India vs Australia, highlights, 2nd ODI at Rajkot, Full Cricket Score: Rahul, Kuldeep star in home side's series-levelling win

India win by 36 runs!

Bumrah runs in, bowls a bouncer, Zampa wanted to cut it but ended up edging it to Rahul behind the stumps. India make it 1-1 in the series with this win. Finally a wicket for Bumrah as well. He has bowled superbly. 

OUT! Snorter from Saini and Starc attempts a pull to evade it, ends up edging it to Rahul behind the stumps, who collects it calmly and starts celebrating. Starc c Rahul b Navdeep Saini 6(11)

OUT! Another yorker and another wicket. This time leg before wicket and the casualty is Agar. Saini was fuller and attacked the stumps, it dipped very late and hit Agar on his toes. Umpire Richard Kettleborough had no doubts in his mind. Agar took the review but only to lose it in the ends. Agar lbw b Navdeep Saini 25(25) 

OUT! And again, this is no replay yet almost a replay. Same delivery, under the bat yorker to Pat Cummins, who got a taste of his own medicine. There was no way he could avoid not getting out to this one. Pat Cummins b Shami 0(1)

OUT! Late riser Shami is here and you can hear the announcement in the sound of the ball castling the stumps. Perfect yorker to Turner who made room to hit the ball but did not know he was only making it easier for the fast bowler to clean him up. Australia lose their sixth wicket. Turner b Shami 13(15)

OUT! BIG WICKET! Smith has fallen for 98. Kuldeep Yadav bowls a wrong'un and Smith made room to cut it, but ended up chopping it on to the stumps. Is this the game for India? It should be, we reckon. Smith b Kuldeep Yadav 98(102)

OUT! That's the end of Carey. Kuldeep flights it and asks Carey to go after him, the left handed batsman reaches to the pitch of the ball and plays an uppish drive, but it goes straight to fielder at short cover. Carey c Kohli b Kuldeep Yadav 18(17) 

OUT! That's the end of Labuschagne. Jadeja spotted him coming down the track and pulled the length back, Labuschagne went ahead with the uppish shot over long off but could not get the elevation, hence getting caught by Shami near the ropes. India finally break the partnership. Labuschagne c Shami b Jadeja 46(47) 

Fifty partnership up between Smith and Labuschagne for the third wicket — a much-needed recovery for the Aussies after the departure of their captain. AUS 132/2

Fifty for Steven Smith — his 24th in one-day internationals! Brings up the milestone with a single off Kuldeep in the 21st over, taking 47 balls to get there — hitting six boundaries along the way. AUS 127/2

OUT! And Jaddu gets the breakthrough by getting the captain stumped. Finch went for a mighty heave, missed it completely and his backfoot was on the crease, without any part of it being behind it, by the time Rahul knocked the bails out. The Indians were fairly confident of the dismissal even before the umpire went upstairs. Drinks called after this dismissal. AUS 82/2

Finch st Rahul b Jadeja 33(48)

FOUR! Short ball and Finch pulls it away for four runs, that goes to the fine leg boundary. Fifty-run stand up for second wicket between Finch and Smith.

OUT! What a catch by Manish Pandey to dismiss Warner. Shami bowled an outswinger and gave enough space for Warner to smash it over point but Pandey timed his jumped perfectly and snatched it from thin air. India will be pumped up after this catch. Warner gone. Warner c Manish Pandey b Shami 15(12)

OUT! KL Rahul is run out after a real gem of an innings. Jadeja fails to connect bat on a short of a length delivery from Starc and looks to steal a bye but an accurate underarm throw from Alex Carey has KLR caught short of his crease, but Rahul has done his part here.

Rahul run out (Carey) 80(52)

FIFTY! Low full-toss from Starc and Rahul stamps his class with magnificent stroke through covers for a boundary.

OUT! Manish Pandey holes out! Pandey has spent a lot of days on the fringe of the team and few more warming the bench but he has thrown away a very good opportunity at a nice batting wicket as well. Kane Richardson banged in a short of length delivery and Pandey went for a pull but only half-heartedly, the ball loops in high the air, giving enough time for Agar to run in from mid wicket and pouch a simple catch.

Manish Pandey c Agar b K Richardson 2(4)

OUT! Kohli launches one straight down the ground but it seems to have come from the cue end of the bat. That's gone a mile in the air but doesn't have enough distance on it. Ashton Agar running in from long off takes a smart catch in the deep before realising his balance was taking him over the boundary line, but Mitchell Starc, from long on, is present in the vicinity to hold on to the relay catch. The Indian captain departs.

Kohli c Starc b Zampa 78(76)

FIFTY! Kohli forces it down to long on for a single to raise his half-century. Job far from done for the Indian captain.

OUT! Gone! Shreyas Iyer perishes to the pressure that was mounting because of the dots balls. Zampa cleverly, tossed this delivery with a slight drift into the right hander. Seeing which Iyer went for a big hoick across the line, ends up missing it horribly, the ball deflects off his pads and onto the stumps. India's number four fails yet again. Time for drinks.

Shreyas Iyer b Zampa 7(17)

OUT! Goodness me, what has he done! Dhawan on the cusp of a well-deserved century goes for the big pull and finds the man in deep at fine leg boundary. Richardson hides his face and thanks his stars, knowing how lucky he is to pick the wicket. On the other hand, Dhawan, throws his head behind before walking off to a big smile. Sad end to what was a very good innings.

Dhawan c Starc b K Richardson 96(90)

FIFTY! Dhawan bunts it past cover for a brisk single to complete his second half-century in as many ODIs. Now for a big one!

OUT! Rohit Sharma one again goes for the sweep and seems to have missed this as the ball hits him on the pads. There is a shout for a leg before and the umpire has raised his finger. This time the ball was pitched slightly up and Rohit misses his sweep and then even loses his balance as well. Rohit consults Dhawan and challenges the decision but to no avail. The DRS confirms three reds, the pitching and the involvement of the mat was never in doubt, the ball tracking showed the ball would have gone on to hit the middle stump. India lose their wicket and their review as well.

Rohit lbw b Zampa 42(44)

India XI: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), KL Rahul (wk), Shereyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah

Australia XI: David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Ashton Turner, Alex Carey(w), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa

Toss: The coin falls in Australia's favour in Rajkot and Aaron Finch has decided to field

Hello and a very warm welcome to our LIVE coverage of the second ODI between hosts India and Australia from Rajkot. Virat Kohli and Co have their task cut out following their disappointing 10-wicket defeat in the opening match in Mumbai, and the major talking point leading up to the all-important clash continues to be the skipper's batting position.

It was also appalling to see a lack of effort from most of the Indian bowlers in the previous game. However despite the loss, this pressure situation is nothing new for the hosts as they have scripted series comebacks on previous occasions. Will they do so this time around? Stay tuned as we bring updates from the game.
