2nd ODI: Kohli out for 116; India 8 down

Cummins picks the big wicket of Kohli, who looks to flick it uppishly on the leg side but ends up getting caught at deep square leg.

Kohli walks back after a superb innings of 116 from 120 balls, having hit 10 fours.

His wicket is a huge blow for India, who were looking at their captain to bat till the end and hit some boundaries in the last couple of overs.

The impressive Cummins claims another wicket in the over. Kuldeep shuffles across a long way but misses a full delivery and is bowled for 3.

Coulter-Nile finishes off India’s innings in the next over as Jasprit Bumrah is bowled off an inside edge as the hosts are bowled out for 250, in 48.2 overs.

16:45  Jadeja out for 21; India 7 down:  

Zampa comes back into the attack. He is unlucky not to pick up a wicket as Stoinis at deep midwicket puts down a simple catch after Jadeja, on 15, had pulled a short ball but failed to put it in the gap.

With five overs remaining, India will look to hit a few boundaries and look for a 275-plus total.

But Jadeja fails to make most of the lifeline. He falls in the next over, caught at mid-off for 21, trying to hit pacer Cummins down the ground. The change of pace deceived Jadeja completely and he ended up miscuing his intended lofted shot.

With just three wickets left, Kohli will need to take majority of the strike and score as much as possible.

Zampa continues as Kohli flicks it in the gap through midwicket for a four using the bottom hand to good effect. He then clips the next ball on the leg side for one to bring Kuldeep Yadav on strike.

Kuldeep sweeps a full delivery to fine leg for one to get off the mark and Kohli drives the fifth ball uppishly to sweeper cover for a single.

Kuldeep clips the last ball square and Kohli pushes him for the second which helps him keep the strike for the next over.

16:32  Kohli hits 40th ODI century:  

Maxwell doing a good job with the ball, going at just four per over and Australia continue with him.

Kohli, on 86, gets a lifeline as he hits it straight to Maxwell at point and sets off for a quick single. However, the fielder misses with the direct hit with Kohli struggling to make his crease.

And Kohli eventually gets the run courtesy of an overthrow before Jadeja runs the next ball to thirdman for one.

Another single for Kohli to take India to 204 for six in 40 overs.

16:05  Zampa’s double strike leaves India in trouble:  

Kohli flicks Lyon square on the leg side for two runs and then takes one to fine leg.

Jadeja is then beaten as he comes forward to defend but misses and the wicketkeeper whips off the bails in a flash before he appeals for stumping which is referred to the TV umpire. Jadeja has managed to drag his feet back in the crease and he survives the stumping appeal.

Jadeja then taps Lyon on the off-side for one and Kohli nudges the last ball fine on the leg side for another single.

Part-time spinner Maxwell, who bowled five overs in his first spell early on, comes back.

Jadeja offers no shot to a wide delivery before he picks one on the off-side.

Maxwell bowls a leg side wide to Kohli, who clips the last ball through midwicket where the fielder does well to run to his left and put in the slide to keep it down to two.

15:52  Dhoni and Jadhav perish; India 6 down:  

Kedar Jadhav comes in at No. 6 as Dhoni is held back. He gets off the mark with a single off Lyon on the leg side and Kohli also does the same next ball.

Jadhav then cuts a short ball past point for three runs before he tries to pull but can’t beat the fielder on the leg side.

In the leggie’s next over, Jadhav attempts the sweep which takes the bottom edge and goes between the wicketkeeper’s legs for a four.

However, he perishes off the very next delivery as hits a flighted delivery from Zampa straight into the hands of the fielder in the cover to perish for 11.

Dhoni falls off the very next delivery for a duck as he looks to run a wide delivery from Zampa to thirdman but he ends up getting caught by Usman Khawaja in the slips.

Shankar looking to take on the bowlers now. Zampa comes back into the attack and Shankar lofts the first ball back over the bowler’s head for a four before taking a single off the next.

He bowls another overpitched delivery as Kohli manages to crash it through the covers for another four.

Kohli then hammers the next ball straight as Zampa gets a touch on his follow through and the ball deflects on to the stumps to run out Shankar, who had backed out of his crease trying to look for a run.

An unfortunate end to Shankar’s good knock, he made 46 from 41 balls and promised a lot more before he was run out.

15:15  Kohli hits 50th fifty in ODIs to boost India:  

Coulter-Nile comes back into the attack, replacing Lyon, who bowled a short first spell of two overs, in which he picked up a wicket.

In his second over, Maxwell has another huge appeal for leg before wicket turned down against Dhawan, who was trying to turn it on the leg side but missed and was hit on the pads. This time Australia do decide to take the DRS and it turns out to be a good call as the ball is going on to hit the leg stump and Dhawan is given out leg before wicket for 21.

13:11  Jamtha: A happy hunting ground for Team India:  The Vidarbha Cricket Association’s stadium in Jamtha has proved to be a happy hunting ground for India against Australia, with the hosts having won all the three ODI matches played at the venue with comfortable margins.

India first played the Aussies on October 28, 2009, which was co-incidentally the first match at the VCA Stadium, situated on the outskirts of the Orange City.

In that game, the hosts emerged triumphant by 99 runs and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the then captain, led from the front with his 107-ball 124.

India and Australia then squared off in the sixth ODI of the series on October 30, 2013 and the hosts hammered the visitors by six wickets after the Aussies had amassed 350 for six.

The two teams then clashed in the fifth ODI of the series on October 1, 2017, when again the hosts emerged triumphant by seven wickets.

However, Australia have tasted victory once at this stadium against New Zealand on February 25, 2011, when they won by seven wickets in the Group A match of the World Cup.

13:06  Australia elect to bowl; India unchanged:  

Welcome to the coverage of the second ODI between Australia and India in Nagpur on Tuesday.

Australia captain Aaron Finch has won the toss and elected to bowl.

The visitors have made two changes with Shaun Marsh coming back into the team in place of Ashon Turner.

Australia have also included an extra spinner with Nathan Lyon replacing pacer Jason Benrendorff.

India have retained the same playing eleven which won the first ODI in Hyderabad by six wickets.
