While there's an unexpected break in Hobart, we'll cross back over to Auckland to update you with what's happening at Eden Park.

Zimbabwe earlier made 287 thanks to Brendan Taylor's blistering 138 off 110 balls.

India's reply has just got started and Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have guided them to 10-0 off three overs.

"This won't be a long break. Australia can get back out there soon enough and wrap up the tail, chase the runs down quickly and give themselves plenty of recovery time before the quarter-final."

"This is exactly why Michael Clarke chose to bowl first. I'm absolutely sure he would've wanted to bat first on any other day, but he desperately wants to make sure of second place in the group and avoid that possible chance of travelling to New Zealand for a semi-final."

And we're off. The rain is pretty light, but persistent, and the umpires have seen enough. Ian Gould and Richard Illingworth are both Englishmen - they've seen worse than this, surely?

Michael Clarke doesn't like it, but the covers are on at the Bellerive Oval.

Ponchos on in the crowd as the drizzle returns. Runs coming off Cummins at a little more than a drizzle, as Leask hammers him for another boundary, this time straight down the ground.

Michael Clarke has given up looking for the edge. With these two on the charge, he takes men out of the slip cordon and puts them in catching positions inside the circle. It's canny captaincy, and it nearly pays off when Davey pops one just short of Clarke himself at short midwicket. Davey picks up three off the final ball of Faulkner's over with a controlled push through the covers.

Well, we know Leask can play his shots, and he's proving it here. Pat Cummins falls back into bad habits, sending the ball down short outside off, and Leask is only too happy to back away and club him through the off side.

First of all he clobbers him over the covers, then lobs him over the infield in the same area with a sort of tennis shot, and then he collects a third straight boundary by jamming a full ball through point. 12 off the over - valuable runs for Scotland.

"Australia getting exactly what they wanted out of this game so far today. Getting the job done. It's not exactly what the crowd want, but Michael Clarke's being fairly ruthless here."

Save four, give away five. Mitchell Starc cuts off a boundary with an agile stop in the covers, then hurls the ball past James Faulkner at the non-striker's end and watches it race away to the rope. First boundary for Michael Leask - he'll not score many easier.

Michael Leask is the new man. You may recall that he once scored 42 off 16 balls against England in an ODI. He needs to hang around, because Josh Davey continues to play well - he moves on to 20 with another four, clipped off his pads through square leg.

"A tentative prod from Rob Taylor. I think the barrage of pace is finding Scotland out here. The game is moving on quickly and Josh Davey is in danger of being stranded. There's a chance here the game could be well done before the rains are forecast to arrive."

Pat Cummins was wayward in his first spell but he's right on the button now. He makes Rob Taylor his third victim when he induces an edge with a pacy delivery in the corridor of uncertainty outside off stump.

"Josh Davey's essentially a batsman who's worked on his bowling latterly. That's three nice shots he's played so far to push Scotland towards some sort of respectability."

Here's our first look at the bowling of James Faulkner. He's number 8 on the teamsheet but probably more renowned for his batting, specifically in the 'finisher' role. He's a very handy bowler though, with real variation in his armoury. His first five deliveries are right on the money, but when he errs with his final, Josh Davey - his counterpart at number 8 - is good enough to caress him through extra cover for four.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has been speaking on Fox Sports about his hoped-for return to international cricket.

"When you don't play any form of international cricket and you've had it for such a long time, anything, absolutely anything. You miss it so much when you're not playing.

"I've been lucky to come here and play the Big Bash, play the IPL or play the Caribbean League. But Test cricket, one-day cricket, playing for your country is very special."

Here's his new Twitter profile picture, from this morning's Daily Telegraph:

Survival is the order of the day for Scotland against the quick men. Rob Taylor blocks out an over of rapid stuff from Pat Cummins - just a leg-bye from that set.

Would Kevin Pietersen give up the Indian Premier League in a bid to reclaim his England place?

"That's what I'm looking at at the moment," he told Fox Sports.

"There will be a change of scenery at board level with the ECB and I've always expressed my desire to play for England again if I get the opportunity. It seems encouraging but I've got a few steps that I've got to climb.

"It just makes perfect sense to explore different things - that's what I'm doing at the moment. I've still got more decisions to make.

"It's the weekend now so nobody will be picking up their phone. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday will be very exciting hopefully."
