76th over: Australia 246-5 (Green 36, Paine 25) The boundaries keep coming for Paine. Four of them in five balls, as he sweeps Ashwin fine before backing away and cutting him through point. In a hurry.
75th over: Australia 237-5 (Green 35, Paine 17) Bumrah bowls to Paine and another catch is dropped! Poor Jasprit Bumrah. He’s tired, he’s sore, he’s working hard for his team nonetheless, and he’s getting no support. This time Paine reaches and edges, low to about second slip where Rohit Sharma is standing wide of the keeper. The catch is low but it carries to his left, and he doesn’t get down in time. Through the hands for two runs. Paine rubs it in by driving through cover point for four, then even worse gets squared up by the sixth ball and edges four more. Along the ground past gully. Karma, sort this man out please.
