49.2 Jason Behrendorff to MS Dhoni

Jason Behrendorff to MS Dhoni. Yorker, middle stump no foot movement pushing, to silly mid on for 1 run, shy attempt by Maxwell. The finisher MS Dhoni does the job for India once again. It wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for an incredible knock from Virat Kohli. This Indian team know how to chase a total. Australia didn't do too much wrong with their whole performance, India were just slightly better today. Shaun Marsh is unlucky to be on the losing side after his wonderful innings. The series is now level at 1-1, and the decider will be a cracker in Melbourne on Friday.
