Praveen Kumar to David Warner, OUT!! Length on middle, Warner tries to pull, gets a thick edge that takes the ball towards square leg, way up high, excellent catch from Gambhir, who was backpedalling very quickly,adjusts nicely and takes a clean catch, metres from the boundary. Danger man is gone early! David Warner c Gautam Gambhir b Praveen Kumar 8(8)

Virat Kohli to David Hussey, OUT!! Finch was looking good and that was unnecessary. Dabbed towards point for a quick single, Jadeja at point is lightning quick, picks and throws in one action, the throw is right over the stumps, and when Dhoni hits the stumps, Finch is more than a meter away from the crease. He walked even without waiting for the third umpire. Refreshing to see. Aaron Finch run out Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni 36(23)

Praveen Kumar to Shaun Marsh, OUT!! Horrible form for Marsh continues. Length ball on off, Marsh pushes tentatively at it, Sehwag at first slip gets a regulation catch, that pops out of his hand, he juggles with it and Dhoni is alert to catch it on the rebound. Good team work you would say! Shaun Marsh c MS Dhoni b Praveen Kumar 0(2)

Rahul Sharma to David Hussey, OUT!! In disarray, excellent fielding from Jadeja, even better than the previous occassion, dives to his left, gets up and knows that he has to throw at the non striker's end. Bailey had set off for the single and it wasn't there, Hussey sent him back, he was almost furious George Bailey run out Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul Sharma 3(4)

Vinay Kumar to Matthew Wade, OUT!! The fielding has been sensational today, getting at least 4 wickets through sheer alertness. Wade drives hard straight to extra cover and sets off, Rohit Sharma takes his time, waits and throws the stumps down. Brilliant fielding gets the danger man out.

Rahul Sharma to Mitchell Marsh, OUT!! Flighted delivery, drags the batsman out of the crease, leaves him in the last moment, Dhoni whips the bails and is confident, Marsh's foot was in the air. That has to be one of the fastest stumpings in cricket history, I believe and Manjrekar agrees too! Hardly any time between the ball being collected and the bails off, a stumping that Dhoni created.

Rahul Sharma to Xavier Doherty, OUT!! Story of the day so far, 4th run out which means India have got all 10 Australian wickets, hasn't happened many times this Aussie summer. Worked off the pads towards deep mid wicket, Raina comes in quickly, picks up and throws flat and straight over the stumps, Doherty was struggling for the 2nd run, all Dhoni has to do was collect the throw and break the bails and he does it.

Mitchell Marsh to Virat Kohli, OUT!! Edged and taken! Commentator's curse falls on Kohli! Akram was just saying that the pair should see the team through the target. Good length on offstump, bouncing extra from touch short of good length. Kohli tries to play it but ends up edging it straight to Wade who dives to his right to pluck a very good catch.
