The deciding ODI.
Will Dhoni play defensively again?
Vince has been called up, will he play?

Vince only replaced the drink carrier Malan.
And yet he may need to open the batting with Bairstow as Roy has a finger injury
Confirmed Vince opens the batting

Ali to Kohli, no run, dropped! Buttler could rue that. Kohli attempts an expansive drive, this one didn’t turn and went through to take a thin edge. Tough chance but a gettable one
Direct hit of the stump and the man with the name that sounds like a Lynx advert is run out
84/2 17.5 overs
84-2 stokes gets Dhawan for 44
Karthik gone, played on to his stumps chasing a wider one that stayed low…
125-3 24.2 overs
Dhoni and Kohli both batting now.
Oh, I go to make a tea and have a wee and come back to find Kholi is out.
156-4 30.1 overs
Or is he?? Umpires are checking something, they think Buttler may have removed the bales before the ball hit the stumps but, obviously, no he didn’t…
And now Raina gone
158-5 off of 31
Swiftly followed by Dhoni being given out LBW, being reviewed though…but no it was missing the stumps, reprieve for India.
I like Dhoni’s grey beard. He looks very noble.
