  1. Ind 58-2

    Target 265

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

  2. Aaron Finch

    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.

  3. Adam Zampa replaces Nathan Ellis. Spin from both ends for Australia.

    I'd say that India have just got their noses in front at the minute. This partnership will be very important.

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

    We have got a very intriguing situation in our hands.

  6. Ind 55-2

    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.

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

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

  8. Ind 47-2

    Target 265

    Nathan Ellis changes ends and his third delivery nips away from Virat Kohli's outside edge. That was close.

    He's on course for a maiden but loses his length with his final ball and Kohli laps up the four.

  9. Aaron Finch
    Former Australia captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You'd expect the wicket to get slower and slower as the day goes on. It was unbelievably dry at the start of the day.

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

    To put Cooper Connolly into the attack in the eighth over, after not being in the initial squad, shows how much faith Australia have in him.

  11. Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    That's just the third delivery in the innings that would have hit the stumps - and with Adam Zampa to come, it won't be the last. Lovely bowling from Cooper Connolly.

  12. Ind 43-2

    Target 265

    Australia's tails will be up now after finally getting rid of Rohit Sharma.

    How good will Cooper Connolly be feeling? After a duck and a dropped catch, he's got the big wicket for his side and conceded just one run from his first over.

  13. Aaron Finch
    Former Australia captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Brilliant from Steve Smith bringing Cooper Connolly into the attack.

    WICKET

    Rohit lbw b Connolly 28 (Ind 43-2)

    He's OUT!

    Rohit Sharma sweeps, misses and the ball would've crashed into his leg stump.

    Take a bow, Cooper Connolly. And chapeau to Steve Smith for that bowling change.

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

    That could be a big wicket.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist in Dubai

    There’s a real hush…

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

    Has Cooper Connolly made a turn for the better?

  18. India review

    Cooper Connolly! He thinks he's got Rohit Sharma lbw and the umpire agrees.

    Rohit, however, doesn't think so and sends it upstairs.

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

    Australia need this pitch to turn because they have stacked their side with spinners.

  20. Steve Smith has made a bowling change and he's turned to the left-arm spin of Cooper Connolly. Didn't have that on my bingo card.
