Both teams are warming up. Brilliant bowling from Bumrah, castles Nathan Coulter-Nile for one.
Kohli and Dhawan out in the middle. They need 12 off 12. Buttler once again tries to clear mid off but this time too he caballeros to get the desired elevation. Width on offer from Bumrah and Finch smacks it through cover for his first boundary of the night. They are about to take the covers off. Australia need five off 30 balls. India will have a complete middle order. After getting them down to 118, we sol it would only be 40 or something.
If I am leaving, I will leave completely. Not much going Australia's way at the moment.
ABOUT COOKIES - Australia were much better on the day. Next inspection at 7 PM IST.
L Plunkett to S Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan is run out in a very unfortunate manner. Liam bowls a short ball in line of the stumps, Dhawan looks to pull but gets hit on his elbow. The ball rolls to point and Rahul calls his partner through for a quick single. Dhawan who is in pain responds and rushes towards the non-striker's end where Roy releases the throw. The English skipper collects the ball and tries to whip the bails but he fails to do so in the first go. Still, he somehow manages to remove the bails with his right hand while the ball is in his left. Morgan's first reaction is that he has missed an opportunity as he looks to the heavens but then turns to appeal. The umpire goes upstairs. And the replays show that Dhawan lost his bat before dragging it in and his foot was still outside the line. And it seems that since Eoin was in touch with the ball while taking the bails off with his right hand, the third umpire has given him that benefit of doubt. End of Dhawan's innings, his sorry record against England in this format continues... Extras lb 2, w 2, nb 1, b 4 9 Fall of wickets : 1-7 Rohit Sharma , 1. Got him in the first T20I and now gets him in the second. Umesh Yadav has the last laugh and he draws first blood. Brilliant by him, he bowls a pacey delivery which pitches on off and then jags back in sharply. Roy does not account for the inward movement as he tries to keep it out with a gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaks through and hits the middle stump. The Indians are ecstatic as they have got the dangerous Roy early. U Yadav to Jos Buttler, OUT! Virat Kohli takes it this time and let me tell you this is a tougher chance than the one he dropped. How delighted he is! Well his celebration shows it all. The big fish, Buttler departs cheaply, a rare failure for him. Yadav is the man once again, we saw how good he was in the Indian T20 League in the Powerplays and he is continuing the good work here. This is slightly shorter than the last two deliveries. Buttler once again tries to clear mid off but this time too he fails to get the desired elevation. Kohli there runs to his right and takes it. Both the openers are back in the hut and India are right back into the game. Y Chahal to Joe Root, OUT! Chahal strikes in his first over. He removes the batsman who could have possibly been the one who could have anchored the run chase for England. The googly does the trick. It is tossed up outside off, Root may have picked it as he goes for the sweep shot with the turn but misses it somehow. The ball turns back in and hits the off stump. England three down and are now in trouble. They need another 105 in 79. H Pandya to E Morgan, OUT! What a catch, what a catch by him. He has plucked that out of thin air. The change of bowling has worked wonders for India. It is the short ball on the body of Morgan. He goes for the pull and he seems to have connected well. It looks like it will sail over the fielder at fine leg who is standing a touch inside. But no, he times his jump to perfection and takes a tumbling catch. Stands up and performs his trademark celebration. Morgan walks back in disbelief and the 48-run stand has been broken. India will now look to capitalize.
