Cricket World Cup group stages, May 30 - July 6

[alfie]

For all the wickets in hand they haven't really accelerated as one might have expected ; just ten overs left and 350 looks a bit of a stretch now. Indeed if they lose a wicket or two they could fall quite a bit short of that mark.

Of course we won't know how good the final score is anyway until we see Australia bat ; but I feel they might be in danger of leaving a few runs out here today.

And as I type Pandya launches one into the stands so maybe the charge is on on earnest now...need eleven plus per over to reach 350.

Atleast they have started to hit fours and sixers.

[alfie]

Coulter-Nile came back quite well from his early expensive overs to limit his personal damage to 1/63.

Zampa now : could be fireworks...

[meninblue]

Hardik smoked that for six Lovely connection. 27 from 16 balls.

[meninblue]

4 and a 6. Hardik scores 10 of two balls of Pat's first two balls.

[alfie]

Starc and Cummins with five left between them. Finch has to find two more somewhere.

Actually that Zampa over wasn't too bad ...but it still went for ten.

And Cummins is getting some tap now anyway...

[meninblue]

Hardik has raced to 46 from 25 balls.

[alfie]

Lively little knock from Pandya comes to an end as he chips a full toss to mid off...

301/3 not much time left for Dhoni to get set. Cummins ends with 1/55

[meninblue]

Hardik out after playing an excellent innings of 48 from 27 balls. Well played.

[meninblue]

Dhoni on fire as well. 350 very likely.

[meninblue]

Wicket for Stoinis. Dhoni caught and bowled for 27 from only 14 balls. Well played.

[alfie]

Starc getting battered around in these death overs...pace doesn't make you immune to strong hitting from set batsmen...

Stoinis to try and keep it under 350... And starts well with a good c&b ! Dhoni cameo over.

[meninblue]

352/5. Excellent batting performance. Everyone who batted this innings have played magnificent knocks. Total team effort.

[alfie]

352. Probably too many for Australia to chase. But this looks a road , and if Warner gets going...

[yuppie]

I think that's more than enough for India, though at 1 for 200 it could have been much worse for Australia.

Maxwell and Warner will need to have good games if Australia is to get close.
