India left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav took a hat-trick against Australia in the second one-day international at Eden Gardens on Thursday.

The 22-year-old dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins in his eighth over.

The Man of the Match was, however, Virat Kohli for his knock of 92 runs in tough conditions.

So that's all from our live coverage of the 2nd ODI between India and Australia.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Until next time, it's goodbye!

'21:35

'21:12

'21:06

Stoinis and Coulter-Nile are doing well to hold on to their wicket and rotate strike.

But the players just seem to be going through the motions at the moment. An Indian win is inevitable at this point.

AUS - 174/8 after 38 overs.

'20:53

Kuldeep becomes the third Indian to pick a hat-trick in ODI cricket. Kapil Dev and Chetan Sharma being the others.

'19:04

Good captaincy from Kohli. Gives Bhuvi another over.

Although India didn't get one more wicket, it shows Kohli realises the importance of getting wickets at the moment.

Bhuvi has bowled a top class opening spell here. Has got two wickets and given just nine runs from his six overs.

AUS - 49/2 after 11 overs.

'18:59

Pandya comes into the attack, is greeted by a smashing pull from Head for four.

The left-hander follows that up with three runs through covers.

Seven runs from that Pandya over.

AUS - 47/2 after 10 overs.

'18:44

Head survives a close call!

The Aussies are living dangerously here.

'18:40

The visitors cannot afford to lose another wicket at the moment.

'18:17

Steady start from Bhuvi.

Just the one run from the first over.

'18:13

We're ready for action to resume at the Eden Gardens.

Australia need 253 to level the five-match series 1-1.

Here we go!

'17:44

This has been a good effort by the visitors.

However, 252 on a slow wicket can be tricky to get.

India have fine bowlers in their ranks, and a few early wickets can make a huge difference.

Let's hope there's no more rain on the cards at the Eden Gardens.

Join us after a short break for live action!

'17:42

India finish with 252.

Smith drops it this time. Bhuvi skies one

'17:18

The players are off the field as it rains at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Stay tuned for further updates!

'17:15

Drama here at the Eden Gardens!

Pandya gets caught by Smith, but is given not-out because of the waist-high full-toss.

Meanwhile, Smith realised there was a possibility that it could be a no ball and ran out Pandya, who surprisingly left his wicket and walked off before the catch was taken.

The Aussies were furious that even though it was a no ball, why was Pandya given not out even after being clearly run out.

The umpires stuck by their decision, and after some research it was revealed that the ball was dead once the catch was taken and thus Pandya was indeed not out.

Aaand to top it all, the players had to leave the field after that all the drama because of rain.

Phew!

'17:08

Bhuvi nearly takes Pandya's head off!

A thundering straight drive by Bhuvi and the ball crashes into Pandya's helmet at the other end. He simply didn't have time to avoid getting hit.

Pandya gets back to his feet after staying down for a few minutes.That was a close call. Could've been disastrous.

Seven runs from that over and Coulter-Nile's spell comes to an end. Gave away 51 runs and got 3 wickets. Good effort again by the tall fast-bowler.

'17:01

Four runs from that Stoinis over.

Looks like India will be happy just getting past 250.

IND - 226/6 after 46 overs.

'16:57

Just two runs again, this time Coulter-Nile keeps things tight.

The worry for Australia, though, is that who will bowl the final overs for them.

Agar is off the field with cramps, and Cummins and Coulter-Nile just have an over each left.

'16:53

Just two runs from that Stoinis over.

Bhuvi playing out five dot balls.

India can't afford this. Pandya has to get more of the strike.

'16:49

First shot of authority from Pandya!

Slaps a short and wide ball from Cummins for four.

First target for India has to be getting past 250.

IND - 218/6 after 43 overs.

'16:41

What a spell this has been from Pat Cummins.

IND - 208/1 after 41 overs.

'16:36

Pandya will have to play another special knock if India are to get past 300.

'16:15

OUT!

Kedar Jadhav removed by Coulter-Nile, caught by Maxwell.

Loud cheers at the Eden Gardens as MS Dhoni walks out to the middle.

IND - 190/4 after 36 overs.

'16:11

SIX!

Stoinis pitches it short and wide, Kedar throws his hands at it, the ball sails over the square third man boundary.

The diminutive right-hander is getting a move on here.

IND - 185/3 after 35 overs.

'16:07

Kedar cracks it up a notch, smashes Agar for back to back boundaries to end the over.

India need more of that if they are to get past 300 today.

IND - 176/3 after 34 overs.

'15:51

The Indians not looking for boundaries at the moment. Dealing in ones and twos.

Australia wouldn't mind this.

IND - 154/3 after 31 overs.

'15:43

Welcome boundary for the hosts.

IND - 141/3 after 29 overs.

'15:35

OUT!

Manish Pandey clean-bowled by Ashton Agar!

Poor, poor shot from the right-hander.

Went for a nothing sort of late-cut, got cleaned up by the arm ball.

The Aussie left-arm spinner has been impressive today.

Meanwhile, India's middle-order continues to look shaky.

Kedar Jadhav is the new man at the crease.

IND - 131/3 after 27.2 overs.

'15:33

IND - 131/2 after 27 overs.

'15:26

'15:21

OUT!

Rahane is run-out!

Australia get a wicket against the run of play.

This partnership was starting to look good, the visitors will be pleased to see the back of Rahane.

The Mumbaikar will be gutted, has to walk back after doing all the hard work.

Manish Pandey is the new man for India.

IND - 121/2 after 23.4 overs.

'15:16

Rahane brings up his half-century!

India are going at a moderate rate here. But these two have laid the foundation for a strong finish.

IND - 115/1 after 23 overs.

'15:11

50 up for Virat Kohli!

He came after Rahane, but has overtaken him by rotating the strike swiftly.

India need their skipper to get a big one today.

IND - 111/1 after 22 overs.

'14:56

With only one run off the over Ashton Agar seems to be proving Steve Smith right for putting his faith in him.

IND - 83/1 after 17 overs.

'14:36

Smith introduces spin finally.

Ashton Agar, brought in place of Adam Zampa, starts his spell by giving six runs in that over.

Not much turn in the wicket, as was expected.

IND - 70/1 after 14 overs.

'14:30

Keeper Mathew Wade seems to be struggling with some sort of sickness at the moment. The Aussie physio is out on the field tending to him.

The rains have given way to extreme heat in Kolkata.

IND - 63/1 after 12.5 overs.

'14:22

Good finish to that Cummins over for India.

India are taking their time here. Not being overly aggressive.

IND - 50/1 after 11 overs.

'14:13

Kohli copies Rahane!

Walks out against Kane Richardson and plays nothing more than a forward defence. The ball races past covers for four.

Steve Smith might want to consider protecting that area.

Another gem from Rahane!

This time off the back foot, a thundering square-cut for four.

Eden Gardens has always been a high-scoring ground. At this rate, India are looking good to get a big first-innings total.

Final over of the first Power Play coming up.

IND - 43/1 after 9 overs.

'14:08

Rahane is really peppering the gap between covers and mid-off.

This time a simple punch on the rise for for four. Beautiful head position and balance.

Follows that up with an identical shot in the same direction. Top stuff this!

India suffered a major top-order collapse in the first ODI in Chennai, they need these two to have a big partnership today.

IND - 34/1 after 8 overs.

'14:00

The Aussies have a set plan for Kohli here.

Pitch a few short and then throw one full and wide.

The Indian captain has a tendency to go for it hard early in his innings. Gets nicked-off that way often.

Meanwhile, Rahane ends the over with another super shot through overs for four.

IND - 26/1 after 6 overs.

'13:54

OUT!

Rohit goes for another expansive drive through covers, but goes into the shot too early and the ball goes straight back to Coulter-Nile.

This is a big blow for the hosts, Rohit was looking good there.

Anyway, the crowd erupts as captain Virat Kohli walks out to have a hit.

IND - 19/1 after 5.1 overs.

'13:48

Rahane joins the act!

Two boundaries in that over for the right-hander.

First, a beautiful cover-drive, followed but a punch on the front foot past the right of point.

The Mumbai lads have given India a solid start here.

IND - 18/0 after 4 overs.

'13:44

'13:42

What a shot!

Cummins pitches it full and wide, Rohit meets it with the most gorgeous cover-drive for four.

The front foot reached the out, the ball met the screws of the bat, and the shot was finished with the perfect follow through.

Not many cricketers in the world can make your jaw drop with a simple drive through covers. Rohit Sharma can.

Just the four runs from that over.

'13:38

Nathan Coulter-Nile had an outstanding first ODI. He has started off nicely today as well.

Rohit Sharma, for whom the Eden Gardens is an extremely happy hunting ground, is looking solid in defence.

IND - 5/0 after 2 overs.

'13:33

Good start for Cummins. There is sharp bounce in the wicket, all the rain and moisture has given it life.

India will have to negotiate these initial overs carefully. They are 3 for no loss after the first over.

'13:31

'13:29

Right, we're all set for the first set for the first ball in Kolkata.

Ajinkya Rahane has taken strike for India, Pat Cummins has the new ball in his hand for Australia.

Here we go!
