45.6

Hazlewood to Sharma, 1 run, short of a length outside off, cut down to third man for a single

Aaron: "Took me ages to find it, but Jayasuria and Atapattu put on 237 for the first wicket in 33.4 overs at the SCG on In 2003. Aravinda got out in the 38th over for the second wicket! I almost disapproved your theory about the 1 wicket in 40 overs!!"

Hazlewood to Dhoni, 1 run, driven through the covers from the crease

Vamsi: "I wonder what sort of help Smith is getting from Bailey and likes, though he reads the game well, he needs someone to fall back on for advice in situations like this. There isn't a lot of experience in the side other than Warner and Bailey."

44.5

Faulkner to Dhoni, FOUR, short ball outside leg stump from over the wicket, Dhoni swivels on the back foot and pulls his second ball to the fine leg boudnary

Amogh: "For those saying 350 should have been a par total: the revised fielding restrictions are showing their impact. It is not easy anymore to just pick your spot and loft. With 5 fielders on the boundary the equation changes dramatically. The ICC did it for a good reason and I think it is working. "

44.4

Faulkner to Dhoni, no run, short of a length outside off from around the wicket, Dhoni stays in his crease and chops it into the off side

Dhoni promotes himself to No. 4.

44.3

Faulkner to Kohli, OUT, Kohli's hit that hard off the front foot, he's hit that flat, and the ball is headed over the long-on boundary but Finch runs to his left and takes the catch at head height. Kohli falls close to his hundred after an outstanding partnership. He's set India up for a huge total, but can the remaining batsmen hit from the get-go? Kohli timed that really well, just did not hit it high enough

V Kohli c Finch b Faulkner 91 (97b 9x4 1x6) SR: 93.81
44.2

Faulkner to Sharma, 1 run, Rohit charges and aims a loft down the ground, he's not timed this well at all and the ball falls safely just beyond the circle at mid-off
44.1

Faulkner to Sharma, no run, a fuller length outside off, Rohit reaches for it and is beaten, Faulkner bowled that from around the wicket

geoff: "I don't think India have enough runs for only being one wicket down. If it's a road then 350 is a good total. They might still get there but for now 300 is probably below par. If one of the aussie top order reaches a century I doubt it would be off more than 100 balls"

Amol: "They need to accelerate. Aus has a very strong batting line up to chase down anything around 300."

Kamath Vinod: "Emphatic start to a promising series..Reminds me of the positivity that Saurav's splendid 144 in Brisbane 2003 brought into Indian minds ..The ony Ind Vs Aus series down under, which we almost won !!! "

End of over 44 (5 runs) India 242/1 (RR: 5.50)

        V Kohli 91 (96b 9x4 1x6)
