Hardik to Smith, OUT
Pandya has two. And Smith is walking back. Tries another big booming drive, and this is not a slower one. It holds its line against the angle. Well this is not even a seam-up delivery, but still changes direction upon pitching. Smith is driving for the angle, and gets an outside edge through to KL Rahul

Hardik Pandya to Smith, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Hardik to Marsh, 2 runs
Nearly a third wicket for Pandya. Marsh looking to pull over midwicket, but seems like the ball has hurried onto him. He ends up hitting it much straighter than he wants to, but still falls just wide of long-on
Hardik to Marsh, OUT
Timber. Pandya has three in three overs. Marsh misses a fifty for the first time this series. Doesn't look like a slower ball. Looks to drive a length ball outside off, gets an inside edge onto the stumps
Mitchell Marsh b Pandya 47 (47b 8x4 1x6) SR: 100
Pandya on a roll. All 3 wickets to him.
Australia seemed to have read the conditions when they chose to bat and maximised the powerplay, but have perhaps not readjusted their approach past the powerplay. All three wickets have fallen to forceful shots. Pandya continues
