3.4 111.3ks slowie and Owen is caught at short third! The Puducherry crowd likes it. Owen backs away, Thakur takes pace off and asks Owen to delay his swing. But he throws his bat at the ball early and slices a catch off the outside half to Shedge. Good variations from Thakur 32/1

29.6 goes straight up, and Arshad sends back the set batter! Another bumper, angling away from the batter outside off. Konstas has a swipe at it but by the time he makes contact, the ball is near his back shoulder. Does not get any purchase on it and the ball spoons up for Kushagra to snare. Massive wicket in the game's context, and this bowling change has worked a charm for the hosts! 168/3

22.6 Caught at midwicket! Sindhu is pleased as punch. He pumps his fist and bares his emotions. This isn't a great ball. Dragged down on off, Philippe pulls flat and hard to midwicket, where Gaikwad snags the catch. He should've put it away over midwicket. Some respite for India A 133/2

39.2 Another short ball outside off. Scott rolls his wrists well and pulls it behind square. The second seems to be on, but McSweeney, for some reason, hesitates. McSweeney has to then scamper to make it to the bowler's end and is well short as Thakur collects the throw and takes off the bails. A wicket out of nothing for India A, and McSweeney will be gutted at having not made this start count! 215/5

36.6 shanked and taken! Looped up on a length on the stumps, and Shaw's eyes light up. He thinks he can slog this over cow corner but miscues it. Only gets the height he wants and Yash Thakur, placed at deep mid wicket, makes no mistake. Something to show for Nigam for his toil today and the hosts keep chipping away! 207/4

41.6 another high ball, and another dismissal! Given a bit of air on a length on middle and off. Scott winds up for the big slog but gets under it way too much. Sudharsan settles under it at deep mid wicket and gobbles up the chance. Australia A six down now, and in some bother! 226/6

46.1 Chaudhary perishes too, and this innings is now officially in freefall! Back of a length on leg. Chaudhary marches down, trying to go inside out. The ball keeps a little low, though, and clinks off the toe-end. Padikkal, stood at mid off, accepts the offering gleefully, and India A are turning the screw now! 253/8

45.5 catching practice, and Shedge finally gets his man! Not the best hall Shedge will ever bowl. Low full toss outside off and Dwarshuis has a mow at it. Makes decent contact too but is unable to generate the requisite elevation. Straight down Gaikwad's throat at deep mid wicket, and Australia A lose their seventh. No No ball this time either! 253/7

49.5 holes out to long on, and Australia A have been bowled out for 275! Slower ball on a back of a length just outside off. Meredith swings for the hills because, well, why not. Gets it off the bottom half, though, and the simplest of catches for Shedge! 275/10

48.1 sliced to backward point! Australia A crumbling now. Slanted in full on middle and off. A tinge of reverse against the angle and Sangha, stepping down and trying to go inside out, can only slice it to Sudharsan. Australia A nine down! 259/9

8.3 Sai has been bounced out once again! He knows he's gone - so doesn't even bother with a review. Dwarshuis digs this bouncer into the middle of the deck. This climbs on a leg-stump line and discomfits him. He attempts a pull and ends up gloving it behind to the keeper. Are Australia A onto something? 30/3

4.4 Holes out to Sangha at deep third! Johnson digs it shorter and outside off, Padikkal leans back and ramps it in the air, but can't clear the outfielder. Replays indicate that Johnson had rushed Padikkal into that shot. Johnson provides Aus A with the early breakthrough 13/1

5.6 Johnson dives across to his right from deep third and holds onto a screamer! Gaikwad's innings has been cut short on 12 off 5 balls. Banged in on a back of a length and rears up outside off, Meredith generates extra bounce to bother Gaikwad. He can't control his cut and ends up splicing it to deep third, where Johnson pulls off a stunner after dismissing Padikkal with the ball. The Puducherry crowd goes silent 26/2

32.4 clothed to deep square leg, and this is a HUGE moment in the game! Shortish on middle and leg. Patidar shapes for the pick-up pull that has served him so well over the years. This, though, is a slight miscue, mostly because he was cramped for room. Clinks it towards deep square and Konstas snares it. Is that the game?! 134/6

17.5 Kushagra can't clear long-off! He loses his patience. Dangled up wide of off and turns away even further. Kushagra has to reach out for the ball. He ends up slicing it straight to long-off, where Sangha grabs a regulation catch. Good defensive bowling from Chaudhary 59/4

28.6 the pressure tells, and Sangha is on the board! Flighted up full just outside off, and Sindhu cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. To be fair to him, the shot was on, but he had to reach out a touch, meaning the stroke was rid of the requisite power. Deep mid wicket, stood a few yards inside the rope, makes no mistake, and half of the India A batting unit is now back in the shed! 110/5

34.3 superb grab at mid off, and Shedge departs too! Hard length outside off. With mid off up, Shedge thinks he can lift this over the fielder. Does not get all of it, though, and the ball arrows towards McSweeney, who lunges low to his right and snaffles up the chance. India A in a whole heap of trouble now! 149/7

36.5 nicked and gone! Nigam's party is over! Clever bowling by Sangha. Throws this out on a length wide outside off. Nigam swishes at it with all his might but only manages a feather that Shaw hangs on to. India A on the verge of a series defeat now! 167/8

37.6 another soft dismissal! Darted in on a length on the pads. Arshad looks for the flick but he is unable to keep it down. A tame chip in the end and Philippe, stood at mid wicket, does the rest. India A on the brink now! 168/9

45.2 oh, what has happened here?! Looks like Thakur has been given out caught-behind! A bit of an anti-climactic end. The umpire raised his finger belatedly too, and that added to the uncertainty. Anyway, it was a full ball outside off. Thakur went fishing at it without much footwork and nicked it through to the keeper, meaning that Australia A have won this ODI series! 206/10
