Watson hammers one down the ground over mid-on for a one-bounce four but then goes one shot too many from Davey's last ball, dropping to sweep and top-edging a simple looping catch for Cross. Michael Clarke keeps peering to the sky with a concerned look on his face.

Commentator's curse - after we said he was marshalling India well against Zimbabwe, Virat Kohli is bowled round his legs sweeping part-time spinner Sikander Raza for 38. India are 92-4 in the 23rd chasing 288 - captain MS Dhoni to the rescue?

"It's definitely going to rain again, looking at the mountain now. It's closing in on us here. Australia need to get the runs in the next 20 minutes."

We need 20 overs to be bowled in this innings to constitute a complete match, if Australia have not already reached their target.

The Taylor v Watson sledging side-show is shelved for now as Wardlaw returns to the attack. Clarke greets him with a big six down the ground for six. Watson then lofts one over mid-off but it plugs and the batsmen can only claim two more runs. These two have clearly decided it is time to accelerate with rain closing in and the lunch break just under 40 minutes away.

Suresh Raina has made an unconvincing nine not out from 21 balls but Virat Kohli is marshalling India well, he's unbeaten on 36 - and the Pool B winners are 90-3 after 22 overs chasing 288 to beat Zimbabwe.

Thanks very much James. Well, I can't imagine I'll be writing about this game for long. Australia are making very light work of this humble Scotland total. Clarke takes another significant chunk off the runs required with a pull through mid-on and then a cut through point for a couple of boundaries. Australia's main opponent to victory now is the weather, although at the moment - despite very grey skies - it is holding off.

"I'd like to hear more from Kevin Pietersen. I think he's terrific. His quotes are great. He is very honest and good on him."

Shane Watson is using his feet nicely here - it looks like that good knock against Sri Lanka has given him a bit of confidence. He steps away and batters Taylor over cover point. A few verbals between batsman and bowler - with Watto appearing to offer a very polite 'Pardon?' in response to Taylor's opening salvo. A minor victory for Taylor when he gets Watson to inside-edge onto his pads, and he follows it up with some more chirp. Watto wears the look of a man who can't quite believe he is being sledged by a bowler from Scotland, and he gets the final say when he clubs Taylor down the ground for another four.

Time for a change at the controls. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Phil Dawkes.

Oohs and aahs around the Bellerive Oval as Michael Clarke is struck, ahem, amidships. Clarke plays out a rather sedate maiden over while he recovers his composure.

Scotland need to follow up that Finch wicket with another breakthrough, but Michael Clarke looks in good touch here. He punches Taylor down the ground for four with an on-drive. Watson locates a similar section of the boundary rope via rather more agricultural methods, stepping away to leg and baseballing the ball back past the bowler.

Josh Davey, who is now fourth in the wickets standings at this tournament, behind Mitchell Starc, Trent Boult and Mohammed Shami, gets his first bowl. A decent start too, as he keeps the batsmen to three no-risk singles from his first over.

"Scotland are the first team to have five ducks in an innings twice in World Cup matches (they also had five v NZ earlier in this tournament).

"But their ninth wicket partnership aggregate of 131 (avg 26.20) is the highest in this World Cup (second is Zimbabwe's 107 @ 21.40)."

A look at Rob Taylor's pitch map shows he's landing the ball on a good length pretty consistently. Shane Watson might consider coming down the wicket to him later on in his innings, but for the moment he's happy to play himself in especially with such a small target on the board. Just a single, tucked into the leg side off the final ball of the over.

Not plain sailing either for India in Auckland as Ajinkya Rahane has been run out - by the narrowest of margins - to leave them 71-3 after 16.3 overs needing 288 to beat Zimbabwe.

Shane Watson is the new man. Scotland briefly think they might be in business again when Michael Clarke sends one spiralling into the Hobart skies off a top-edged pull, but it travels all the way over the rope. Clarke moves on to 20 with a more convincing shot, cutting powerfully through point for four. Australia aren't hanging about here.

"Finch is not going to change the way he plays. He didn't quite get to it. He looked in pretty good fettle apart from the edge early in his innings. It was not a long innings, though."

Aaron Finch's patchy tournament continues. He continues to look chancy after being dropped at slip in Taylor's last over, getting away with a very uppish stroke through the covers. He doesn't learn his lesson though, same shot next ball, again it's aerial, and Freddie Coleman takes a really sharp snag diving forward at cover. Taylor gets his revenge.

As Australia continue their mission to beat the rain, a brief update from Eden Park.

Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane are settling in well as India chase 288, following the earlier loss of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan in the space of the same Tinashe Panyangara over.

India are looking to finish with a perfect record of six wins from six in Pool B before they take on (almost certainly) Bangladesh in the quarter-finals.

Scotland, you'll recall, aren't the first team to drop Aaron Finch early doors - England shelled him on 0 in their match, and he went on to make a century. After getting lucky in the last over, he's in the mood to make the most of that good fortune.

First he clips Wardlaw sweetly off his pads for four, then he increases the dose with a huge maximum pulled over square leg. Yowzer. He's not done either, smashing the bowler through mid-on for another four. Australia up and running.

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"There is a bit of life in this pitch. We thought that when Australia were bowling on it but even Taylor and Wardlaw are getting something out of it. Scotland are buzzing around. This is their last foray so they have clearly decided to show they can perform. There has been plenty of energy so far. How long that lasts we will see."
