    From this point, Australia restricting the score to less than 200 will feel like a win. With their batting line-up, that does still give them a chance.

  2. Ind 131-3

    What would be a decent result for Australia from here? Anything under 200?

  3. Ind 131-3

    Shivam Dube is the new man, He cuts his first ball for four. Having a look at the bowling, obvs...

    A real statement of intent from the captain. He has taken on the Australians and he has taken them down, too.

    Just the slightest punch of the air for Mitchell Starc. It was fast, it was full and nasty. But one of the great T20 innings comes to an end.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Rohit b Starc 92 (Ind 127-3)

    Gone! The end of a wonderful innings and there will be no record-breaking hundred.

    Mitchell Starc returns and gets a yorker through the swiping Rohit Sharma, who falls for 92 off 41 balls.

    One of the great T20 World Cup knocks.

    It's an absolute hammering.

    Suryakumar is a similar batter to Rohit in terms of his elegance but there is so much power, too. You rarely see Australia looking demoralised, it's not a word you ever associate with them.

    But the game is flying away from them and they need something drastic.

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

    I can't remember an Australia side being treated like this in my lifetime.

  9. 6 runs

    Ind 127-2

    Six over long-off! Australia are getting absolutely mullered.

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

    There is not another player in the world who could play a shot like that. It's well outside off stump and he's pulled it behind square, it is freakish.

  11. Ind 121-2

    Suryakumar Yadav gets in on the fun. Somehow he fetches Cummins from outside off stump to behind square on the leg side for four.

  12. Ind 114-2

    I've made the teas, mainly just so I can show Jack how it's done.

  13. Fastest men's T20 World Cup centuries

    1. Chris Gayle - 47 balls (West Indies v England, 2016)
    2. Chris Gayle - 50 balls (West Indies v South Africa, 2007)
    3. Brendon McCullum - 51 balls (New Zealand v Bangladesh, 2012)
    4. Rilee Rossouw - 52 balls (South Africa v Bangladesh, 2022)
    5. Ahmed Shehzad - 58 balls (Pakistan v Bangladesh, 2014)

    All the coaches are out there chatting, as we've seen quite often during the drinks breaks.

    I'm not sure what Rahul Dravid is saying to Rohit Sharma, though. I'm not sure he needs much advice.

  15. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Australia can't find any way to put the brakes on.

  16. Drinks break

    Ind 114-2

    Halfway. The players are taking drinks. Australia need something stiff.

    Coach Andrew McDonald is out there. Unless he's offering to bowl his dobbers, he might not be much good.

  17. Ind 111-2

    Long hop from Stoinis. Rohit pulls for four. He has 87 from 35. The fastest T20 World Cup ton is from 47 balls.

  18. dropped catch

    Close!

    Ind 106-2

    Almost!

    Rohit just gets Stoinis over the leaping Starc at short fine leg. Fingertip stuff. Four more.

  19. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Nine from the over will be a triumph for Australia.

  20. Ind 102-2

    India reach three figures in only nine overs.

    For those asking, there was no cake with the brew. If I can't get Jack to fill the mug, what chance have I got of a sweet treat?
