00:00Edge! This time gone! Good set of hands, Aaron Finch. What about the damage Mitch
00:13Stark's doing at the top of the order? Crashed, and that'll be four. It didn't miss. It was
00:22Faulkner at backwood point by much. That's a boundary.
00:30Up and away. Have some of that. All the way.
00:36Started well in both Wundayner Nationals. And it continues. So Sandu's got his first wicket.
00:45It hasn't taken long either. He can certainly hit the ball hard. Oh, that should be out.
00:51That's Coley jumping back in the crease again. And he's outsmarted himself.
00:56It's a big wicket for Australia. A massive wicket.
01:05Oh, well struck. That's going all the way. He's latched onto that, Rohit Sharma.
01:12The mustard.
01:13Nice. Straight. That's good batting. Just in the last five minutes, Suresh Rain has started to look comfortable.
01:24Get involved. Show your energy. Show your athleticism.
01:28Given that something, he's given it everything.
01:31What a way to go to 50.
01:39Oh, they take it to him first up. This outfield's fast and hard. It's four.
01:49Has he got this one? Yes, he has.
01:51Sliced up and over the infield. The top spin makes it difficult. And it's made it eventually.
02:03Yeah, he won't want a game off, though. He's in such good form. He'll want to play everything. He'll play a club game.
02:09Oh, again, it's worked well. Short and on the line of leg stumps. Not the place to bowl to run up.
02:21383 was too much. Oh, inside edge. Very handy. And that's 90 now for Sharma.
02:31How do you believe that's Mr. Bales?
02:34Oh, glided beautifully.
02:37Faulkner turns quickly for that one because that is class like the one before.
02:42Yes, everyone'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.
02:50And out. There's the breakthrough.
02:54Straight after he gets 50. He went for the big one down the ground.
02:59Not a good time to go.
03:01Thumps it.
03:04Donnie's away.
03:08We've made you aware of the ball just starting to move around a little.
03:13That's the third man.
03:15It's another one down the National 100.
03:19Full of class.
03:21Most importantly, it's been an intelligent, intelligent innings.
03:27Ganguly, the neat 100.
03:29Faulkner into the attack.
03:31And that'll run away fine for the boundary.
03:34That's pretty easy for Donnie.
03:36Might have come off the thigh guard.
03:37No, it's been given runs.
03:39The Australians, two and a half overs of extra bowling and runs.
03:43And that's gone fine.
03:45Too fine for the third man.
03:46Even David Warner couldn't get there.
03:50See from Sharma.
03:52Bowled him.
03:53Bowled him.
03:54Chopped it on.
03:56Mitchell Stark.
03:57It's another important wicket for Australia.
04:02Oh, close.
04:03Maybe too much.
04:04No.
04:05Given him.
04:05Once again, full.
04:07Straight.
04:08Low on the pad.
04:09Stark's now got four.
04:11Oh, he's got enough on that two.
04:16Great hitting.
04:17Into the gap.
04:18Over the rope.
04:19Great finish to the over by Sharma.
04:22The 250's up.
04:23There's a square leg back.
04:24Three on the offside in the deep.
04:26Full toss.
04:27Has he got enough?
04:28No, he hasn't.
04:29Straight to Glenn Maxwell.
04:31Mitchell Stark's got five.
04:33Well batted.
04:36Bowled him.
04:37Don't worry about Pfeiffer.
04:39Mitchell Stark's now got six.
04:42One back on the offside for Ashland.
04:47Can't get that on ball.
04:48Going to get a bye, I think, to finish.
04:51That's an excellent over from James Faulkner.
04:53Just five from it.
04:54India finish at eight for 267.
04:57Run rate of 5.34.
05:00And it's time for our New South Wales and Victorian viewers.
05:04You're going to leave us now for the news.
05:06We'll see you back here in half an hour for the Australian run chase.
05:13That'll be four.
05:14A little bit streaky.
05:17That you'll take that when you're starting your innings.
05:22Responsible for letting the authorities know at the time.
05:25Oh, that's been crunched.
05:29That would have felt good off this new blade.
05:33Scorching the grass.
05:35Very nice.
05:36Glad you're enjoying it.
05:37Here's Shammy.
05:38And there goes Shammy.
05:40So, Yadav was too expensive.
05:42Shammy into the attack.
05:45And that was as easy as you like.
05:47And he helps someone's way.
05:52That's just a scoop.
05:55So, this bat's working for him.
05:57He's off to the back there.
06:03Oh, this is up in the air.
06:04This should be out.
06:06Underneath that.
06:08And A-Warner's gone.
06:09Sharish Rayner's got the catch.
06:12That is a massive wicket for India.
06:14He's a cagey young bowler.
06:17That could well be four.
06:21It's a good sign that for Shane Watson.
06:22He's under the spinner early.
06:24What he needs to do, Shane Watson, get himself moving.
06:28Second boundary.
06:29Oh, Watson down the ground.
06:35With power.
06:37How well is he playing tonight?
06:39He loves the MCG.
06:41And he's lighting it up.
06:42One for 98.
06:47Finch backs away.
06:48Cuts through the offside.
06:50There's three men on the ring.
06:52No one behind.
06:54Very quickly into position to play this shot.
06:57He'll be working out where he can score a boundary.
07:03Oh, he's gone.
07:05Patel's got one on the stumps at the right pace for the sweet shot to be missed.
07:11Tried for the big shot.
07:13Masters, we're talking about rotating the strike and singles.
07:17Just put off a little more than he could chew there, Watson.
07:23Oh, well placed.
07:24From a roundabout middle and off.
07:30Takes Aaron Finch to 50.
07:32The simplest of strokes.
07:34Well executed.
07:40Oh, yes.
07:43Oh, there's a man in form.
07:46Steve Smith.
07:49This now as well.
07:50Not hurried.
07:50He's in control of his game and feels like the team's in control of this game.
07:55Oh, nice.
07:56Oh, well placed.
07:57That's what I meant about Steve Smith's hands.
08:04A lovely gift he has.
08:05Finchie straight.
08:12And long.
08:14He likes the look of Suresh Reiner.
08:16Oh, Finchissime ball.
08:18Straight down the ground.
08:25What a shot that is.
08:27That is class.
08:29Steve Smith is all class.
08:31We'll take another look at that after the break.
08:332 for 191.
08:37Finch has been the most prominent with twos.
08:41He's at 10 twos.
08:43Normally there's more than that.
08:44Steve Smith.
08:46His innings comes to an end.
08:49Ravi Ashwin at mid-wicket.
08:50That was another one of those slow-walled bounces from Shammy.
08:55Some of it just 49 to win.
08:57Is it to try and get it over and done with quickly?
08:58Or just to give Glenn Maxwell a bit of a hit after missing out in Sydney?
09:02Oh, that's out.
09:04Yadda back into the attack with success.
09:07Finch is cut short.
09:08Two new batsmen.
09:15Even at five and over.
09:16It's another game now.
09:18Oh.
09:20Oh, he's ducked that.
09:23It's hit the periscope.
09:24And fallen safely.
09:25How lucky can you get?
09:31Completely done over.
09:32And somehow it flies into safety.
09:35Again, they've kept both men back down the ground for George Bailey.
09:40Oh, I think he's got him.
09:43He's not only clipped his thigh pad on the way through to Dhoni's gloves,
09:47but he's stumped him as well.
09:49Moment of magic from MS Dhoni.
09:52Yeah, but you'd take a leg side catch anyway.
09:57That's just as good in that scenario.
09:59Oh, he smashed that.
10:01It's come from nowhere.
10:05Maxwell goes to 11.
10:08Stick or twist.
10:12Out he comes again.
10:13It's flat enough to stay out of the hands of the fielder.
10:16Ten off the last two.
10:19An eventful over.
10:20Twelve runs and a wicket.
10:22Now there's 27 to win off 36.
10:31He's got him.
10:32Nicely bowled, Kumar.
10:34Slower ball.
10:35Chipped it back.
10:36And it took a good catch, too.
10:37He judged that well.
10:44Heaves it away.
10:45There's the boundary.
10:46One bounce.
10:47And over the rope.
10:50Faulkner, the finisher.
10:51There he goes.
10:52He launches.
10:54Here we go.
10:56Hits it through the offside.
10:57No, he doesn't.
10:58Hit the stumps.
10:59No.
11:00Single.
11:02Had to hit the stumps there.
11:04Give it up.
11:05Bussman have given it up.
11:06He said, fine leg up inside the circle.
11:10Third man up inside the circle.
11:15Through the offside.
11:16Brad Hatton at his best.
11:21Absolute scream of this.
11:23Has he got a fine?
11:27He's done it again, James Faulkner.
11:29Boy, he's a handy cricketer, this guy.
11:32Just gets you home, doesn't he?
11:35In Manhattan, they've done a really good job here.
11:37They've added 21 for this last wicket.
11:39And have got Australia over the line.
11:41And they're two from two in this series.
11:42Well, it's been a terrific game.
11:44A terrific chase by Australia.
11:47India have run them close.
11:49Probably think that they've been 20 or 30 short.
11:52But, yeah, well finished.
