Kevin O'Brien into his fifth over, India are still helping themselves to quick singles - Kohli pokes the ball into the covers and Rahane has to pull out the full-length dive to make his ground at the striker's end. Five singles from the over leave India needing 64 from 21 overs - or, should you prefer, 126 balls.

Jack Tanner: It's hard to believe these are the same England and India teams that played each other in Brisbane two months ago.

Ajinkya Rahane is the new batsman. Thompson, having gone round the park for 18 in his first over, now has 2-30 from four overs.

"Thompson's not express pace and you felt for him coming in today against international batsmen. He got the treatment early doors, but he has come back. I hope he can put a decent spell together on his World Cup debut."

Dhawan finally falls trying to hit Thompson over the top, skying the ball over the covers where he's pouched by skipper Porterfield running back. Kohli had just shown him how it's done, hoisting the World Cup debutant over long-on for six earlier in the over.

Ian Dobson: Ireland must be thrilled to finally get a wicket. Then devastation as Virat Kohli is next down the ramp..

"Dhawan has been in great form in this tournament. He has played so fluently, has really kicked in and looked really good. There was long time where he didn't kick in to his role as a batsman, and he talked the other day about how much it meant to get a hundred. He felt he had been battling for while."

Shikhar Dhawan inches towards an eighth ODI century by tapping a two and flicking a single off his legs to bring up the landmark from 84 balls, removing his helmet to take the applause of the flag-waving Indian fans who have taken over Seddon Park today.

Sean Devilly: Delighted for Stuart Thompson. Has a lot of potential, just needs to start putting in big performances to show why Phil Simmons has backed him so often.

"Thompson has kept the ball outside the off stump, at about maybe 120kph, just angling the ball back into the stumps. He is just trying to bowl to his field, that arc of fielders around the offside. He got the wicket - and that will be important as far as his confidence is concerned."

Thanks, Phil. Morning, everyone - I hope you Ireland fans out there aren't crying into your cornflakes too much. It rather looks like this match is going one way... but you never know. That's why we follow cricket, isn't it?

It looks like an increasingly cold evening in Hamilton - the umpires have called for their heavier coats - and umpire Richard Kettleborough has the chance to stretch his arms inside his big red jerkin by calling Stuart Thompson for a wide. Kohli is off the mark with a single.

The wicket has just brought around a small check in India's progress. Kohli has started patiently and blocks out O'Brien after Dhawan has moved to 97 with a single. I now hand you over to Mr Mark Mitchener, who will see you through to the close.

"There was delicacy and panache from Rohit in that innings - he's a lovely player who makes stroke-making look quite simple, I think. There is an authority and composure about his batting."

The good news for Ireland is that they have a wicket. The bad news is that it brings Virat Kohli to the crease. Just the 6,451 ODI runs to his name at 52.02. Thompson keeps it tight, though, and finishes a good second over without conceding any further runs.

"Thompson, hand in the air Alan Shearer-style, celebrates the wicket!"

This is good to see. It probably won't change anything fundamentally but it is good for Thompson to come back and claim a morale-boosting wicket after his first over in the World Cup went for 18. It is a good length and Rohit looks to steer it down to third man but succeeds only in chopping it on to his own stumps.

John Kenny

"Ireland so far in this World Cup have been pretty good in two of the three disciplines, the batting and the fielding. The fielding in particular has been exceptional for some time now. But in the bowling department, they are just not up to the standard required."

Dhawan is charging towards a century here. He drops to one knee to ramp/flick a ball from Kevin O'Brien down to the fine leg boundary for four. Another boundary follows from the same player from the last ball, which is whipped through mid-wicket.

Niall O'Brien prevents another boundary off Dockrell by sprinting round to flick a lofted drive to extra cover crossing the rope. The respite lasts just one ball, though, as Dhawan hammers one (resulting in him brandishing his bat in one hand like a wand) over mid-on for six.

Jeremy Coney

"George Dockrell comes over the top quite nicely as a left-arm orthodox, gets the ball to turn the ball a little, and he has an impressive arm ball back into the right-hander. He has suffered a little today, but he has looked the most likely to pick up wickets."
