13th over: Australia 57-1 (Short 15, Renshaw 2) An attempted barbeque! Goodness me. Renshaw emerges, a left-hander, and flicks a ball from Harshit Rana to midwicket. Yells “No!” loudly but also takes several loping steps down the pitch, so Matt Short responds with a few steps, and there’s a slight fumble, and Renshaw then says yes and keeps running, but Short has stopped with the previous call for no. So Renshaw is much further down the pitch and has a chance to make it, but Short has no chance, and has to run anyway. Knowing that he’s gone with a direct hit, he watches the throw from Shreyas fly wide of the target. One can only be fatalistic across those 22 yards.

WICKET! Head c Kohli b Rana 28, Australia 54-2
The big one! Head has been looking to play through midwicket all day, and it brings him undone this time. Too early on the shot, leading edge as he tries to flick. And at Rana’s pace, that edge goes miles in the air, miles. It takes so long to come down, but when it does, it lands in Kohli’s hands at mid off.
12th over: Australia 53-1 (Head 28, Short 13) Spin in the 12th over for Washington Sundar, and predictably there’s no slip, but less predictably Short nicks the first ball right where one would have stood. Two runs, a few singles to follow.
11th over: Australia 48-1 (Head 27, Short 9) Harshit Rana the first bowling change, who bowled so well in the Perth Test last year. Streaky from Head early on, throws the bat and slices a boundary over the cordon. Not that there is a cordon exactly, but you know what I mean.
10th over: Australia 42-1 (Head 22, Short 8) Matt Short gets something going! Last ball of Arshdeep’s over, leans back and smokes it over deep backward square. That’s one way to start an innings.
9th over: Australia 33-1 (Head 20, Short 1) Siraj keeps the tap turned off! Six whole balls to Head, and only a single from the last. The pressure index keeps rising…
8th over: Australia 32-1 (Head 19, Short 1) Matt Short out to the middle now, another opportunity for him.
ShareWICKET! Marsh c Rahul b Arshdeep 11, Australia 30-1
There it goes! Marsh gets away the ball before that, lifting Arshdeep over cover, but falls trying to double down. That’s a real heave at a length ball outside off, Marsh’s back contorting as he tries to muscle it. But he feathers it instead, to the keeper. Reward for good early Indian work.
7th over: Australia 26-0 (Marsh 7, Head 18) Into the seventh over and still no boundaries. Head is hit on the pad trying to slap across the line at Siraj. Digs out a yorker and gets three runs for it down the ground. Just looked a defensive shot at first but it keeps running. Marsh races a single to give the strike back, and from the final ball Head finally breaks free, flicking for six. Wobble-seam delivery from Siraj, in at the pads, and he’s able to get under it by whipping across the line over square leg. Some shot.
6th over: Australia 15-0 (Marsh 5, Head 9) And again! Marsh takes six more balls to find a run, this time from Arshdeep. Hits one to cover, can’t beat the field, and the only way he can score in the end is running the ball to deep third. There’s a wide in there though, a shorter ball, so Head gets a seventh ball to score a couple through midwicket, that ungainly jab again.
5th over: Australia 11-0 (Marsh 4, Head 7) We formally retract all claims about fast starts. Marsh sometimes has a look at an over or two before going, but today he’s recognising the quality of these opening spells and opting to wait. Siraj bowls another excellent over: good length, tight line, and only giving up a single from the last ball.
4th over: Australia 10-0 (Marsh 3, Head 7) Travis Head can’t find his flow yet against Arshdeep. Attempts an uppercut after the ball has passed, jabs a couple of runs through midwicket, then is missed – I wouldn’t exactly call it a drop. Hits a flick in that same midwicket area, in the air, and Nitish Kumar Reddy flies. Both feet off the ground, hand outstretched behind him, and gets one hand to that ball, but the degree of difficulty is extreme and he loses it on the way down. Other fielders aren’t touching that one, but I guess on the metrics it goes down as a drop.
3rd over: Australia 8-0 (Marsh 3, Head 5) This is a top effort from Siraj so far. Gives up a couple as Head jams the first one to fine leg, but draws a leading edge that’s risky for Head, but gets him off strike. Then Siraj moves the ball away from Marsh, beating him twice with swing.
2nd over: Australia 5-0 (Marsh 3, Head 2) No fireworks yet, as Arshdeep Singh the left-armer is swinging the ball away from Travis Head. It takes him four balls to even get off strike.
Updated at 04.17 EDT
1st over: Australia 4-0 (Marsh 3, Head 1) A good start from Mohammad Siraj, hits his line outside the off stump to Marsh, who is willing to reach for one ball to drive it along the floor for three, but otherwise caution is the way. A bit of movement off the surface. Some late sunlight lies in streaks across the hill.

Geoff Lemon
Thanks Martin. An old-fashioned kind of one-day score, while Head and Marsh play in a distinctly new-fashioned way, so expect to see plenty of shots early. This is Adelaide Oval, a nice place to bat, on what looks from a distance like a pleasant evening, though on its way to getting chilly as the night grows later.
ShareAustralia need 265 to win
India’s batters fail to truly get going but have at least given their bowlers something to work with after reaching 264-9 under sunny skies at Adelaide Oval. Rohit Sharma turned back the clock with 73 runs from 97 balls after a slow start, while Shreyas Iyer (61) and Axar Patel (44) helped build a competitive total from the middle-order. But Virat Kohli is at risk of ending his career on Australian soil in the worst possible fashion after suffering a second duck from as many innings when trapped in front by the hugely promising Xavier Bartlett (3-39).
Josh Hazlewood (0-29) was the pick of Australia’s bowlers despite going wicketless before Adam Zampa (4-60) seemed to cut into the middle and lower-order whenever India threatened to get on top. The likes of Mitch Marsh and Travis Head will be licking their lips at batting on this deck while Geoff Lemon will guide you through the rest of this innings and Australia’s chase at Adelaide Oval – enjoy.

WICKET! Arshdeep b Starc 13 (India 263-9)
Mitchell Starc is given the responsibility of the last over despite a frustrating day with the ball. After an at times chaotic over he picks up the wicket of Arshdeep Singh with trademark reverse swing.
50th over: India 264-9 (Rana 24, Siraj 0)
49th over: India 259-8 (Rana 22, Arshdeep 13) Xavier Bartlett caps off a superb afternoon with only four runs coming from his crafty second-last over of the innings. Arshdeep picks up two runs with an ungainly edge but otherwise he and Rana struggle to get the Australia quick away.
48th over: India 255-8 (Rana 21, Arshdeep 10) Arshdeep Singh gets in on the flow of runs as Mitchell Starc signs off with 10 runs coming from his final over on an all round ordinary day for the left-arm quick. Arshdeep steps back to give himself plenty of room for a cut shot to the boundary, then pulls a shorter ball for four.
47th over: India 245-8 (Rana 20, Arshdeep 1) Adam Zampa has caused India all sorts of problems with his craft and guile but Harshit Rana gives him an almighty send off with 16 runs coming from the over. Rana begins with back-to-back boundaries with the first sailing through cover and the next lower risk to third man. Another boundary past point leaves Zampa frustrated as his figures are spoiled to finish with a still influential 4-60.

46th over: India 229-8 (Rana 5, Arshdeep 0) Bartlett’s variety between full and back of a length, outside off and straighter balls keeps Harshit Rana guessing. The India batter eventually picks up a couple with a controlled pull to midwicket.
ShareWICKET! Nitish st Carey b Zampa 8 (India 226-8)
Two in an over for Adam Zampa as Nitish Kumar Reddy dances down the deck but is nowhere near the ball with a while swing. Alex Carey lifts the bails and Australia are well and truly back on top.

WICKET! Axar c Starc b Zampa 44 (India 223-7)
What a catch! Tall fast bowlers shouldn’t be able to take catches like that. Starc grasps the ball just as it’s floating over the long-off boundary then has the time and piece of mind to throw it in the air as he steps outside the field of play. He rebalances and steps back inside the rope to complete the catch.
44th over: India 223-6 (Axar 44, Nitish 7) Nitish clobbers Bartlett with a back foot drive from the opening delivery. One of those powerful, controlled strokes that might be worth even more than four runs. A couple of singles add to the score but six from the over feels light after the way it began.
43rd over: India 217-6 (Axar 43, Nitish 2) Adam Zampa is another bowler who just knows how to claim a wicket from nothing but India see him off this time. Four singles from the over but the tourists need to find a way to start adding some boundaries.

Updated at 02.53 EDT
42nd over: India 213-6 (Axar 41, Nitish 0) Bartlett just keeps finding a way to pick up wickets even with, on this occasion, a full delivery on leg-stump. Nitish Kumar Reddy joins Axar Patel and there are still plenty of overs left for one last big partnership.
ShareWICKET! Sundar c Hazlewood b Bartlett 12 (India 213-6)
Xavier Bartlett made an immediate impact earlier with the wickets of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli in the one over. Now he returns with a handy breakthrough as India were trying to contain enough wickets for a late onslaught. Washington Sundar has mostly held back until swinging at a half-volley that picks out Hazlewood on the deep square leg rope. Hazlewood might be frustrated that he didn’t pick up a scalp or two from his bowling, but he now has a pair of comfortable catches in the deep to ease the pain.
41st over: India 208-5 (Axar 37, Sundar 11) Axar Patel is up and running now and has little trouble dispatching Travis Head straight down the ground for four. But it’s not all wild bluster as Axar and Sundar continue to bide their time and work the ball into gaps for easy singles. India are past 200 now with 10 runs off a useful over including no dot balls.
40th over: India 198-5 (Axar 30, Sundar 9) Axar Patel enjoys the return of pace and width from Mitchell Starc as he immediately slashes a drive over cover for four. A clip through midwicket is much more controlled but is worth just as much. The boundaries help India to 12 from the over as they close in on the 200-mark.
39th over: India 186-5 (Axar 20, Sundar 8) Travis Head comes into the attack as Australia look to pull a wicket out of the bag. The India batters comfortably pick up a single from each delivery.
38th over: India 180-5 (Axar 17, Sundar 5) Hazlewood bowls out his 10th over early as India remain watchful with just three singles coming from it. The Australia quick finishes with 0-29 but even those tidy figures don’t tell the full story of how superb he has been.

Updated at 03.32 EDT
37th over: India 177-5 (Axar 16, Sundar 3) Zampa picks up the dangerous Rahul and the loss of three middle-order wickets for 39 runs has India back on the ropes. Washington Sundar is immediately off the mark with a drive to long-off for two.

WICKET! Rahul b Zampa 11 (India 174-5)
KL Rahul sends Adam Zampa to the extra cover rope but just as Shreyas Iyer discovered, that tends to focus the Australian leg-spinner even more. A predictably shorter delivery lures Rahul into a whole-hearted pull shot but the ball skids on and into the stumps.

36th over: India 170-4 (Axar 16, Rahul 7) Hazlewood keeps turning the screw on India. Two runs from the over with a single to each batter. Perhaps they are waiting to see off the Australian quick who has one over up his sleeve.
35th over: India 168-4 (Axar 15, Rahul 6) Rahul is keen to get on with things as he dances down the pitch to take on Zampa. The India keeper picks up a couple at long-on the two more through square leg. The double breakthrough has slowed down the tourists though.
34th over: India 163-4 (Axar 14, Rahul 2) Hazlewood had India in all sorts earlier and almost picks up a wicket on his return with the ball. Rahul edges away from his body and the ball bounces barely wide of Matt Short diving to his right at slip. He gets fingers to the ball but it had already touched the turf by then.
33rd over: India 161-4 (Axar 13, Rahul 1) Australia keep getting a breakthrough at opportune times as Zampa outsmarts Shreyas. KL Rahul – as well as Axar Patel – has enough time to make an impact though, with 17 overs still remaining.
ShareWICKET! Shreyas b Zampa 61 (India 160-4)
Shreyas Iyer smacks Adam Zampa over cover for four but the Australia leg-spinner has the last laugh. He gives the ball plenty of air to lure Shreyas into a wild shot as he steps down the track but can only get an inside edge onto his stumps. Shreyas is gone for 61 from 77 deliveries with seven boundaries.

32nd over: India 156-3 (Shreyas 57, Axar 13) Mitchell Starc continues after the break but it’s the India batters that look the more refreshed. Axar guides an attempted yorker to the fine leg rope and betters that with a crunching drive to punish another fuller delivery.
31st over: India 143-3 (Shreyas 56, Axar 2) Short and Connolly continue their merry dance with the former replacing the latter. Shreyas punishes a short ball with a pull over midwicket to the rope. That’s drinks.
30th over: India 137-3 (Shreyas 51, Axar 1) Starc gets the breakthrough and India begin to rebuild again. Axar Patel shows his intent immediately with a drive for one, and Shreyas adds another at deep point.
ShareWICKET! Rohit c Hazlewood b Starc 73 (India 135-3)
Mitchell Starc takes over from the spinners and three balls later has the much-needed breakthrough. Rohit pulls a half-tracker off his hip but after controlling that shot in recent overs he picks out Josh Hazlewood at the fine leg boundary. Rohit has helped to rebuild the India innings but is on his way for 73 from 97 balls.

29th over: India 135-2 (Rohit 73, Shreyas 50) Shreyas Iyer reaches a half-century off 67 balls with a single to long-off. But it’s Rohit who looks like the bigger danger and he dispatches Connolly to the rope with a sky-high sweep to deep fine leg.
28th over: India 129-2 (Rohit 68, Shreyas 49) Matt Short swaps with Connolly again and very nearly gets the breakthrough for Australia! Shreyas pulls and is fortunate to survive as Adam Zampa leaps high but can’t bring down the ball at short fine leg.The ball trickles away to the boundary and Rohit adds another boundary with a lofted drive over cover.
27th over: India 117-2 (Rohit 63, Shreyas 43) A 100-run partnership has salvaged the India innings after two wickets in an over to Xavier Bartlett. Now it is Adam Zampa containing the batters who have taken the foot off the pedal since spin has come into the attack. Rohit swipes at a shorter ball but mis-times the stroke only picks up a single on the on side.
26th over: India 115-2 (Rohit 62, Shreyas 42) Mitch Marsh turns back to Cooper Connolly to keep the batters guessing. India pick up three easy singles with dabs and clips into space but Australia won’t mind giving up only three runs.
25th over: India 112-2 (Rohit 61, Shreyas 40) Zampa to Shreyas who certainly looks the part now in a bright blue floppy hat with earrings on show. Rohit continues with a helmet but is the one to pull out the real style as he casually clears the infield with a drive over cover. The ball takes one bounce and over the rope with little effort – delightful to watch.
Updated at 01.31 EDT
24th over: India 105-2 (Rohit 56, Shreyas 38) Matt Short comes on for Connolly to turn the ball into the right-handers. The India pair have little trouble picking up a single from each delivery to carry their side across the 100-run mark.
23rd over: India 99-2 (Rohit 53, Shreyas 35) Zampa works at a tight line but gives up five singles with the field spread.
22nd over: India 94-2 (Rohit 50, Shreyas 33) Spin from both ends as Cooper Connolly gets a chance with his left-arm orthodox. Shreyas can’t quite punish a shorter ball as his cut shot picks out a fielder on the rope, but that allows Rohit to take strike and reach a hard-earned half century. It comes off 74 balls with two sixes and four boundaries. Certainly not a trademark fifty, but as important as any he has made against Australia in a bilateral ODI series.
