    What a hit from Hardik Pandya. Just when the equation gets tricky, he swings it back in India's favour.

    Ind 253-5published at 47 overs

    Need 12 from 18 balls

    Again, just as the dot balls are building, Hardik Pandya swings things back in India's favour.

    Back-to-back sixes from the final two balls, and Australia are deflated.

    Big moment.

    Adam Zampa, who has 2-45, will bowl his last over.

    Nathan Ellis has asked questions today, he has bowled so well. But India are not going to be too worried about a dot ball here and there.

  5. Ind 238-5published at 46 overs

    Need 27 from 24 balls

    Exceptional from Nathan Ellis, just one from his penultimate over.

    Australia's bowlers have built pressure at times, but India have been ruthless in picking the right moments to put it back on them.

    Has there ever been a time when Hardik Pandya has been at the crease, needing more than a run a ball, and he hasn't brought it home?

    This man does not feel pressure.

    That's the biggest six of the night, I reckon.

  8. 6 runs

    Ind 237-5published at 45 overs

    Need 28 from 30 balls

    And Hardik wins the battle!

    An enormous six straight down the ground.

    Two more sprinted from the final ball, and that's eight from the over with all the pressure gone. Brilliant batting.

  9. Ind 229-5published at 44.4 overs

    Four dot balls from Tanveer Sangha to Hardik Pandya.

    It's bubbling...

    Target 265

    Oooh, an enthusiastic appeal from Nathan Ellis as he thinks he's got KL Rahul caught down the leg side.

    Nothing from the umpire, and Josh Inglis isn't convinced behind the stumps either - and wisely, because replays show it came off the pad.

    I cannot believe what we have just seen. Virat Kohli could have had another century.

    He was batting so, so well.

  13. Ind 226-5published at 43 overs

    Hardik Pandya joins KL Rahul in the middle.

    39 from 42 balls required.

    That is the first shot in anger Virat Kolhi has played. He has be so disciplined. All he had to do was keep knocking the ball along the carpet.

    A silly mistake to make at this point in the game. He's even been told off by KL Rahul at the other end.

    Kohli c Dwarshuis b Zampa 84 (Ind 225-5)

    From nowhere!

    A rare lapse in concentration from Virat Kohli and it's cost him. It's a needless shot considering KL Rahul had just smashed a six, picking out Ben Dwarshuis at long-on.

    Can Australia capitalise?

    OK, now they're in a hurry.

    KL Rahul clubs Adam Zampa down the ground for six.

    Australia are encouraging the aggressive stroke and KL Rahul is happy to take on that challenge.

    Target 265

    Here we go.

    KL Rahul is on the attack, four more launched over mid-on.

    Virat Kohli punches the air in delight.

    That's a good shot from KL Rahul. He's slowly getting it back to a run a ball. He just clears the front leg and clubs it straight down the ground for four.

    Target 265

    Just as the tension was building, KL Rahul lofts Tanveer Sangha down the ground for a one-bounce four.

    What has Steve Smith got up his sleeve?
