India vs Australia 2nd ODI highlights: Aus win by 51 runs; seal ODI series with one match to go

It was I guess (perfect perfomance with the bat). Anytime you get in the high 300s is good. Very pleased to wrap it up in two wins. No idea (on Warner's fitness). We've got to reshuffle it around, I don't think he'll be available. Bit quicker would have been nice (on his own batting) but laid the foundation for the guys at the back end to come and play free cricket. The way Davey played up front was unbelievable. Then Smithy played out of his skin for two matches in a row. Henriques bowled to a simple plan and changed his pace a lot. As Virat said, we probably got a blueprint with Hardik's bowling, he was really hard to hit with pace off deliveries.

. Completely outplayed. I think with the ball we were not that effective. Didn't hit the areas we wanted to consistently. They've got a strong batting lineup and know the angles. Their total was a bit too steep, if you see we got 340 and still lost by 51 runs. With the areas they bowled, they were in a position to create chances and with those chances taken, they were on top. (on Hardik bowling) I think he gave away a bit of a bowling plan on this pitch, a lot of them bowled cutters (smiles). His bowling was out of nowhere I just asked him. KL and I thought even 100 in the last ten overs with Hardik to come was achievable. If KL and me had stuck around till the 40th over, we could have put them under pressure. The wicket was beautiful to bat on.

. Smith: Another great foundation set by Finchy and Davey. Let me go hard at the back end. The last two games, the boys have got us off to terrific starts. We know India have a good batting line-up so we needed big totals. I tried to whack the ball too hard in the IPL but I've started hitting it with more finesse I should say, which is working for me. Nice to score some runs again for the team and get us to a good total. I thought the boys were outstanding in the field as well.

. Now, with two comprehensive wins on the trot, Australia look very strong with great batting and some quality bowling, while India's bowling looked in tatters with injured key bowlers. David Warner, Aaron Finch and Steve Smith being top performers for the Aussie side. Whilst India were able to make a fairly high 338, some of the batsman looked in top form though some risky shots meant they couldn't stay around for long.

. Maxwell bowls the last over

49.1 A single.

49.2 A WELL AND CLEALY HIT FOUR.

49.3 Another powerful strike and just a single.

49.4 One run.

. Zampa with the ball

48.1 Dot ball.

48.2 A single

48.5 Another dot ball.

48.6 One run.

. Maxwell in the ball

47.1 One run.

47.5 Hit straight and one run.

47.6 Dot ball to end the over.

. Cummins with the ball now

46.1 FIRST BALL AND JADEJA IS OUT! Glen Maxwell takes an easy catch. Jadeja was enticed with a delivery straight in his arc and that shot didn't have enough power. A quickfire cameo from R Jadeja that was.

46.2 Cummins is on a hat trick! ANOTHER WICKET AND PANDYA IS OUT! CATCHING PRACTICE FOR SMITHY THIS TIME AROUND. Slower delivery and not enough power to fly over Steve Smith.

India clearly have no chance with the required run rate well beyond 18 runs per over. Shami and Saini are new ones in the middle

46.3 A single.

46.4 Dot ball.

46.5 Wide bouncer that.

46.5 A quick single.

45.1 FREE HIT SMACKED RIGHT OUT OF THE PARK! Starc misses a yorker and that a full toss. Gifted that one to Jadeja.

45.2 Two runs after a slog shot.

45.3 WOWZA! JADEJA HAS SOME IMPERIOUS POWER IN HIM! THAT WENT RIGHT OVER SQUARE LEG! Starc looks a tad bit confused. That was comfortably smashed with loads of power!

45.5 A single.

45.6 Two runs to finish the over.

44.3 Low full toss and just one run.

44.4 Another single. Well contolled slower one from Cummins.

44.5 Well, that's yet another single and that brings up 300 for India, maybe a little later than they wanted.

44.6 Punched to point and two runs.

. Zampa with the ball in the death overs

43.1 Punched to long off and one run. Flat and wide of off delivery.

43.3 ANOTHER ONE IN THE AIR AND AARON FINCH MISSES IT RUNNING BACKWARDS. Two runs.

43.5 Jadeja sweeps and one run.

43.6 Two runs

. Cummins is handed the ball

42.1 Yorker length delivey and one run.

42.3 NOW THAT IS CALLED A FLICK! Quite a wrist shot from Pandya brings up the 50 parternship.

42.4 A single now.

42.5 Slower one, that ball was in the air for long and Finch couldn't get to it on time.

42.6 Another single.

41.1 One run.

41.2 Two runs after a nice wristy shot.

41.3 Another single.

41.6 Lifted again but no runs.

. Cummins continues

40.1 Wider delivery, nearly slipped at the crease and Padya punches it. No run.

40.2 Another dot ball.

40.3 WIDE Full toss and umpire takes no time to signal wide.

40.3 Slower delivery and it beats Pandya.

34.5 PULL SHOT! AND HAZLEWOOD TAKES KOHLI'S WICKET! King Kohli gone for 89. HENRIQUES FLEW FOR A MOMENT TO TAKE THAT ONE. Really, not an easy catch that. Aus are fielding better than their previous appearance. A big breakthrough for the Aussies who were not looking too great.

. Starc to Agarwal

0.1 A clean, easy push down the leg side and that a FOUR! A VERY FAMILIAR START FOR INDIA!

. 49.1 Saini to Maxwell, is this out? Fuller delivery on the middle stump, Maxwell looked to play the reverse scoop once again. Not out, says the third umpire.

Last ball of the Australian innings.

49.6 Fuller delivery, Maxwell looked to play another big shot but gets an inside edge to pick up a single. Australia finishes at an imposing total of 389/4.

. 48.1 Bumrah to Marnus, two runs. Can India keep the Aussies under 380?

48.2 FOUR! Yorker from Bumrah, bang on middle stump and Marnus plays an audacious scoop shot.

48.3 One run

48.4 Full toss on the pads and Maxwell flicks this to the backward square leg. Bumrah must get his yorkers rigth.

47.2 Fuller delivery and Maxwell plays a backfoot drive for a couple of runs.

47.3 Slower ball outside off stump and Maxwell pulls to the midwicket for a single.

47.4 Full toss, Marnus gets an inside edge and picks up a single.

47.5 FOUR! Reverse sweep to a fast bowler! But this was a slower one from Shami, and Maxwell executes one of his favourite shots.

47.6 FOUR! This time full on the leg stump and Maxwell plays the reverse scoop for another boundary.

. 46.1 Bumrah to Maxwell, SIX! Maxwell is looking dangerous. Slower delivery outside off stump and Maxwell reaches out to lift this with power and precision.

46.2 Short ball and Maxwell pulls for a single. Australia piling up a mammoth score here, will be hard for India to chase this down. Time for Kohli masterclass?

46.3 Marnus looks to scoop but in the end only manages to get a single.

46.4 Fuller delivery and Maxwell digs this out for a single.

45.6 Full toss and Maxwell swings to the square leg for a single.

. 44.1 Bumrah to Marnus, short outside off and Marnus pulls to the long on.

44.4 Maxwell takes another couple of runs.

. With Australia's top three -- captain Aaron Finch, David Warner, and Steve Smith -- hitting the straps right away, Jasprit Bumrah and company will have no option but to pick up the pieces and give a better account of themselves on a strip that promises to be a belter.

. Hardik Pandya's 76-ball-90 was at best a good innings but just like the Champions Trophy final in 2017, the sparkling knock was never going to help India win the contest. Adding insult to injury that was Pandya's frank admission that he is not bowling anytime soon and even if he rolls his arm over, it is likely to be in 20-over World Cup.

. India's battered bowling unit will have little time to regroup and limited resources at its disposal in a desperate bid to perform a redemption act and save the ODI series against a turbo-charged Australia in the second game here on Sunday.
