J Bumrah to G Maxwell, FOUR! Releases all the pressure that was building. Top shot to get off the mark from Maxwell. Bumrah is guilty of bowling it a little too full here. Maxwell strokes it with the full face of the bat, through covers and it races away to the fence. 4 runs and a wicket from this over. Another good over for India. 118 in 102 needed.

J Bumrah to A Finch, OUT! No it does not! The ball is just clipping the leg stump and the Aussie skipper is a goner. Bumrah strikes and Australia have lost two in two balls. A fuller length ball on middle, going on with the angle. Finch is stuck in his crease and looks to push the ball without much foot movement. Misses it and gets struck on the pads. The umpire raises his finger as the Indians appeal. Aaron Finch consults his partner and reviews. The replays roll in, show us there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking follows and shows us that the ball would have just gone on to clip the leg stump. The umpire's call will stand, Finch has to go but fortunately does not take a review with him. These wickets will fire up the Indians, much-needed for them defending a small total.

20:55 (IST) Feb 24

Review time... Aaron Finch has been adjudged LBW here first ball, he has gone upstairs here. The only saving grace here could be if the ball misses the leg stump. Will it?

20:55 (IST) Feb 24

Aaron Finch, the skipper walks in at number 3.

Overs1.6
Score5 - 1

Y Chahal to D Short, OUT! The crowd here erupts as Stoinis is just short and this is the worst start possible for the Aussies. This is the last thing the visitors would have wanted, a run out. Short works this ball on the pads towards the right of Yadav at short fine leg. Stoinis is in a hurry to get to the other end but D'Arcy is not interested. Marcus now has to turn back and get into the crease. In the meantime, Yadav throws the ball to the bowler who collects it and whips the bails off. An appeal follows and it is a confident one and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Stoinis has to take the long walk back. A run and run out from this over, top stuff from Chahal.

20:53 (IST) Feb 24

Run out appeal... The Indians are celebrating here. Marcus Stoinis, the man in question looks a bit worried. Let's see what the replays have to say about Umesh Yadav's throw and run out attempt.
