- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR32.1 another soft dismissal.. Slower outside off with a lot of flight, Khawaja comes down the track to find the gap over extra cover but the ball spins into him taking the inner half of the bat. He ends up spooning a simple catch to long-off. Big wicket for India. 159/413.4 very tame dismissal. Shortish outside off, Burns goes back and tries to play against the turn into the off side. The ball stops on Burns and he is through the shot early, ends up lobbing a simple return catch in front of his eyes 82/126.3 gone this time. Some flight on middle and leg, Head advances down the track to pick the gap through or over midwicket but fails to keep it down. Chips in the air straight to short midwicket who takes a good sharp catch, the ball was really travelling there 138/229.5 gone! Clipped off his pads in the air straight to square leg, good diving catch by Pandey. Nothing delivery on middle and leg. Lynn doesn't look to go over or keep it down. The indecision accounts for Lynn 148/341.4 oh gone. Ferguson holes out to deep midwicket. Flighted again on middle and Ferguson is quick to come down the track and slog uppishly towards midwicket. Didn't get enough connection on that, ends up straight down the fielder's throat. Huge wicket for India 190/634.2 given! But out for what? The ball spins in from well outside off and hits Wade high on the pads and lobs up for Samson to take. The umpire thinks of it for a while and raises the finger. Hmm, interesting call. Wade wasn't too happy. Was quite close to lbw though. Umpires call for impact but could have been high 164/543.2 another one goes! Agar comes down the track to try and loft over long-on and hits it well too. But picks out the fielder at long-on. Another batsman holes out in the deep. Can India bowl Australia out now? 194/747.2 another wicket. Slower on off, NCN goes for the big heave into the leg side over midwicket but only spoosn the top edge in the air where Axar himself gets under it and takes a good catch. NCN aplogises to Axar for coming in his way, but Axar held on. 207/849.4 slower delivery outside off again, another offcutter. Pattinson tries to flat-bat the ball over the leg side boundary in front of square. The offcut takes the ball away from Pattinson and he skies a simple catch for Axar at long-on 224/9Extras16 (b 5, lb 2, w 9)TOTAL226/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.52)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Joe Burns, 13.4 ov), 2-138 (Travis Head, 26.3 ov), 3-148 (Chris Lynn, 29.5 ov), 4-159 (Usman Khawaja, 32.1 ov), 5-164 (Matthew Wade, 34.2 ov), 6-190 (Callum Ferguson, 41.4 ov), 7-194 (Ashton Agar, 43.2 ov), 8-207 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 47.2 ov), 9-224 (James Pattinson, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 pushed to point and they run through. But he is gone. Run out. What a way to go. He is easily inside the crease but doesn't ground his feet or get anything within the crease. Instead, he jumps in trying to avoid the throw from point. the throw is accurate to the strikers end and he has to go. What a shame. Pathetic way to get out. The throw was full towards the base of the stump, no reason to jump either. 59/110.5 another wicket for Aus. Poor shot by Chand. Tries to loft it over cover but doesn't get under it enough. Ends up lobbing a catch straight to cover. Chand doesn't want to go but if you hit it in the air, then be prepared. Two quick wickets for Australia A 64/216.4 sliding down leg maybe. No, given. Very late call by the umpire. looked like it could have been sliding down. Pushed through flatter and quicker, Pandey misses the flick and is hit on the pads. Struck on the leg stump line and drifting on with the arm. 82/411.2 given. Nair is unhappy with the decision. Short of a length on middle from around the stumps, Karun is beaten on the inside edge or he gets the inside edge. Inconclusive though.Given out caught behind. There was a noise, was it the bat or the pad though? Hard to tell. Wade threw the ball up immediately after catching it. Hmm, another interesting decision. 65/321.3 he has picked out the one fielder in the deep on the leg side. Low full toss on middle again and Jadhav is early on the sweep, gets down nicely and smashes the sweep. But straight to deep square leg, down his throat. What a big wicket in the match for Aus A. 108/528.3 gone this time. Very timely wicket for Australia A. Short and wide outside off, Axar goes for the pull but ends up skewing it in the air for a straightforward catch to short midwicket. 142/6Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL229/6 (43.3 Overs, RR: 5.26)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Mayank Agarwal, 8.3 ov), 2-64 (Unmukt Chand, 10.5 ov), 3-65 (Karun Nair, 11.2 ov), 4-82 (Manish Pandey, 16.4 ov), 5-108 (Kedar Jadhav, 21.3 ov), 6-142 (Axar Patel, 28.3 ov)
