Smith walks off waving his bat to all corners of the ground. This has been a special innings, will be even more special at the end of the match if his side emerge victorious. S Smith c Rohit b U Yadav 105(93) [4s-11 6s-2] |

| 33.1 | Mohit Sharma to Finch, SIX, that is an amazing shot. It was short and bouncing, Finch had made room and was on the hop, but he reached out and slapped a cut over sweeper cover.

| Mohit Sharma [6.0-0-31-0] is back into the attack | ||||||||||||||||

| 31.4 | Ashwin to Finch, 2 runs, that's sloppy from Rohit. Finch was a disappointed man as he went hard on the cut, didn't get it in the gap, it went straight to the fielder and Rohit fumbled, gives away two. That won't please MS and Ashwin | |||||||||||||||

| 30.4 | Mohit Sharma to Finch, no run, loud shout for lbw, Kettleborough has a look at it and then says no. The Indians don't have a review. The ball nips back in and strikes Finch above the knee roll. Finch was on the shuffle and missed the clip. Impact - umpire's call and just about clipping. So the original decision would've stood even if India had a review. Mohit was absolutely convinced and wore a puzzled look on his face when the decision went against him | |||||||||||||||
| Now Mahendra Singh Dhoni goes back to Finch | ||||||||||||||||
| 30.3 | Mohit Sharma to S Smith, 1 run, the slower delivery outside off, comes on ever so slowly, punched to sweeper cover | |||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||
| 9.6 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, short of length and nipping back in, defended to short mid-wicket | |||||||||||||||
| 9.5 | U Yadav to S Smith, FOUR, a carbon copy of the previous shot. Similar delivery, around the same height, similar shot and similar result. Yadav needs to dig it in much shorter and get it rise near the chest/face area of Smith. Or else Smith will cash in all day. That's 16 off the over - all in boundaries | |||||||||||||||
| 9.4 | U Yadav to S Smith, FOUR, the new one works well alright. Cracking pull from Smith. It was short and on the stumps, Smith swivel-pulled to the right of square leg. The ball didn't rise and that made Smith's job easier. Third boundary of the over | |||||||||||||||
| Looks like Smith needs a change of bat. Slight delay. The substitute runs out with a few bats and Smith chooses one. How will the new one go? | ||||||||||||||||
| 9.3 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, pitched up outside off, Smith shows the full face of the bat and drives well, but Yadav sticks his left-hand out and stops it | |||||||||||||||
| 9.2 | U Yadav to S Smith, FOUR, that is well played. Short outside off, Smith controlled the pull and got it wide of mid-on, no chance for the chasing fielder as the ball races away. Smith swivelled on the shot and got into position very quickly to play that | |||||||||||||||
| 9.1 | U Yadav to S Smith, FOUR, was in the air, but wide of the man at point. Jadeja running from point could've done some serious damage to himself as he dived head-first into the ad-boards. Ashwin from third man didn't get there and wore a shocked expression on seeing Jadeja go in so hard at full pelt. Luckily no damage done to Jadeja as he gets up quickly. Smith cutting hard in the air and getting lucky | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 8.6 | Shami to Finch, no run, back of a length and Shami forces Finch to defend, the batsman doing just that to mid-on | |||||||||||||||

| 8.1 | Shami to Finch, 1 run, Finch wanted to pull out of the shot, but the ball rose high and he controlled the shot to deep backward square leg, played it down and gets a single | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 7.6 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, on a good length and outside off, Smith strides forward and defends confidently to point | |||||||||||||||
| 7.5 | U Yadav to Finch, 1 run, that hurried on to Finch, the batsman swivelled on the pull and had to adjust, plays it awkwardly with a grunt from him as he played the shot, a single to fine leg | |||||||||||||||
| 7.4 | U Yadav to S Smith, 1 run, too straight from Yadav, Smith gets inside the line and clips it to fine leg | |||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||
| 6.6 | Shami to Finch, no run, Shami readjusts after that error last ball, on the stumps, pushed to mid-on with a full face of the bat | |||||||||||||||
| 6.6 | Shami to Finch, wide, Shami loses his radar, slips it down leg | |||||||||||||||
| 6.5 | Shami to Finch, no run, pitched further up and on the stumps, Finch shows the full face of the bat and defends to mid-on | |||||||||||||||
| 6.4 | Shami to S Smith, 1 run, short and on the stumps, hurries onto Smith who completely mistimes it to deep backward square leg, gets it wide of the leg slip though | |||||||||||||||

| 6.1 | Shami to S Smith, no run, pitched up outside off, Smith drives and the bat face closes, Shami stops it with his left-hand | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 5.6 | U Yadav to Finch, no run, Finch has hit that on the bounce to mid-on. Went for a pull, a forehand to mid-on. Took it from outside off and wanted to go wide of the fielder, instead failed to hit the gap | |||||||||||||||
| 5.5 | U Yadav to Finch, no run, brilliant delivery. Outswinging yorker from Yadav, but the line wasn't on the stumps. It was just outside off and Finch couldn't squeeze it out. Late shape away on the ball | |||||||||||||||
| 5.4 | U Yadav to Finch, no run, short of length on off, Finch hops a little and defends back down the wicket | |||||||||||||||
| 5.3 | U Yadav to S Smith, 1 run, on a good length and on off, Smith looks to defend and plays with soft hands down to third man | |||||||||||||||
| 5.2 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, on a good length and outside off, swinging away, left alone | |||||||||||||||
| 5.1 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, India ponder a review. Against Smith. For lbw. Dhoni has a word with Yadav and they go back to their positions. It nipped back in and Smith on the shuffle missed the flick, it clipped the thigh pad and replays show that it just was clipping - umpire's call it was and the original decision would've stood. Smith in trouble there, but got away | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 4.6 | Shami to S Smith, 3 runs, Shami went for the yorker, but it turned out to be a low full toss, on middle, clipped through mid-wicket. Rohit gives chase and pulls it back. Saved a run there | |||||||||||||||
| Leg slip for Smith again | ||||||||||||||||
| 4.5 | Shami to Finch, 1 run, full and outside off, Finch gets forward and opens the face of the bat to drive, gets it wide of point for a single | |||||||||||||||

| 4.2 | Shami to Finch, 2 runs, swing for Shami, Finch fell over a touch, but got his bat on the flick, played it around his front pad and managed a couple to fine leg, Umesh did well to run around and keep it to two | |||||||||||||||
| 4.1 | Shami to Finch, FOUR, very full from Shami and Finch just relied on timing that time. Got forward and showed the full face of the bat, gets it past the stumps at the other end and the ball races away | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 3.6 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, short of length and outside off, seaming away, left alone. Nice carry through to Mahendra Singh Dhoni | |||||||||||||||
| A leg gully in place now as Dhoni goes for the leg-side trap | ||||||||||||||||
| 3.5 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, Yadav pulls the length back and bowls it on a back of a length on the hips, tucked to short mid-wicket | |||||||||||||||
| 3.4 | U Yadav to S Smith, FOUR, that's a magnificent shot. The feet didn't move that well, but look at the timing on that. The full face of the bat shown and he has timed the drive past a very short mid-off, beating the fielder to his right. Fantastic off-drive from Smith | |||||||||||||||
| Would be a good idea to bowl full and try to york Smith early for he shuffles a lot and exposes his middle and leg stump. Wouldn't be a bad idea to fire in the yorker | ||||||||||||||||
| 3.3 | U Yadav to S Smith, no run, back of a length on the hips, turned to square leg | |||||||||||||||
| Two slips and a gully for Smith | ||||||||||||||||
| 3.2 | U Yadav to S Smith, 2 runs, pitched up outside off, swing away for Yadav, Smith opens the face of the bat and pushes it wide of point, knows Ashwin is there at third man, takes him on and makes it back easily | |||||||||||||||
| Steven Smith, right handed bat, comes to the crease | ||||||||||||||||
| 3.1 | U Yadav to Warner, out Caught by Kohli!! Big, big moment. Warner is gone. Warner too early into the flick and the leading edge goes straight up in the air. A dolly to mid-off and Yadav roars away in delight. Not as ferociously as Steyn against Sri Lanka, but a good attempt nevertheless. India's army at the SCG go wild too. Warner c Kohli b U Yadav 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1] | |||||||||||||||
| U Yadav to Warner, THATS OUT!! Caught!! | ||||||||||||||||
| Shami certainly tested Finch in that over but didn't have the desired result that he was seeking to go for him | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 2.6 | Shami to Finch, no run, back of a length outside off, Finch shoulders arms | |||||||||||||||
| 2.5 | Shami to Finch, no run, Finch is all at sea against Shami so far. Full and outside off, Finch went for a big cover drive and the inside edge went to square leg. Gave it all, but completely lost all shape on the shot | |||||||||||||||
| 2.4 | Shami to Finch, no run, another one that nips back in, but the line is middle and leg, going down, Finch can't lay bat on the flick, looks for a leg bye but it isn't there | |||||||||||||||
| 2.3 | Shami to Finch, no run, short of length and outside off, Finch defends to square leg | |||||||||||||||
| 2.2 | Shami to Finch, no run, Shami belts out a loud lbw appeal against Finch, but that was a bit too high. Finch caught on the shuffle, this one nips back in and catches him on the pad, above the kneeroll. Kettleborough is the best umpire in the world and has a look, before saying no. India don't review and rightly so, that would've gone over | |||||||||||||||
| 2.1 | Shami to Finch, no run, very ambitious and extravagant from Finch. Went for a big lofted drive over mid-off, but the ball was pitched on a good length and had an upright seam, it nipped off the seam and went past the inside edge, not close to hitting off though | |||||||||||||||
| 2.1 | Shami to Finch, wide, swing for Shami, but down leg, it swings further and Dhoni collects. Called wide | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 1.6 | U Yadav to Warner, SIX, Warner wants to make a statement early on and he does so here. It was slightly short and outside off, Warner lifted one leg up in the air and pulled it hard over deep square leg, just about carried over the ad-cushions. The extra pace of Yadav proving to be productive for Warner | |||||||||||||||
| 1.5 | U Yadav to Finch, 1 run, 147.6 kph and would've been a dolly to gully which is vacant. Yadav squaring up Finch with a delivery that straightened a tad and caught the outside edge, it flew through the vacant space and down to third man. Just the two slips and no-one at gully | |||||||||||||||
| 1.4 | U Yadav to Finch, no run, back of a length outside off, Finch hops and defends | |||||||||||||||
| Two slips for Yadav too | ||||||||||||||||
| 1.3 | U Yadav to Warner, 1 run, on a good length and outside off, Warner gets forward and pushes it wide of cover, easy single | |||||||||||||||
| 1.2 | U Yadav to Warner, no run, short of length on off, Warner shuffles across a tad and defends to the right of the bowler | |||||||||||||||
| 1.1 | U Yadav to Warner, FOUR, lovely shot. Just a forward punch from Warner and it beat mid-off to his left. Got forward and offered the full face of the bat, the rich timing did the rest. Yadav a tad guilty of overpitching and being made to pay for it | |||||||||||||||
| Umesh Yadav, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
| 0.6 | Shami to Finch, no run, short of length and a hint of nip back in, Finch blocks from the crease to short mid-wicket | |||||||||||||||
| 0.5 | Shami to Warner, 1 run, pitched up outside off, Warner gets forward and pushes it wide of mid-off, quick single to get off the mark | |||||||||||||||
| 0.4 | Shami to Warner, no run, Shami beats Warner. Lovely outswinger, but angled across on a fuller length, Warner went for an ambitious on-the-up drive and was beaten. Just about carried to Dhoni. Nice start from Shami | |||||||||||||||
| 0.3 | Shami to Finch, leg byes, 1 run, loud appeal for lbw, but that was sliding down leg, full and on the pads, Finch shuffled across to flick and missed. But the ball would've gone down. They take a leg bye and the umpire doesn't signal runs | |||||||||||||||
| 0.2 | Shami to Finch, no run, short of length outside off, punched softly to cover | |||||||||||||||
| Two slips in place | ||||||||||||||||
| 0.1 | Shami to Finch, no run, straightaway Shami beats Finch. A gentle outswinger from Shami, Finch is tentative first up and his nervous push meets thin air. Expectedly, the feet don't move and he gets away. Shami has a wry smile on his face | |||||||||||||||
| Finch and Warner are at the crease. Finch is on strike. Shami will open the attack | ||||||||||||||||
