Varun Chakaravarthy to Maxwell, out Bowled!! Just about clips the top of off stump and Maxwell is gone! Another brilliant over for India who are taking control of this game now. Googly that lands on a good length outside off, Maxwell makes room to slap it through the off-side but misses completely. It shaves the top of off stump before nestling in the keeper's gloves. Maxwell b Varun Chakaravarthy 2(4)

Varun Chakaravarthy to Philippe, leg byes, 1 run, tries a paddle-sweep but misses. Big appeal for LBW. Not out says the umpire and India don't go for the review after having a long chat about it. Impact was clearly outside off, good decision not to go for it

Varun Chakaravarthy to Mitchell Marsh, 2 runs, dropped! Full marks for effort but India needed Abhishek to hang on. Flighted delivery and Marsh's eyes lit up, mistimes the loft towards long-off and Abhishek charges in, dives forward and hangs on with both hands but the ball pops out as he hits the ground. Tough one but you need to take such catches when defending a small total
