Sean Abbott to Suryakumar Yadav Good last three deliveries from Abbott and India finish one short of 400!

What a remarkable batting display from the Men in Blue! They have registered their highest total in ODIs against Australia as they finished on 399/5. From start to finish they have dominated proceedings here and with contributions all around they will be the much happier side going into the break. The hosts will be slightly disappointed to not breach that 400-run mark.

India lost Ruturaj Gaikwad quite early but that did not affect them one bit. Shubman Gill continued his rich vein of form and this time got support from Shreyas Iyer who looked to be aggressive right from the start. Both of them took on the Aussie bowlers and punished them all over the park. They added exactly 200 runs for the second wicket and registered magnificent hundreds as well. Iyer needed this innings more than anyone and makes the job of the selectors even more difficult now for the

Australia on the other hand had a forgettable outing with the ball. Josh Hazlewood managed to get an early breakthrough but other than that nothing went their way.

Spencer Johnson wasn't able to make much impact on debut and Cameron Green will not be proud of his performance as even though he got a couple of wickets he now holds the record of conc

Shreyas Iyer one of the centurions for India is up for a quick chat.

Right then India have posted a mammoth total on the board and will be quite confident of defending it to seal the series. Australia will need something really special from their batters to gun this down to level the series but we can never underestimate them and we also know that anything can happen in cricket. So join us in a bit to see how the chase pans out!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

We are back for Australia's reply.
