Coulter-Nile 3-51(10 ov)
46.6
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, no run, he asked umpire Anil Chaudhary how many balls were left in the over before NCN started his run-up. With this being the last ball of the over, Pandya was looking for a boundary. Backed away and slashed hard, but Coulter-Nile beat him with a 140kph back of a length delivery
46.5
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run, lofted drive over mid-on, but there is protection in the deep
46.5
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, wide, short delivery on the stumps, Bhuvneshwar tries to ramp it for a boundary, misses, too high according to the umpire
46.4
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, no run, oh nooo! Bhuvneshwar has smashed this into Hardik Pandya's helmet. The Aussies and Bhuvi rush to tend to Pandya. Smith checks Pandya's health and calls for the physio. The ball seems to have hit Pandya under the right ear. Looked like he managed to take some pace off the ball by using his hand as first line of defence. Loud cheer across the crowd as Pandya stands and gets ready to continue. Signals for another helmet
46.3
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, no run, oh what happened there? Bhuvi didn't read the slower ball bumper. In fact it was the normal pace short ball. Bhuvneshwar checked his shot at the last moment and popped in the air, fell between three players
46.2
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, FOUR, that'll do for India. Frustrating for a bowler to see the ball go for four off the edge. Short delivery, Bhuvneshwar swung hard at it, got a thick enough edge to beat third man and the keeper
46.1
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Pandya punches nicely to sweeper cover
44.6
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run, backs away and guides it to third man, keeps strike
44.5
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, no run, fullish and swinging back in, Bhuvneshwar defends it to the left of the bowler, who manages to stop the ball in his followthrough
44.4
Coulter-Nile to Bhuvneshwar, no run, lovely inswinging yorker on the off stump, Bhuvneshwar digs it out
44.3
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, driven to mid-off, takes on Warner's throw and makes his ground. Even a direct hit couldn't have got him out
44.2
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, no run, tails back in and cramps Pandya for room, manages to punch it to mid-on
44.1
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, no run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Pandya blocks
37.6
Coulter-Nile to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, oh almost bowled first ball. Coulter-Nile is certainly getting it to reverse. Pandya tries to defend, gets a thick edge that just misses the stumps
37.5
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, out Bowled!! "Very rarely you see Kohli being dismissed in the 90s," says Harsha on air. But one could see this coming, especially in the last 5 minutes or so. Kohli hit a lovely boundary in the previous over, but ever since then couldn't find the middle of the bat all of a sudden. All cue-enders and mistimed hits. This time he opts to guide a reverse swinging (incoming) length ball that is just outside off stump. A dangerous ploy that and he pays the penalty by dragging it back onto the sticks to shock the nation. Anyway, a top innings under really difficult conditions. He was struggling with the humidity, but managed to keep himself going. Kohli b Coulter-Nile 92(107) [4s-8]
37.4
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, 2 runs, oh flicked in the air and just wide of the man catching at short mid-wicket, lovely work from Cummins near the rope, stopped the boundary and relayed it to his team-mate to keep the batsman down to two
37.3
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, that's a lovely slower ball bumper, Kohli didn't read that and played way too early as he tried the pull shot
37.2
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, allows the length ball to come to him and tries to guide it to third man for a single, but finds backward point
37.1
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, the ball seems to be stopping on the batsman. Kohli has definitely not timed the ball well in the last three, four balls. Short of a length delivery angled in, Kohli manages to play it to mid-wicket
35.6
Coulter-Nile to Dhoni, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Dhoni defends it to point
35.5
Coulter-Nile to Dhoni, FOUR, what's NCN thinking here? That Dhoni struggles against the short ball? He's a pretty good with the pull/hook shot son! And this isn't the WACA to really jump on the batsman. Short and down the leg-side, easy swivel pull and Dhoni has spotted fine leg very fine and places it perfectly to his left
35.4
Coulter-Nile to Dhoni, no run, soft appeal for caught behind, not given and Dhoni generally walks if he edges. Short delivery on the leg stump, Dhoni misses the pull shot
35.3
Coulter-Nile to Kedar Jadhav, out Caught by Maxwell!! That's a wicket against the run of play, meanwhile there is a loud cheer in the ground as the camera pans to MS Dhoni getting ready to walk out with his helmet on. Right then, just as this partnership was threatening to break free and really accelerate hard, Jadhav throws it away. Short and wide, certainly not a wicket taking ball. Jadhav reached out for the cut shot, didn't bother to keep it down though and found Maxwell at backward point. Shake of the head from Maxwell too, suggesting that he didn't spot that ball early. Kedar Jadhav c Maxwell b Coulter-Nile 24(24) [4s-2 6s-1]
35.2
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, 1 run, this seems to have kept a touch low, Kohli manages to knock it to backward square leg off the back foot

26.6
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, short of a good length and just outside off, Kohli took a couple of strides forward, played with an open face and dabbed it in front of point. He took a couple of steps further only to be alerted and sent back by his partner
26.5
Coulter-Nile to M Pandey, 1 run, the stumps at the bowler's end has cost Manish three runs, on a good length and just outside off, he closed the face of the bat and smacked it back at the stumps at the other end
26.4

24.1
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, 1 run, slower delivery outside off, might have hit a crack, Kohli waits on it and dabs it past the lone slip
7.6
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, no run, pushes it to cover
7.5
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, FOUR, glorious from Rahane. Almost a replica of the boundary earlier in the over. A cross-seamer from NCN, hoping to extra a bit of extra-bounce. It's not that it's a half-volley, far from it, but the timing from Rahane is sumptuous. He doesn't go hard, not wanting to overhit it, and caresses it through extra-cover
7.4
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, no run, full ball outside off, left alone
7.3
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, no run, fuller than a good length outside off, left alone
7.2

7.1
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, FOUR, he's played some lovely drives in his little knock so far. Fullish just outside off, the front foot presses across beautifully and the upper body follows in one motion. Times it to perfection through extra-cover
5.6
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, FOUR, drills the half-volley through cover. No problem with that
5.6
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, wide, down the leg-side, wided
5.5
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, no run, blocked from the crease
5.5
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, wide, flashes at a very wide ball. That's how he got out in the first ODI. Careful
5.4
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, 1 run, excellent bowling from NCN, and he almost snaps up Kohli too. Dangles it full outside off after that physical blow, and gets the outside edge as Kohli chases after it. The thick edge runs away past a diving gully to third man
5.3
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, hits Kohli on the arm! The Indian skipper misjudges the line of this short ball. He wanted to evade it, but was in no position to do so. Credit to him for braving a blow on the body
5.2
Coulter-Nile to Kohli, no run, full ball outside off, left alone
5.1
Coulter-Nile to Rohit, out Caught&Bowled!! He's taken it on the second attempt. The ball seemed to travel in slow motion after leaving Rohit's bat, but NCN judged the pace of it nicely and put his right hand up in time. It popped up at first, but then he reacted well to grab it on the rebound. So Rohit fails, for once, at Eden Gardens. This is a big wicket. Not sure what happened there. It was a full ball, and he was a bit lazy on the drive. All he did was bunt it back off the toe-end and chipped it straight down. Silence at the ground, which is followed by a huge cheer as Kohli walks out. Rohit c and b Coulter-Nile 7(14) [4s-1]
3.6

3.2
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, FOUR, excellent timing on this; it's just a steer but it has raced away. Fuller than a good length just outside off, Rahane opens the bat-face and places it nicely past a diving cover-point
3.2
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, wide, sprays down the leg-side, wide called
3.1
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, FOUR, gives the ball every opportunity to swing by pitching it up, but the problem is that it's too full. Rahane gets right to the pitch of it by getting the front foot across and drives with the swing through extra-cover
1.6
Coulter-Nile to Rahane, no run, back of a length delivery around off, blocked from the crease. Good first couple of overs from the visitors, right on the money
1.5

1.4
