Everything in their favour... are India unbeatable at Champions Trophy?
Rohit Sharma dropped twice by Australia
Inglis c Kohli b Jadeja 11 (Aus 144-4)
Inglis caught by Kohli in the covers
Ah, soft.
Josh Inglis is furious with himself and understandably, because he's thrown it away. An innocuous delivery from Jadeja is just chipped straight to Virat Kohli at cover.
Inglis looks to the sky and shakes his head in frustration as he trudges off.
Smith smashes straight six
Shot!
Steve Smith with a glorious lofted drive down the ground for six.
Aus 133-3
Thanks, Elizabeth.
Steve Smith is helping Australia to a decent platform here. He pulls a rare loose delivery from Chakravarthy for four, before driving a couple to bring up his half-century from 68 balls.
Australia continue to rotate the strike nicely, jogging five easy singles.
And with that, it's time for Ffion Wynne to guide you through the remainder of Australia's innings.

I was about to say I am surprised Alex Carey hasn't come to bat here to get a bit of right-hand, left-hand action in for Australia but he has the worst average v spin in ODIs since the start of 2023 of all of their top order.
Steve Smith has the second best after Travis Head.
Varun Chakravarthy comes back into the attack and chaos ensues.
He's getting the ball to turn back in to the batters, beating Inglis' bat first ball. Australia's batters scramble a trio of singles before a poor delivery is given the treatment by Steve Smith, driving for four.

Marnus Labuschagne was playing more freely out of the two. Australia have done so well this innings to put the pressure on but just a lapse in focus, that's absolutely salmon.
Marnus Labuschagne looks absolutely furious on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, new batter Josh Inglis and Steve Smith rotate the strike for three runs. Inglis is off the mark.

Ravindra Jadeja has another breakthrough for India. They built the pressure and now they'll reap the rewards.
Labuschagne lbw b Jadeja 29 (Aus 110-3)
Labuschage trapped lbw by Jadeja
Oops. Labuschagne starts the over with a four but two balls later, he's on his way after being trapped lbw.
He thinks long and hard about the review but soon sets off for the changing rooms. The replay shows it would've been umpire's call.

Terrific shot from Marnus Labuschagne. Dismissive and effective.
Skittish? What do I know?
Marnus Labuschagne gets hold of the first delivery of Ravindra Jadeja's fifth over and sweeps him for four.

Steve Smith is starting to look a bit twitchy out there.
A messy over from Australia, with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith both fortunate to still be in the middle.
One ball after being dropped, Smith goes for a bizarre ramp. Australia are looking a little skittish.
Aus 106-2
Shami drops sharp chance off Smith
Steve Smith smashes the ball straight back to Mohammed Shami but the bowler, who earlier dropped Travis Head on 0, misses out on another caught and bowled.
The ball crashes into the base of his left hand and ricochets straight back out again. That'll be sore in the morning.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Australia are trying to pout some pressure back on Mohammed Shami.
It's nearly another bowling change masterstroke from Rohit Sharma. Marnus Labuschagne wafts at a wider delivery and narrowly avoids edging through to KL Rahul. His bat was millimetres away from the ball.
Rohit Sharma has decided to go back to pace, with Mohammed Shami returning to the attack. Interesting...
