Dhawan&#39;s woes Down Under continued with the left-hander edging an Anderson delivery with the score on one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Rahane and Rayudu did the hard bit of negating the new ball and just when it looked they were starting to look comfortable, Rahane stepped out of the crease to hoick Finn, only managing to sky a catch to mid-on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Rahane&#39;s wicket led to a domino effect as India lost Virat Kohli (1), Suresh Raina (1) and Rayudu in the space of three runs to slump to 67 for five in 18.6 overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Dhoni and Binny came together to provide some much-needed rearguard action for India.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But again the Indian duo couldn&#39;t kick on after making a solid start and once Dhoni fell, another string of wickets followed him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Binny fell thanks to a brilliant catch by English captain Eoin Morgan and to sum up India&#39;s innings Mohammed Shami fell the ball after to bring an end to the innings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Brief Scores: India 153 all out in 39.3 overs (Stuart Binny 44, Mahendra Singh Dhoni 34; Steven Finn 5\/33, James Anderson 4\/18) lost to England 156 for one in 27.2 overs (Ian Bell 88 not out, James Taylor 56 not out; Stuart Binny 1\/34).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
