Everything in their favour... are India unbeatable at Champions Trophy?
Rohit Sharma dropped twice by Australia
Target 265

He concedes three singles from the first five balls but releases the pressure off the final delivery, Virat Kohli pulling a shorter ball square for four.
Ball tracking has it missing the leg stump by a mile. Good call from Josh Inglis behind the stumps to halt Australia's appeals.

I was certain that we were going to see a review there.
Target 265
Huge appeal at the end of the 15th over. Has Adam Zampa got Virat Kohli lbw?
It looked close but a grim-faced Steve Smith doesn't take the review.

What I love about low-scoring games is that every run feels like it has such significance.

It's very tight. I've been really impressed with Cooper Connolly. It's the first time I've seen him live and his accuracy has been very impressive.
Connolly dismisses Rohit for first ODI wicket
Target 265
Cooper Connolly continues and concedes seven runs from his fourth over, including a boundary from the bat of Shreyas Iyer. It's not a bad ball, just good footwork from the batter.
Target 265
Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer continue to just rotate the strike and slowly chip away at their target.
It's a very sensible approach (one Australia employed very well, too) and one other teams on the international stage could take note of.
Here's where the worms lie after 12 overs...

India are below the required rate but they know that they can score big if they need to. They also know that they have the best chaser in the world out there.
Target 265
A lovely comeback from Cooper Connolly after conceding a couple of boundaries in his previous over.
Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer pick up three singles.

Target 265
A tidy start from Adam Zampa. Three runs for India.

Shreyas Iyer is such a good player against spin, he'll look to be very aggressive straight away and can hit it out the park.
Adam Zampa replaces Nathan Ellis. Spin from both ends for Australia.

Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
We have got a very intriguing situation in our hands.
210 runs needed from 40 overs
Shreyas Iyer picks off two boundaries from Cooper Connolly's second over. The first is streaky, whistling past Steve Smith in the slips. The second is much more composed, giving a full toss the treatment into the leg side.
India are 55-2 at the end of the powerplay.

It's got to be a strange feeling for Cooper Connolly. He's been put straight into the semi-final.
