Christian to Kohli, FOUR, India beat Australia for the 7th successive time in T20Is. Kohli puts the marker with a lofty-drive over mid-off. Warner didn't even wait for the ball to go to the fence, as soon as he saw Kohli execute the shot, he started walking towards the Indian skipper to shake hands

Christian to Kohli, 2 runs, short and swerving in, Kohli doesn't move an inch. Just jabs at it using his wrist power to great effect, NCN throws himself at deep backward square and denies India and Kohli a boundary. Brilliant display of athleticism
05:09 PM
Christian to Dhawan, 1 run, provides width, Dhawan frees his arms and slaps to deep cover

Zampa to Dhawan, 1 run, an ungainly looking loft from Dhawan. Was undone by the length - short - there. Had to manufacture a much effective bat swing and thus, mistimes in the air over a helpless mid-on. Warner dived, but it wasn't even close
05:06 PM
Zampa to Dhawan, no run, a little shimmy, gets too close to the pitch of the ball and biffs it off the toe-end to short cover
05:06 PM
Zampa to Dhawan, no run, quicker and skids away off the pitch, Dhawan backs away a touch and misses on the cut. Was very close to taking the edge
05:05 PM
Zampa to Kohli, 1 run, short, Kohli tries the pull, but since the ball kept low, it clicked the inside edge and rolled to short fine
