Both batsmen have crossed their half-centuries. Dhoni is batting on 63* off 60 deliveries. He has hit four boundaries and three huge sixes so far and is looking settled for a lot more. Karthik, batting on 84* has been the sheet anchor and has hit eight boundaries and a six. ==================================================================================== INDIAOver: 33 II Score: 137/5 India have built up a really good partnership here. Dhoni and Karthik are batting very well in the middle and have lent some much needed solidity to the Indian innings. Dhoni has scored at a very good rate. Karthik is bit slow on the run rate but his innings is as vital and he knows he can hit the big shots later in the innings. Karthik has hit four boundaries so far. Dhoni on the other hand has hit three boundaries and huge six of Watson. ==================================================================================== INDIAOver: 23 II Score: 94/5 India have lost another wicket. This time Shikhar Dhawan, trying to pull a short ball, hit it straight to the man at mid on. MS Dhoni is the newman in the middle. He has been very positive from the outset and has been scoring at a good rate. Karthik also has looked very solid in the middle and is giving Dhoni good company. S Dhawan c McKay b Johnson 17 (39b 2x4 0x6) ==================================================================================== INDIAOver: 15 II Score: 51/4 Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik have been cautious in their approach so far and are not looking to play any rash strokes. The bowling has been tight as ever and the batsmen have not been given any width to play their shots. India will be looking to consolidate here and build up a partnership. ==================================================================================== INDIAOver: 10 II Score: 39/4 India have started their second tour game in disastrous fashion as they have already lost four quick qickets in the space of ten overs. Vijay fell in the very second over of the match. Kohli played a few impressive shots but his stay at the crease was also cut short by Starc who dismised him. Then came Rohit Sharma who played a few glorious shots for boundaries but failed to build on the start again. Suresh raina came in to bat and he too fell trapped in front of the stumps. This match which was touted as an encounter between Australian seamers and Indian batsmen has been dominated by Australian seamers as of now. Dhawan has beeeen solid in the middle and is unbeaten on 10*.
