Full commentary
10.10pm This has been some match. This has been some turnaround from Australia. Australia go 4-0 up and extend their home streak to 18 ODIs. But that will not be the story of the day. India were cruising the chase with such ease that it looked like Australia had almost given up before Dhawan had cut a ball to Bailey at point. Ever since, it was all Australia. India failed to win an over as they stumbled and staggered to an unbelievable 25-run loss. A lot of credit has to be given to Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli though, who made run-making look ridiculously simple. Splendid centuries but a real shame they could not carry on to take India home.
MS Dhoni: "Im not angry, I'm disappointed. This was one game we should have batted much better. I'll take responsibility, I should have carried on but I got out.. There was a bit of pressure on the youngsters. International cricket is all about pressure, you think about the right shot. You realise you have to take a bit more time and take the game slightly to the end. Rohit batted very well with Shikhar. And Dhawan and Kohli batted majestically. In the last five years, we have not had a fixed bowling line up other than the spinners. That pushes us to the extreme to get some extra runs.
Kane Richardson is the Man of the Match: "It's a funny old game, cricket. We always knew it would speed up once we got a wicket but we did not get it. Hastings could be up here as well. You try and bowl good balls but sometimes they go for sixes. Its our job to try and stop em.
Steven Smith: "It looked like they were cruising, a coupe, of wickets swing things. Richardson did very well as well. You have to try everything when Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan were batting, it felt like we needed 15 or 16 fielders. We had a never say die attitude tonight. When we had a sniff, we made a run for it.

Marsh to Umesh Yadav, OUT
this time, Bailey intervenes and takes it. Fuller length on off, Yadav is not changing his technique, another wild slog. the ball goes up again, but nowhere near enough distance. Bailey, from point, has a look at Smith and then settles under it to pouch it.

Richardson drops a sitter. Should have been taken that. Full delivery and Yadav goes for another of his slogs. This one goes straight up. Richardson runs in from long-off and spills a relatively easy chance.
Rama: "the fall of dominoes! what a meltdown.. from majestic batting to downright medocrity.."

Mitchell Marsh pulls up just before delivery stride and clutches his hamstring immediately. Is he cramping? He is in terrible pain at the moment. Seems to be a bit of cramp, because he is hanging around. Plenty of fluids being consumed. He is going to continue.

this is not clever slogging from Yadav. Doesn't keep his shape, or his eyes on the ball. Just goes after an almighty swing. Missed
