"Dejected India fans at the SCG feeling their batsmen are throwing away their precious wickets."

Australia are going to sneak through one of those part-time overs - Shane Watson to bowl.

Prayags: Those 30 odd runs by Johnson at end of innings are proving to be decisive

Kudakwashe Chitanga: It's not go big or go home time but we are fast approaching that time. Dhoni needs to erupt soon

Disco Stu: Don't go out on your knees. Have a go, if you're bowled at in the 43rd so be it

Ravichandran Ashwin is a man who can frustrate you with the bat at Test level by hanging around, but can he play a match-winning support act to his captain? India will need 121 runs from 48 balls.

"Steve Smith has had a really good day. He only had two stumps to aim at. It's difficult to see where India go now."

A direct hit from man-of-the-match contender Steve Smith at backward point, and Jadeja is on his way.

The dark destroyer returns to the attack - can India take on Mitchell Johnson? They know they'll still have two overs of part-timers Maxwell or Watson to face at some point - it'll be interesting to see when Clarke turns to them. In the meantime, they've got to get after the front-line bowlers too. The target is down to 121 from 50 balls.

Tattz in Nottingham: Dhoni is the keyholder for a place in the final for India. If he is still there with wickets in hand with 10 overs to go, I would back India. Regardless, hoping for a close tense finish again!

"You've got to go at every bowler now. You've got to look for the boundary option early in the over."

After a couple of overs without a boundary, the India fans have the chance to wave their flags again as Jadeja slashes a four through backward point. Eight from the over, Hazlewood is bowled out, but eight's not enough when the required rate is spiralling towards 14... India need 125 from 54 balls.

"Clarke was going back. It's usually the fielder coming in who takes it - I think it might have been David Warner's catch. but Clarke did get two hands to it."

Hazlewood back for his last over - Dhoni goes for the pull shot, skies the ball over mid-wicket and is dropped by captain Michael Clarke of all people, getting both hands to it. Turning point? David Warner was running in from the boundary, but one of them had to go for it...

"I think Dhoni could show a bit more urgency in terms of trying to look for boundaries. It's very strange. What is he doing? Singles don't count right now."

Scorecard

Dhoni is going to have to put the hammer down at some point - we're approaching "go big, or go home" time, but even against Faulkner, he and Jadeja can only plunder two singles each.

Strap yourselves in for the last 10 overs - India need 136 from 60 balls if they are not to relinquish their grip on the World Cup. In fact, they only need 135 to go through - as if it's a tie, India go through by virtue of a superior record in the group stage.

Antoine V: Sad to see India bowing out without a real fight.

Louis Strong: Pretty faultless performance from the Aussies. Have a scooner fellas. Just don't play like this in summer please.

Kevin Pietersen

"It's very important what Dhoni's doing here, rotating the strike. He's not letting Mitchell Starc settle into facing either the left-hander or the right-hander."

Leg byes keep the scoreboard ticking, and allow India to rotate their left-hand/right-hand combination, but they won't keep you in contention when you need more than 12 an over... Starc strays down the leg side and is helped away for four by Jadeja, that's only the second four he's conceded today. Starc has 1-23 from seven - India need 137 from 66 balls.

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"Rahane is the first wicket India have lost in the batting powerplay in the tournament. They had scored 235 runs off 32 overs in the batting powerplay before that wicket."
