    Brilliant batting from Alex Carey. A few batters have tried to play that shot today and not made the boundary but Carey got the pace of it.

    He is timing it so nicely out there. It makes you think as a bowler about trying to do things little bit differently.

  2. Aus 246-7

    Lovely.

    Alex Carey makes the most of the extra pace on the ball from Mohammed Shami, and ramps over the keeper for four.

    Spin has been incredibly effective for India so scoring has been fairly low.

    At one stage, Australia were on for nearly 300. They need to be going at nine an over from here to really put something good on the board.

  4. Aus 242-7

    Alex Carey has played brilliantly.

    He's got four overs left to make it a match-winning knock.

    Dwarshuis had to be the one to take the risk, he had to try and clear the boundary but it is a big old heave needed to get there.

    He picked out the fielder perfectly with that slog sweep.

    Dwarshuis c Shreyas b Chakravarthy 19 (Aus 239-7)

    Dwarshuis slog sweeps to deep fielder

    Well, he tried.

    Ben Dwarshuis actually connects pretty well with his slog sweep but Shreyas Iyer is perfectly placed to take a simple catch.

    The expectation is all on Alex Carey, now.

  7. A few more of these would be welcome from Australia's point of view.

  8. Aus 239-6

    A flurry of singles from Shami's eighth over.

    Pressure is building, with boundaries hard to come by.

  9. Ben Jones

    There's lots of chat about conditions, but there's not been huge turn. An average of 2.5 degrees of turn for the spinners is the lowest for any match in Dubai this tournament.

    Australia would have taken 260 at the beginning of this match but India have a fantastic chasing side.

    I cannot stress enough how different these pitches have been in Dubai. Every single game has been different.

  11. Aus 234-6

    A decent over for Australia.

    Dwarshuis gets an outside edge that races away for four, before Alex Carey adds a couple with a mis-timed paddle over the keeper's head.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It sails over the fielder's head! That was a much-needed six for Australia.

    They need another 50 runs to really be competitive.

  13. 6 runs

    Aus 227-6

    That's more like it.

    Ben Dwarshuis has had enough of the blocking, and slog sweeps Kuldeep Yadav into the stands.

    More of that, please.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Alex Carey

    A fantastic knock from Alex Carey, who reaches his fifty from 48 balls.

  15. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We know that Dwarshuis can bat, we've seen him before, but at the moment he looks like a number 10, not a number eight.

    Those last two wickets have changed everything for India.

  16. Aus 217-6

    Alex Carey will have to be smart about how he farms the strike here.

    Ben Dwarshuis is struggling against the spinners and using up far too many deliveries, with four from 15 so far.

    India will be delighted with this, balls are being eaten up.

    Australia shouldn't be happy with this total. I personally see nothing wrong with this pitch. It is slow, but not as slow as other pitches we have seen in this tournament.

  18. Aus 214-6

    Brilliant from Kuldeep Yadav, just a single from his over.

    Rohit Sharma has rotated the spinners so well. Axar Patel and Jadeja have two overs left each, while Kuldeep and Chakravarthy have three.

  19. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Alex Carey has placed that ball to perfection. He got down on one knee and timed and placed it perfectly.

    It has been a very intelligent innings from him.

  20. Aus 213-6

    Alex Carey continues to counter-attack, as he reverse-sweeps Axar Patel for four.

    10 overs to go...
