Left-armer Rob Taylor takes the new ball at the other end. And he should have had a wicket with his second ball! He gets one to nip away and square Finch up, it takes the shoulder of the bat but evades the grasp of Preston Mommsen at second slip. Got to pouch those. And then Taylor produces another absolute jaffa, beautiful seam position, swinging in and then nipping away to beat the bat of Michael Clarke. Terrific over, but a luckless one.

Michael Clarke takes strike, and he's away first ball with a leg-side fend off Iain Wardlaw. Finch is also off the mark immediately, and then Clarke pockets the first boundary with a pull to the square-leg fence.

No lunch break yet due to the short nature of that innings, so we're straight back out. Aaron Finch is joined by Michael Clarke for Australia. 18 overs before lunch, can Australia wrap this up before then?

Scotland's batsmen did not sign off from the tournament in impressive style I'm afraid. They simply tried to be too aggressive against an accomplished attack in bowler-friendly conditions. Most of the shots that they got out to wouldn't have looked out of place in a Twenty20 match. There was some good hitting from Matt Machan and Josh Davey, but that target shouldn't even slightly test Australia. But then, I suppose we said that when Scotland played New Zealand, and that turned out pretty close.

So, impressive stuff from the Aussies. We've been spoilt for high-quality fast bowling in this tournament, with Tim Southee and Trent Boult putting in some superb performances, but Mitchell Starc might just be the most impressive of the lot. He was just too good for Scotland's batsmen, who had no answer to his pace, accuracy and late swing.

"It's been a terrific display from the Aussies. Sheer pace and a bit of class from Mitchell Starc polishing off the innings quickly there at the end."

All over for Scotland. Mitchell Starc mops up the tail - Iain Wardlaw is last man out, another perfect yorker, the ball just tailing away from the groping blade at pace to splatter the stumps.

From Eden Park, back to Mitchell Starc. And immediate success for the lanky paceman as he shatters the timbers of Josh Davey with a perfectly directed yorker.

"The covers are coming off - and the players are coming back on. Australia captain Michael Clarke is impatient to get the game back under way in the hope of getting a quick victory before any more rain comes."

Kohli shows some delicate touches after the extravagance the over before. He opens the face on a couple of occasions to work the ball in to gaps for quick singles. Just as the crowd hypes up in Auckland, the players are coming back out again after rain at Bellerive Oval, so it's back over to James Gheerbrant for the resumption of Australia v Scotland.

"The crowd have been stunned into silence by the loss of those two wickets but they're soon alive enough to give Tinashe Panyangara a well deserved round of applause as he traipses to the boundary edge.

"A cry of 'Kohli, Kohli' goes up from the Indian fans goes up as their star man faces his first ball and every shot he plays, whether it's a dot ball or a four is met with screams and cheers."

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Classical batsmanship from Kohli. He's got a very wide base, so he doesn't have to move far forward when he does move. But if Chatara can just get the ball to hold up a bit, he'll get batsmen concerned about where their off stump is."

Bit of class from Virat Kohli early in his innings. Plays the full maker's name down the track and gets four straight past mid-off. Tendai Chatara strays too far on to middle and leg stump and Kohli can flick one away through mid wicket for four more. He's off and running.

"Panyangara is steaming in, he's got the ball moving away from the right-hander and bringing it back in to the left-hander. He's bowling with reasonable pace too."

So, two new men at the crease for India. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. Zimbabwe had a stuttering start to their innings before cutting loose in the middle overs, so 288 looks a long way off at this stage. India remember are looking for a sixth win in six games and their 10th World Cup win in a row.

"A very good wicket for Zimbabwe. Dhawan played with an angled bat, when it was really too close to him to try to get the cut away. It wasn't a good innings from Dhawan, he didn't move his feet much."

Well, well, well. Get one. Get two. We've certainly got a game on here as Shikhar Dhawan succumbs as he tries to cut a ball away outside off stump and chops the ball on to his timbers. Two gone in the space of five balls.

"He was running backwards and I thought he'd got himself into a bit of bother - he was side-on and normally you try to take it in front of you, but he took a good catch."

Well, we come back and first ball, a wicket falls. Rohit Sharma goes for a big drive over the top and miscues high out to the covers where Raza takes a steepling catch. Good early breakthrough for Zimbabwe.

The covers are still on at Bellerive Oval for the time being, so we'll take you back to Eden Park and India's run-chase for now.
