India fell way behind the way over rate, so the chase will begin only around 6pm local time. Anyway, 269 is by far the highest score batting first this series. Join Monga to see where this goes, as the teams seek a series win.
RK: "270 - classic 50-over score. Will be an interesting chase!"
Kuldeep Yadav speaks after his three wickets: "I played the India A series here, so I knew the wicket was slow. I really enjoyed that ball [which got Carey]. I have been working on it: just bowl on the middle-and-leg line, and from there, if I can spin the ball, there can be a top edge. I was getting good drift, and bowling a lot of seam-up deliveries. The way Marsh had started, we thought [they would get] 300. But it's a slow track, so we have to bat carefully."
Richard: "The 22 runs added by the last pair could be the difference. I thought 250 would be competitive, and they've taken it further. Game on!"
5.35pm Are Australia about 30 short? Or have they got 30 more than what they should have from one stage? Everyone except Smith got into double figures - scores of the others in the top seven were all from 23 to 47 - and that is exactly where Australia fell short. Warner, Labuschagne and Stoinis went for big shorts despite being well settled, when the pitch didn't really allow big hits. But credit to Pandya, who kept banging it in, and also Kuldeep, whose sharp turn - recall that Carey wicket - tightened things up.

Hamza: "And ideally, Aus should have been all out for less than 250"
Andrew: "Is this a really slow over rate? Seems to be well over" --- Ideally, the chase should have begun 15 minutes from now
Siraj replaces Pandya, who goes off the field

Lucas: "Get a start and get out, is this purely Aussie madness, or is it a pitch that a batter never feels settled on?" --- A bit of both. Batters can settle on this pitch, but they need to give themselves time
Pandya back
