Arshdeep Singh to Ben McDermott
Arshdeep Singh once again finds the yorker, on off, Ben McDermott backs away but only manages to dig it down the pitch. He actually hits it twice and the ball also turns away sharply as Arshdeep Singh does well to stop it moving to his left.

Arshdeep Singh to Ben McDermott
OUT! TAKEN! Arshdeep Singh has the last laugh here! Not the best of deliveries but he gets the wicket of the set Ben McDermott.

Mukesh Kumar to Nathan Ellis
No hat-trick! Serves this one a fraction short and wide, nipping away as well. Nathan Ellis stays put and looks to slap it away but the ball zips past the outside edge. Suryakumar Yadav has a chat about going for the review but rightly decides against it.

A valiant effort in the deep from Ruturaj Gaikwad but Matthew Wade survives.

Arshdeep Singh to Matthew Wade
Nails the bumper does Arshdeep Singh, around off and at over 137 clicks, zipping off the deck. Matthew Wade tries to take it on and misses but is livid about not getting the wide call for height. The replays do show that it was over head height.

Arshdeep Singh to Matthew Wade
Arshdeep Singh holding his nerve here as he nails the perfect yorker around off stump. Matthew Wade can't get under it and can only jam it out back on the deck.

Arshdeep Singh to Matthew Wade
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and India now have one foot over the line here. Arshdeep Singh serves it full again on off stump, a bit in the slot and Matthew Wade decides to sweep this one over the long on fence. Wade can't get under it and ends up hitting it down the throat of Shreyas Iyer at the long on fence. Iyer makes no mistake and Wade walks back still thinking about that wide call. 10 needed off 3 balls now.

Arshdeep Singh to Jason Behrendorff
Comes from around the wicket now and bows it full around off, Jason Behrendorff stays deep and looks to heave it away but gets it off the inner half of the bat to mid-wicket. Just the single then.

Arshdeep Singh to Nathan Ellis
Oh, would you believe it? Nathan Ellis has absolutely clobbered that one but into the umpire at the other end and a certain boundary is stopped. This is full and straight, Ellis drills it back to the bowler who gets a bit of a right hand on it. The ball deflects away a bit and goes into the umpire who himself was trying to get out of the way. Nothing anyone can do there and it will only be a single. Game over now for Australia.

Arshdeep Singh to Jason Behrendorff
What a final over from Arshdeep Singh and India have stolen it at the death! Nails yet another yorker on the stumps, Jason Behrendorff backs away and jams it out on the off side. The batters get across for one but the crowd erupts as India win by 6 runs and seal the five-match series 4-1!
