India are heading for the gallows here. Last man Umesh Yadav lopes to the wicket. Australia bring nearly everyone up into the slips.

"James Faulkner clearly has a mind to finish it here."

"The angle did him. It was probably a slightly off-pace delivery, but Ashwin gave himself a lot of room. That's another nail in the coffin."

Ashwin can't connect with a couple of shorter deliveries from Faulkner, before missing a straight one when he gives himself room.

The game is clearly up for India, but interestingly, Faulkner is rushing back to his mark between deliveries. Do they fear an over-rate fine?

"Dhoni goes, cue the biggest exodus since Moses led his people out of Egypt. Where once was a sea of blue shirts is now swathes of empty seats."

Mohammed Shami is the new batsman - just the three fast bowlers to come in now - and it's as if a weight has been lifted off Australia's shoulders.

Ashwin pushes a single, and for those of you on Fantasy Island, India need 97 from 30 balls to win. All they need is to sneak AB de Villiers onto the pitch in a Mohammed Shami mask. Or Superman - the effect is much the same.

"People are swarming out of the stadium. I reckon 20,000 people have gone in one minute."

"It looked as if Dhoni made no real effort to make his ground. If he'd dived full length he would have made it. A strange end to a strange innings - Dhoni threatened much but never delivered. That has to be curtains for India."

All over? Dhoni gone in bizarre circumstances, as he hits the ball to mid-wicket, where Glenn Maxwell has only one stump to aim at, and Dhoni seemingly slows up as he approaches the bowler's end - as if knowing he would be run out and have no chance if the throw hit. Which it did. Game over? Time for the fat lady to start warming up her vocal cords?

Mitchell Starc to bowl, with three left - will he send down overs 45, 47 and 49? Again, if Dhoni has a strategy, it may be to keep his powder dry for the lesser bowlers at the other end. India get a bonus run, and a bonus delivery, as a high, wide full toss is called a no-ball for height as it was above Ashwin's waist.

Alice Stainer: Feeling a bit frustrated by India. Don't feel they are gunning for it enough. Somebody light their touchpaper, quick!

With the required rate up to 16, Dhoni seems reluctant to throw the kitchen sink at Johnson - again, three more singles mean it's five from the over. Johnson is done for the day with 2-50 from his 10.

India need 101 from 36 balls - six of which will probably come from Watson, 12 from Faulkner, and 18 from Starc.

"Faulkner has two overs remaining, and India will have their eye on him. Dhoni will be thinking he might be vulnerable."

An interesting question - when should Australia use their remaining "part-time" over? Allan Border seems to agree with the theory that you can leave it until the 50th, in the hope that India could need 28 by then - and I think I concur. Johnson will finish his spell, and India can only manage two singles off the first three balls. 104 from 39 is the target.

Taurai Mukahlera: That's settled! Man-of-the-match, Steven Smith. Unless MSD can hit the universe's most sensational ton

A low full toss is bludgeoned for one. Ashwin has to look for a single to get his skipper on strike, and an uppercut to third man does so with one ball left. And a single ensures Dhoni will face the next over with 106 needed from 42 balls.

"Dhoni is the great finisher. If he's there at the end, India tend to win. The Australian fieldsmen have got to be on their toes."

Safe to say, Dhoni is going for it - bringing up his fifty by smacking Watson's first ball over cover for six! Next ball, six more over long-off!

121 needed from 48 balls has become 109 from 46. Don't go away...

"Dhoni has got to go now. He can't expect to get 25 an over from four overs - that's just ridiculous."
