Kohli mistimed a pull shot to a ball which skidded through, kept lower than expected and hit him flush on the pad. The on-field decision was not out, but the Australians went to the DRS. This showed the ball clipping less than half of the bails, meaning it remained not out. Had more of the bails been in line to be hit, Kohli would have been out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8.11pm<\/p>\n Two Australian women\u2019s players \u2018touched inappropriately\u2019 in India, CA says<\/p>\n 8.02pm<\/p>\n Sharma posts his 60th \u2026 ODI half century<\/p>\n Rohit Sharma was a batting mess last summer in India\u2019s Test tour here, but his form this week, including tonight, in the white-ball format has been excellent. He\u2019s just acknowledged another half-century in his decorated white-ball career. He averages about 70 at the SCG in white-ball cricket, and it\u2019s showing tonight.<\/p>\n India are 1-124 in the 22nd over, chasing 237 for victory.<\/p>\n Excellent touch: Rohit Sharma has taken to the Australian attack tonight.Credit: Getty Images<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.43pm<\/p>\n Marsh turns to striker Starc<\/p>\n Skipper Mitch Marsh has turned to spearhead Mitchell Starc to make a breakthrough here.

Pretty special. So loud. That bomb over cover was also outstanding from Rohit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.29pm<\/p>\n Crowd at fever pitch as Kohli takes aim; Waugh-esque atmosphere<\/p>\n Veteran commentator Kerry O\u2019Keeffe said on Fox Cricket he had never witnessed such passion for a visiting player as what was on show at the SCG tonight. It seems everyone wants Kohli to ton up. Shades of Steve Waugh at the SCG? We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n What a day: Under immense pressure, Steve Waugh transfixed a nation with his century off the final ball of the day against England at the SCG in 2002-03.Credit: Getty<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.20pm<\/p>\n Replay: Here\u2019s how Hazlewood made the breakthrough<\/p>\n 7.15pm<\/p>\n Just when we thought \u2026 Hazlewood strikes; Virat heads to the crease<\/p>\n Josh Hazlewood looked the most likely to strike early, but it wasn\u2019t until his second spell when he induced Gill into a faint edge behind. This brings out Virat Kohli for the last time in Australia. India are 1-69, chasing 237. Kohli, remember, has had successive ducks, but is off the mark with a clip through mid-wicket for a single.<\/p>\n![\"Excellent](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17fdb4b9deec8256b5f31c75ca2adb802c74b318.jpeg\")
