    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    He is playing with unshackled fury.

    I can sense genuine anger, he's definitely got some scores to settle.

  2. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    There's no stopping him.

  3. 50 runs

    50 for Rohit Sharma

    Ind 52-1

    Remarkable. Rohit Sharma reaches 50 from only 19 deliveries. This is what he did to Mitchell Starc a little earlier.

  4. Ind 51-1

    Two more fours for Rohit. He's got 49.

  5. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Pat Cummins has got to be on it from the first ball now and hope that the delay has disrupted Rohit Sharma's rhythm.

  6. Ind 43-1

    Play has resumed.

    For full disclosure, Jack is in charge of the live text team today. You wouldn't believe the lengths I had to go to to get him to make a brew during that break.

  7. Bharat Sundaresan
    Journalist on Test Match Special

    The World Cup final hurt him a lot. He was very open about that.

    So today means more to him than just a T20 innings, I suspect there is a lot of pent-up anger and frustration in him that he wants to unleash.

    And he chose Mitchell Starc to unleash it on!

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Rohit Sharma has been ridiculous today. He looks determined to make up for the woes that Australia put his side through in the 50-over World Cup last winter.

  9. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    We won't have lost any overs and the sun is shining again, so it's good news all round.

  10. The covers are coming off. We'll be playing again shortly.

  11. Rohit, by the way, has 41 from 14 deliveries.

  12. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    The rain brings some respite for Australia but Rohit Sharma won't be impressed, it really disrupts your rhythm as a batter.

  13. rain stops play

    Rain stops play

    Ind 43-1

    They're going off. At least something stops Rohit Sharma, but Australia need to play this game - a washout isn't much good to them.

  14. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Welcome, Pat Cummins!

    Another one is sent to the roof. Not many batters have got away with treating him like that.

  15. 6 runs

    Ind 43-1

    Rohit's still smashing it. This time it's Pat Cummins who is mullered over the leg side.

    It's raining, too.

  16. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    There is such a lovely simplicity about Josh Hazlewood's bowling. You'd think that his consistency would work against him in T20 cricket because it could become too predictable, but he's got such great skill at hitting a really nasty length over and over.

  17. Ind 37-1

    Remarkable. Starc has bowled two overs and has figures of 0-34. Hazlewood, from two overs, has conceded only three runs and taken this wicket of Virat Kohli.

  18. Ind 37-1

    Yep, Bashir was taken for 38 off one set in the County Championship, thanks mainly to five straight sixes from his England team-mate Dan Lawrence.

  19. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    It's not even the highest-scoring over of the day, though. Shoaib Bashir would be wishing for 29 off an over.

  20. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    He was just trying to get out of the over but the yorker goes completely wrong.

    Mitchell Starc hasn't had any control today.
