00:00That's it for play to start and here's Ash Debson.
00:07Straight away is in the swing.
00:11Leading down the leg side and he's off.
00:14And away with a typical Steve Smith shot.
00:17Hit on the out.
00:20Let's hit hard, very hard.
00:23Second boundary for Smith.
00:27Another one.
00:28That's the best of the lot.
00:30That wastes away.
00:31Total control.
00:36That's pulled away.
00:37A shot to the green.
00:39Then put away by shot.
00:45Let's trash that to the offside.
00:50He's used the pace here.
00:52To good effect.
00:53One bounce over the room.
00:54One.
00:56Clean do.
00:58A full ball.
01:00Trying to play the line.
01:02If not, Steve Smith is going to be Matthew Shaw.
01:05For Ravi Bishnoye.
01:06And the first wicket down for Australia.
01:12What a start.
01:13To start off.
01:14Drives through the covers.
01:15And it's a boundary for Josh Inglis.
01:18And pace on.
01:20And it goes to the boundary.
01:25Again in the gap.
01:26Again missing his length.
01:28Missing his line.
01:31And then he balls one outside the Oster.
01:35Which has been clattered over point for a six.
01:37Goes for the slower one.
01:40It's been picked very nicely.
01:42Another boundary to Josh Inglis.
01:47Oh, 22 runs coming up at over.
01:53It's a feeling of the deep.
01:55That's well placed again from Josh Inglis.
01:57A lot better.
01:58A lot better.
01:59A lot better.
02:00He's got a rush.
02:01Not striker's end.
02:02Oh my God.
02:04How close was that?
02:06Bishnoye misses it completely.
02:09That should have been wicket number two for India.
02:16Oh, that is amazing piece of timing.
02:22That's a very good shot.
02:24Well timed.
02:25Time.
02:26Well placed.
02:27Will get a boundary Smith.
02:31Has he timed it?
02:32Yes he has.
02:34Goes over long on.
02:36Brings up his 50 with that massive six.
02:3953 of just 29 is maiden.
02:42T20 high half century.
02:44Well played Josh Inglis.
02:48He goes over extra cover.
02:50This is a brilliant shot.
02:52A lot slower.
02:54Picks it up early.
02:56Finishes the over.
02:57With a maximum.
02:5818 from it.
02:59It's 1-1-0 for one after 12.
03:02Steve Smith with a slow sweep.
03:05Troy in the deep.
03:07Pramash Deep Singh doesn't get a hand to it.
03:11They have to come back to Prasad Krishna.
03:14And it's sailed over.
03:16Square Legs head.
03:17Goes into out.
03:18And does enough on it.
03:20Takes it over the rope.
03:22Smashing in both sides.
03:24Smith now having a bit of action of his own.
03:27With an offer again.
03:29And 50 for Steve Smith with that boundary.
03:31He's continuing on his great form from the Big Bash league.
03:32No timing.
03:33Throw at the non-strikers in.
03:35He's there a run out finally.
03:37Is Steve Smith short of his ground because he's walking.
03:43Oh.
03:44Oh.
03:46Oh.
03:47Oh.
03:48Oh.
03:49Oh.
03:50Oh.
03:51Oh.
03:52Oh.

03:59Oh.
04:00Oh.
04:01Oh.
04:05Yeah.
04:07Satisfying.
04:08Wickets broken.
04:09At the shot of the ground.
04:10Ready with my decision for the big spree.
04:13That easy position for the third umpire.
04:16And Steve Smith.
04:18Result will be into the Pravilion for a well made 52.
04:20Australia 161.
04:22Wow.
04:26Now that's out thinking.
04:27Out smarting the Lula.
04:28He's got that fine and a scintillating hundred here, John Singles is first in the international
04:37cricket and it's been the magnificent release.
04:41Oh, he's played a couple of goal shots and they race away to the boundary so quickly.
04:54Just a flick this time, he's taken on the boundary, on the second at camp.
05:00Jess Ward chuckling with the ball, but comes up with a catch.
05:05To end a magnificent release from John Singles.
05:09A hundred and ten of Jess Swiftly.
05:14And is away with the boundary.
05:21Oh, that's crashed through the offside.
05:24Oh, that's a terrific hit.
05:33That's an excellent last over.
05:36Misses it.
05:37Just five runs conceded.
05:42Mukesh Kumar, really the pick of the Indian bowlers.
05:45Four overs, none for 29, but this is a very, very good score from Australia.
05:50Two hundred and eight foot three after their 20 overs.
05:57And this bunch of young batters effect India's highest run chase in T20 international cricket.
06:03They need 209 from their 20 overs.
06:06Here we are with the chase.
06:08What a shot.
06:09What a shot.
06:10Very first ball.
06:11Yeshaz Vijayeswal with a straight man covered right.
06:12Oh, with the push-up.
06:13It's got very high.
06:14And it's gone all the way.
06:15Had to wait for it.
06:16A change of pace from Marcus Toynes.
06:18Once the second.
06:19A bit of a mix-up.
06:20A bit of a fumble from Matthew Wade.
06:21A bit of a fumble from Matthew Wade.
06:25And Druturaj Gajikhoa has been sold down the river without facing a delivery.
06:26Zero off, zero.
06:27And India, 11 for one.
06:28One.
06:29One.
06:30One.
06:31One.
06:32One.
06:33One.
06:34One.
06:35One.
06:36One.
06:37One.
06:38One.
06:39One.
06:40One.
06:41One.
06:42One.
06:43One.
06:44One.
06:45One.
06:46One.
06:47One.
06:48One.
06:49One.
06:50One.
06:51One.
06:52One.
06:53One.
06:54One.
06:55One.
06:56Two.
06:57One.
06:58One.
06:59One.
07:20Two.
07:21One.
07:22Two.
07:23His first international wicket in the form of Yashel Sweejay as well.
07:28Oh, that's exactly where he likes it, Surya Kumar Yadav, disdainfully easy.
07:36This is better, this will go the distance.
07:41Oh, a shot, what a shot.
07:44All the way, an expensive over, this first one from Sean Abbott.
07:48Again, timed extremely well.
07:53This is a quick outfield, and the ball wins again.
07:59That's fine, and four, fine leg up in the circle.
08:06Again, excellent timing.
08:09That is a quality shot.
08:13Smashes it, but straight to the field, oh does well, oh no, he adds in.
08:19Goes Ariel, and goes all the way, Ishan Kishin.
08:27Goes again.
08:29It's in the gap for sure, and it's long enough, another six.
08:34Yes, Sangha is under tremendous pressure now.
08:37Wanted to go over fine leg, but got a very thickish outside edge.
08:49Times it alright.
08:52India and Ishan Kishin needed this one.
08:54It's going to be a good end to this game, and what a way to bring up your fifth half century in T20 Internationals.
09:05Ishan Kishin on the sidelines for the last month and a bit.
09:12Goes again.
09:14Misses.
09:15The tallest man on the field is in.
09:19This time, over extra cover, but finds the fielder.
09:25Mad shot.
09:27A deep extra.
09:29Ishan Kishin is in disbelief, because he thought he timed it alright.
09:35Oh, shot.
09:39What a way for Surya Kumar Yadav to bring up his 16th half century as well.
09:44Two batters who have done it in style.
09:47First, Ishan Kishin, and now Surya Kumar Yadav.
09:49Is that in the gap? Yes. Powered through McViquet football.
10:00Oh, there you go. Just as we talk about it.
10:03It's just plain to the batter's hand if you do something like that.
10:07You need to be extremely accurate.
10:11Coppedge throws it right outside.
10:14Oh, not an easy catch, but a stunning one.
10:17By Markus Steinis.
10:19The ball was swirling.
10:21Tilekoba gone for 12.
10:23It's 1.54 for 4.
10:28What a fine placement.
10:30It's not about muscle all the time.
10:32It's about cricketing smarts.
10:36Oh, once again, fine placement.
10:39The master of T20s at its best.
10:42Oh, picks it up nicely.
10:45Oh, the shot's fine.
10:46Saw that extra delivery has cost.
10:52Boundary of the first ball.
10:55Oh, clean strike.
10:57And that'll be six.
10:59Oh, he's at his best now.
11:01He's been there long enough.
11:03Oh, he's at his best now.
11:05He's been there long enough.
11:08And he just peppers every corner of the field.
11:18Proper 360 degree player, this.
11:24That's up in the air.
11:28Oh, what catching this is from Australia.
11:31This is brilliant gadget.
11:33The skipper trunches off.
11:3580 off 42.
11:36Fantastic knock.
11:38India 194 for 5.
11:42Well, Rink Goussain bangs it down the ground.
11:45For 4.
11:49And sliced away for 4.
11:53That's up in the air.
11:54Now, what's happened here now is India still need two.
12:04Three balls remaining and a new batsman will be on strike.
12:10Swing, Messi.
12:12And a run out.
12:20So, another wicket goes.
12:22Bishnoi run out.
12:24But, Rinklesing will be on strike.
12:26It's still not over.
12:28India still need two.
12:30Two balls remaining.
12:34Swings away on the onside.
12:36Wants to come for two.
12:37One for two.
12:40Oh, another run out.
12:43Another run out, it looks like.
12:47Thank you, director.
12:48Better shot off the ground.
12:49Pick is broken.
12:50I'm ready with my decision for the big screen.
12:55So, scores level.
12:57Asli Singh has to go to a hit for it.
13:00Here comes Abbott.
13:01Rinklesing.
13:03Hits it.
13:05Many a mile.
13:07Way back into the crowd.
13:09And India.
13:11Win the first game.
13:13In the five match T20 series.
13:15And again it's that man.
13:17Rinklesing.
13:21Cooled as a cucumber.
13:23Calm as.
13:25Just finishing things off.
13:27Off a no ball.
13:29And playing a nice little cameo.
13:3122 not out of 14.
13:32But Surya Kumar Yadav.
13:34Top scorer with 80.
13:36And...
