Over 49.2 | Score 310/5 | (Marsh 12*, Faulkner 1*)
2 needed off six. Bhuvi to bowl the final over, Smith to face at 149. Guess what? Bhuvneshwar started with a length ball, and Smith hit it straight to Kohli at covers. The crowd is disappointed, so is Smith who walks back to the dressimg room to a rousing reception from the crowd. Faulkner is the new man in. The second ball was a wide down the leg side. Faulkner hit the second ball of the over towards long-on for a single which will be winning runs!

Over 49 | Score 308/4 | (Smith 149*, Marsh 12*)
6 needed from 12, Yadav to end up his quota. Marsh took a single off the first ball. Second ball hit Smith on the pads, there was a half-hearted appeal made which didn't get the attention of the umpire. Marsh took a single off the third ball to bring Smith back on strike. Smith worked the fourth ball straight to point for no run. Smith worked the fifth ball towards deep midwicket for a single, moves to 149. 2 needed from 7 now. Will Marsh give his skipper a chance to score 150? Yes he will. He defends the last ball for no run.

Sran to continue. His fifth ball would have been a good yorker to most of the batsmen but Smith made room and worked it fine past backward point for another boundary. There's some chatting going on between Smith Sran every now and then.

Over 44 | Score 274/4 | (Smith 128*, Marsh 0*)
Ashwin to continue and guess who will face him – Glenn Maxwell! Maxwell made room for himself off the third ball and cleared covers for a boundary. That wasn't enough for Maxwell, he tried clearing midwicket off the next ball but holed it towards cow corner where Dhawan took a well-judged catch. Some respite for India and Ashwin has won the battle against Maxwell, yet again. Mitchell Marsh is the new man in and we know he can tonk the ball to some distance.

Ashwin to bowl his fifth over. Bailey shimmied down the track off the first ball and hammered it over long-off for a maximum! Smith was offered width off the fifth ball and he cut it for another boundary. 13 runs had come off the first five balls but that did not prevent Smith from charging down the track off the last ball to hit another six straight down the ground. Massive over for the hosts and Dhoni would be feeling the pressure now. 19 runs from the over.

Sran to continue. Warner tried to clear the mid-off fielder, didn't time it well as the ball went straight to Kohli. Sran has two on debut! Dream debut for the youngster. George Bailey joins Smith at the crease. He nicked the first ball he faced from Bran to Dhoni, there wasn't a huge appeal, the replays showed he did. Hosts are in a spot of bother here.
