15:37 (IST): WICKET! Vinay Kumar breaks the 108-run stand off 99 balls as he gets Shane Watson. Watson looks for a big heave but fails to get past tall Ishant Sharma at long on. Australia 182/2 (32 overs).

15:19 (IST): FIFTY! Shane Watson scores his 30th ODI fifty. He has dominated the Indian bowling attack. Australia 155/1 (28.2 overs).

15:14 (IST): FIFTY! Phillip Hughes scores his second ODI fifty. Shane Watson at his menacing best. Indian spinner are getting expensive now. Australia 143/1 (26 overs).

14:57 (IST): R Ashwin comes in as the sixth bowling change. Shane Watson survives as Yuvraj Singh misses out on a run out chance. Phillip Hughes hits a huge six over mid wicket off Ravindra Jadeja to bring Australia's hundred. Australia 105/1 (21 overs).

14:34 (IST): WICKET! India get the much-needed wicket, courtesy Suresh Raina's exceptional fielding. Aaron Finch falls just after scoring his second ODI fifty.

13:10 (IST): TEAMS-

INDIA: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (captain, wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Ishant Sharma

AUSTRALIA: Phillip Hughes, Aaron Finch, Shane Watson, George Bailey (captain), Adam Voges, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Haddin (wicketkeeper), James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty

13:08 (IST): QUOTES-

MS Dhoni: We would have bowled first. There were negatives but also some positives from the last game. There will be some dew around later in the day. It is a long series so we will look to level the series and then look for the remaining five matches. We are playing the same side.

George Bailey: We will have another bat. It was a great all-round team effort. 300 today would be great and puts the pressure on the Indian batters. Some of the guys (Shane Watson and James Faulkner) were here before so they gave us their inputs. It is a great start to go 1-0 up we would like to make it 2-0. We are unchanged for today.

13:00 (IST): TOSS! Australia skipper George Bailey opts to bat after winning the toss against India at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

12:30 (IST): STAT! In the last five years, the average of India's bowlers have struggled against Australia. Each Australian wicket costs them 46.55 runs, which is their worst against any team.

12:00 (IST): The pitch at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium is likely to provide the Australian pacers an ideal platform to press hard on the Indian batsmen, who are known to be uncomfortable against fast bowling as well as disconcerting bounce. Mitchell Johnson was particularly impressive in the first ODI, and added later that his tactic was to 'intimidate' the Indian batsmen.

11:50 (IST): The form of Ishant Sharma is a major cause of concern for the Indians. The lanky pacer went for 0/52 in four overs in the Twenty20 international followed by 0/56 in seven overs in the ODI in Pune. He has looked out of sorts over the past few months and failed to hit the right line and length as he delivered a lot of short balls. However, Ishant has found support with vice-captain Virat Kohli.

11:40 (IST): However, a determined Indian team still head into the tie as favourites. The Men in Blue will look to plug their batting and bowling loopholes at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium. A win for George Bailey and Co. will give Australia a run-away lead, which will be a shot in the arm considering they came into the series as underdogs. (Read full preview)

11:30 (IST): The first One-day International at Pune was a shock for the hosts. Outplayed by a gritty Australian side in all departments, India fell short by 72 runs. Yet, it is a long series and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side are looking to bounce back with immediate effect.
