more assured, either back or forward confidently to negotiate the turn and bounce and then easily tonking boundaries. Looking good for Australia





9:09 hrs IST Lovely bowling from Kuldeep He is tossing the ball up, forcing the batsmen to come towards the pitch and then getting it to dip at the last moment. Australia look tentative at the moment against Kuldeep





9:02 hrs IST Drinks Australia are fighting back after the twin blows. Marsh and Khawaja are looking to milk the spinners and keep the scoreboard moving. We take drinks, India slightly ahead at the moment





8:59 hrs IST Shami has gone off the field He was in the middle of a good spell, but has gone off the field with the physio. India do not have a 6th bowling option and they would hope this is nothing serious





8:48 hrs IST Accurate stuff from the seamers Accurate stuff from Kohli's quicks so far. 59% of the deliveries from India's seamers have been on a good length, between 6m and 8m from the batsman's stumps. That's the highest figure India have recorded at this stage of an ODI innings since the 2015 World Cup. #AUSvIND — The Cricket Prof. (@CricProf) January 12, 2019





8:36 hrs IST Kuldeep strikes Well, good move by Kohli. Kuldeep pitches on one off, Carey wants to cut, is too close for comfort, nicks it and Rohit Sharma takes a sharp catch at first slip. India have bossed the powerplay





8:27 hrs IST Carey looking good The young wicket-keeper batsman is looking in good rhythm at the moment and is timing the ball pretty well on either side of the wicket.





8:20 hrs IST Bhuvi on the money Kumar’s set up to get Finch is just ace...love it.



1) Nip backer - LBW shout (Not out)

2) Leg cutter - spliced to 3rd man.



Brings a fine gully in.



3) Leg cutter - edged downwards to gully.

4) Nip backer - hits off stump. #yesplease — Charles Dagnall (@CharlesDagnall) January 12, 2019





8:11 hrs IST Khaleel is struggling The young man is not looking in good rhythm at the moment, already 2 no balls in this innings. He has to focus on getting the ball in the right areas to start with





8:03 hrs IST Bowled him Length ball, shaping back in, Finch takes the forward stride, but not close to the pitch of the ball and the movement seams back in and knocks over the stumps. Early strike for India





7:54 hrs IST Probing first over Bhuvneshwar has been resting right through the Test series, but has hit his straps perfectly right in the first over. On the money and getting the ball to move after pitching





7:48 hrs IST Anthems have been belted out The action is about to commence, the teams look in good nick. Australia with the retro kit are looking sharp indeed. Let the game begin! Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the new ball





7:26 hrs IST Playing XI India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, K Khaleel Ahmed Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), Alex Carey(w), Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Lyon, Peter Siddle, Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendorff





7:25 hrs IST Australia bat first Finch wins the toss and Australia will bat first. Kohli says he would have batted first too. Virat Kohli: We would have batted first as well but some of the players are inclined towards chasing. It’s a brilliant wicket to play on, with shorter boundary on one side. It’s going to be an exciting chase as I am always inclined towards chasing. Anyways we have to bowl first now. We are always looking to improve. We need to strike when the big games arrive. When two quality players (Hardik and Rahul) are not featuring, it affects the balance of the side. Jadeja is back in the side, let’s see what he’s got to offer.





7:14 hrs IST The bowlers Early visuals indicate that Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Shami, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the seamers and Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will be the two spinners





7:07 hrs IST Perspective Peter Siddle makes his first ODI appearance since November 2010 today!
