The three-match ODI series is settled at 1-1 and both India and Australia will be looking to end this series on a winning note. The series decider in Chennai will surely be a hot, sweltering day with a slight chance of rain.
Australia lost the Test series, made a strong comeback in the ODI series,
With this win, they become the top-ranked ODI side.
Steve Smith surely had quiet a tour after being given the resposibility to lead the Aussies. The Aussies have come back from behind to win this 3-match series.
Kuldeep Yadav shimmies down to pull and inside-edges to the left and keeps running.
Meanwhile, Siraj is ball-watching and stationary at the other end.
Stoinis collects the ball and lobs it to the keeper who wraps up the proceedings.
Kuldeep Yadav run out (Stoinis/Carey) 6(15)
After being hit for a SIX and a FOUR, Stoinis has the last laugh against Shami!
The fuller than good length, Shami clears his left leg to swing it across but the inside edge gets the stumps rattle.
Shami b Stoinis 14(10) [4s-1 6s-1]
Fourth wicket for Zampa! Jadeja comes down the track to slog across the line but does not connect.
Jadeja c Stoinis b Zampa 18(33) [4s-1]
Big big wicket and surely not something India needed at this point!
Smith calls for it, runs to his left and takes a safe catch of the all-rounder.
Hardik Pandya c Smith b Zampa 40(40) [4s-3 6s-1]
Don't think ODIs are for SKY as he has been gotten out for the third time in a row on a duck.
Suryakumar Yadav stays leg-side of the ball and looks to play it off the back foot but got beaten with the inside edge that rattles the sticks.
Suryakumar Yadav b Agar 0(1)
The well-set Kohli is gone and surely Smith and his Aussie side are happy.
Kohli had got forward to go over extra cover but ended up chipping it in the air where it was a straight grab for Warner at long-off.
Kohli c Warner b Agar 54(72) [4s-2 6s-1]
Fifty for Kohli and the whole of Chepauk stood up to applaud the knock. He raised his bat and the noise gets even louder.
Full toss slanting in, Axar flicks it wide of mid-wicket and sets off for the single.
However, Kohli was in two minds and Axar was already halfway through.
He turned to go back but it was a little too late.
Axar run out (Smith/Carey) 2(4)
Zampa breaks the partnership just as Rahul had started to be aggressive.
Rahul does not get fully under it and goes flat towards long-on as Abbott takes a well-judged catch in front of the rope.
Rahul c Abbott b Zampa 32(50) [4s-2 6s-1]
Australia take a review and it goes in their favour. The onfield call is not out but had to be reversed.
UltraEdge confirmed that Gill was hit on the pad first and Ball Tracking showed three reds.
Carey who convinced Smith to take the review must be delighted.
Shubman Gill lbw b Zampa 37(49) [4s-4 6s-1]
Rohit departs against the run of play. The skipper was looking in good form but, after swipes it over square leg, he has to walk off.
Rohit c Starc b Abbott 30(17) [4s-2 6s-2]
Despite wickets at regular intervals, Australia's lower order take them to 269.
Marsh and Head's strong 68-run partnership was broken by Hardik and then the Indian bowlers found their groove.
Pandya and Kuldeep got 3 wickets each while Axar and Siraj have 2 wickets each to their name.
Starc gets into a good position to pull, but the ball goes towards India's best fielder.
Jadeja who is at deep square leg, bends forward to take a low catch.
Starc c Jadeja b Siraj 10(11) [6s-1]
The batsman stands tall to pull the bouncer but it got more height than distance.
It took the top-edge and went straight down Axar's throat at deep mid-wicket.
Agar c Axar b Siraj 17(21) [6s-1]
Axar bowls a length and attacks the sticks. The ball skids and makes a mess of the sticks.
Abbott b Axar 26(23) [4s-2 6s-1]
The ball drifts in and pitches around leg on a length and Carey is stuck in his crease.
He looked to defend, but the ball spun away sharply, beating the outside edge and crashes into the off-stump.
Carey b Kuldeep Yadav 38(46) [4s-2 6s-1]
Stoinis slightly backs away to loft the ball but the bat turns and the ball akes the inner part of the bat and goes and lands into the hands of Shubman Gill.
Stoinis c Shubman Gill b Axar 25(26) [4s-3]
Almost a repeat of the way Warner got out. Labuschagne steps out and looks to loft but Gill runs in from long-off and laps it up safely.
Labuschagne c Shubman Gill b Kuldeep Yadav 28(45) [4s-1 6s-1]
Another partnership is broken and Hardik is once again involved, but this time he takes the catch.
It was a flighted delivery by Kuldeep and Warner runs down the wicket.
He wanted to loft it there, but the ball turns goes towards long-off and Hardik runs in, takes the catch and tumbles over.
Warner c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 23(31) [4s-1]
Hardik Pandya gets his 3rd and this one is the big fish! Marsh didn't move his feet much and the good length outside off saw him pushes at it and only manage a thick inside edge which crashes into the stumps.
Mitchell Marsh b Hardik Pandya 47(47) [4s-8 6s-1]
Just what India needed! Hardik Pandya gets his second wicket in his second over. This is the 5th time Hardik Pandya has dismissed Smith in ODIs.
Smith c Rahul b Hardik Pandya 0(3)
The 68-run partnership is broken! The bowling change works and especially after the dropped catch earlier in the over. Head cuts it away over backward point and Kuldeep Yadav gets low and takes it safely.
Head c Kuldeep Yadav b Hardik Pandya 33(31) [4s-4 6s-2]
