New Delhi: Australian skipper Steve Smith's 149 overshadowed a brilliant century by Rohit Sharma, as the hosts defeated India by 5 wickets in the first ODI at the WACA ground in Perth.
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!

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.

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.
