00:00Edge, this time gone. Good set of hands, Aaron Finch. What about the damage Mitch Stark's doing at the top of the order?

00:14Crashed, and that'll be four. It didn't miss. It was Faulkner at backward point by much. That's a boundary.

00:21Up and away. Have some of that. All the way.

00:32Started well in both Mundane Nationals. And it continues. So, Sandu's got his first wicket. It hasn't taken long either.

00:43He can certainly hit the ball hard. Oh, that should be out. That's Coley. Jumping back in the crease again. And he's outsmarted himself.

00:53It's a big wicket for Australia. A massive wicket.

01:01Oh, well struck. That's going all the way. He's latched onto that row at Sharma.

01:08He must have.

01:11Nice. Straight. That's good batting. Just in the last five minutes, Suresh Rain has started to look comfortable.

01:20Get involved. Show your energy. Show your athleticism.

01:24Given that something, he's given it everything. What a way to go to 50.

01:32Oh, they take it to him first up. This outfield's fast and hard. It's four.

01:45Has he got this one? Yes, he has. Sliced up and over the infield. The top spin makes it difficult. And it's made it eventually.

01:56Yeah, he won't want a game off that. He's in such good form. He'll want to play everything. He'll play a club game.

02:04Oh, again it's worked well. Short and on the line of leg stumps. Not the place to bowl to Rainer.

02:13383 was too much. Oh, inside edge. Very handy. And that's 90 now for Sharma.

02:23I can't believe that's missed the ball.

02:25Oh, glided beautifully. Faulkner turns quickly for that one because that is class. Like the one before.

02:33Yes, everyone's got the big shots and loves to play the big shots. But the other thing is, you've got to be able to play the big shots.

02:39Everyone's got the big shots and loves to play the big shots. But the art of being able to get bat on ball and get off strike is huge.

02:46And out. There's the breakthrough. Straight after he gets 50, he went for the big one down the ground.

02:55Not a good time to go.

02:59Thompson. Doney's away.

03:02They've made you aware of the ball just starting to move around a little.

03:06That's the third man. It's another one day in the National 100.

03:12Full of class. Most importantly, it's been an intelligent, intelligent innings.

03:20Ganguly, the neat hundred. Faulkner into the attack.

03:23Ganguly, the neat hundred. Faulkner into the attack.

03:27And that'll run away fine for a boundary.

03:30That's pretty easy for Doney.

03:33No, it's been given runs.

03:35The Australians, two and a half overs of extra bowling and runs.

03:39And that's gone fine. Too fine for the third man.

03:44Even David Warner couldn't get there.

03:47Seeing from Sharma.

03:49Boldy. Chopped it on.

03:52Mitchell Stark. It's another important wicket for Australia.

03:58Oh, close. Maybe too much. No. Given him.

04:02Once again, full. Straight. Low on the pads. Stark's now got four.

04:10Oh, he's got enough on that too.

04:12Great hitting. Into the gap. Over the rope.

04:15Great finish to the over by Sharma.

04:18The 250's up.

04:20There's a square leg back. Three on the offside in the deep.

04:23Full toss. Has he got enough? No, he hasn't.

04:25Straight to Glenn Maxwell. Mitchell Stark's got five.

04:30Well batted.

04:32Boldy. Don't worry about Pfeiffer.

04:35Mitchell Stark's now got six.

04:39One back on the offside for Ashland.

04:42Can't get that on ball.

04:45Gonna get a bye, I think, to finish.

04:47That's an excellent over from James Faulkner. Just five from it.

04:51India finish at eight for 267. Run rate of 5.34.

04:56And it's time for our New South Wales and Victorian viewers.

05:00You're gonna leave us now for the news.

05:02We'll see you back here in half an hour for the Australian run chase.

05:06That'll be four. A little bit streaky.

05:11But you'll take that when you start in your innings.

05:16Responsible for letting the authorities know at the time.

05:20Oh, that's been crunched.

05:23That would have felt good off this new blade.

05:26Scorching the grass.

05:29Very nice. Glad you're enjoying it.

05:32Here's Shammy.

05:33And there goes Shammy.

05:35So, yeah, that was too expensive. Shammy into the attack.

05:39And that was as easy as your life.

05:46And he helped someone sway. That's just a scoop.

05:50So this bat's working for him.

05:55He's off to the back there.

05:58Oh, this is up in the air. This should be out.

06:00Underneath it. And overall it's gone.

06:04Suresh Rainer's got the catch. That is a massive wicket for India.

06:08He's a cagey young bowler.

06:11That could well be four.

06:14It's a good sign that for Shane Watson. He's under the spinner early.

06:18What he needs to do, Shane Watson, get himself moving.

06:22Second boundary.

06:26Oh, Watson down the ground.

06:28Oh, Watson down the ground.

06:31With power.

06:33How well is he playing tonight? He loves the MCG.

06:37And he's lighting it up. One for 98.

06:43Finch backs away. Cuts through the offside.

06:47There's three men on the ring. No one behind.

06:50Very quickly into position to play this shot.

06:54He's working out where he can score the boundary.

06:59Oh, he's gone.

07:02Patel's got one on the stumps at the right pace for the sweet shot to be missed.

07:07Tried for the big shot.

07:09Just as we're talking about rotating the strike and singles.

07:13Just bit off a little more than he could chew there, Watson.

07:19Very well placed.

07:21From around about middle and off.

07:23Takes Aaron Finch to 50.

07:26Simplest strokes.

07:28Well executed.

07:35Oh, yes.

07:38Oh, there's a man in form.

07:40Steve Smith.

07:43This now as well. Not hurried.

07:45In control of his game and feels like the team's in control of this game.

07:48Oh, well placed. That's what I meant about Steve Smith's hands.

07:57Lovely gift he has.

08:02Finching straight.

08:04And long.

08:06He likes the look of Suresh Raina.

08:09Oh, Finchissimo.

08:11Straight down the ground.

08:14Straight down the ground.

08:21What a shot that is.

08:23That is class.

08:25Steve Smith is all class.

08:28Take another look at that after the break. 2 for 191.

08:33Finch has been the most prominent with twos.

08:37He's 10 twos.

08:39Normally there's more than that.

08:40Steve Smith.

08:42His innings comes to an end.

08:44Ravi Ashwin at midweekend.

08:47That was another one of those slow ball bounces from Shami.

08:50Just 49 to win.

08:53Is it to try and get it over and done with quickly or just to give Glenn Maxwell a bit of a hit after missing out in Sydney?

08:58Oh, that's out.

09:00Yadda back into the attack with success.

09:03Finch is cut short.

09:08Two new batsmen.

09:11The unit five and over. It's another game now.

09:17Oh, he's ducked that.

09:19It's hit the periscope and fallen safely.

09:24How lucky can you get?

09:27Completely done over and somehow it flies into safety.

09:32Again, they've kept both men back down the ground for George Bailey.

09:37Oh, I think he's got him.

09:39He's not only clipped his thigh pad on the way through to Dhoni's gloves, but he's stumped him as well.

09:46Moment of magic from MS Dhoni.

09:50Yeah, but you'd take a leg side catch anyway.

09:53That's just as good in that scenario.

09:55Oh, he's smashed that.

09:58It's come from nowhere.

10:01Maxwell goes to 11.

10:05Stick or twist.

10:08Out he comes again.

10:10It's flat enough to stay out of the hands of the fielder.

10:13Ten off the last two.

10:15An eventful over. Twelve runs and a wicket.

10:18Now there's 27 to win, off 36.

10:27He's got him.

10:29Nicely bowled, Kumar.

10:31Chipped it back and it took a good catch too.

10:34He judged that well.

10:39Heaves it away. There's the boundary.

10:42One bounce and over the rope.

10:45Faulkner, the finisher. There he goes. He launches.

10:49Here we go.

10:51Hits it through the offside. No, he doesn't.

10:54Hit the stumps. No.

10:56Single.

10:58Had to hit the stumps there.

11:00Give it up. Basman have given it up.

11:03He said finally up inside the circle.

11:06Third man up inside the circle.

11:10Through the offside.

11:12Brad Haddon at his best.

11:16Absolute screamer, this.

11:22He's got a find. He's done it again, James Faulkner.

11:25Boy, he's a handy cricketer, this guy.

11:28Just gets you home, doesn't he?

11:30In Manhattan, they've done a really good job here.

11:33They've added 21 for this last wicket.

11:35They've got Australia over the line.

11:37They're two from two in this series.

11:39Well, it's been a terrific game.

11:41A terrific chase by Australia.

11:43India of Rumban Club.
