Marcus Stoinis first looked to play a big shot against Axar Patel and ended up holing the ball in the deep and then Alex Carey was clean bowled by an absolute peach of a delivery by Kuldeep Yadav. IND vs AUS LIVE: Back live for the start of the Indian chase. India are once again in control of the proceedings as the two set batsmen Marcus Stoinis and Alex Carey have been dismissed in short span. Fast back of the length delivery wide of off stump. Abbott fails to connect and the ball crashes onto the stumps. Mitchell Starc goes deep in the crease and pulls the ball to deep square-leg where Ravindra Jadeja takes a good catch

Australia beat India by 21 runs to win the three-match ODI series 2-1 and give India its first home-series defeat in four years.

Aussie skipper Smith was caught behind for a duck in Pandya’s next over and Mitchell was clean bowled for a run-a-ball 47, again off the same bowler. With no boundaries coming between overs 14.2 and 20.2, Marnus Labuschagne and Warner, batting at 4 for the first time in ODIs, fell victim to the sudden rush of blood against Kuldeep, who saved his best for Alex Carey. Both openers dismissed the full balls from Siraj and Shami and, save a few plays and misses, were equally aggressive when it was dropped short; using the best batting conditions on a wicket that was getting slower and more difficult for stroke-making as the match progressed. Thirty-six years later, Geoff’s younger son, Mitchell, looked set to follow in his father’s footsteps when he racked up 23 from 15 with four fours and a six. The new ball pair of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj bore the brunt, especially Siraj. Jadeja’s dismissal off Zampa was the final nail in the coffin. Maybe, the dismissal was still playing on his mind when, after reaching his 50 off 61 balls with a single, Kohli looked more disgruntled at being turned down by Hardik Pandya for the second run than relieved at his 65th ODI fifty. The move paid off when Zampa, in his third over, trapped Gill lbw with a full ball. When Starc erred too full in search of swing, Shubman Gill flicked him over midwicket, and Rohit Sharma lofted him over mid-off to knock off a dozen from the target. But when Rahul looked like he was determined to accelerate, he mishit a Zampa googly and holed out. For the host, it was the final ODI until the tour of the West Indies in August. Virat Kohli walked in at 3 while Smith summoned Adam Zampa (4 for 45) in the eighth over, hoping to lure the Indians into making a mistake.
