So much rests on captain MS Dhoni now. Faulkner into his seventh over, but India can only add four singles to the score. They need 146 from 12 overs to stay in the tournament, with the required rate up above 12.

"When are India are up, it's carnival atmosphere. When they are down, it's a more traditional affair. That is exactly what's happening now. There are no flags, now whistles, no drums. The Aussies wait to cheer their next step on the road to the final."

"Mitchell Starc really is bowling brilliantly at this World Cup. He's bowling fast, he's getting the new ball to swing, and he's getting the old ball to reverse. It's quite an intimidating prospect."

Left-hander Ravindra Jadeja is the new batsman, Starc fires one at his feet, it hits the pad and rebounds to Aaron Finch who's donned a helmet to stand at short leg and he's nearly run out first ball as Finch throws down the stumps. A single brings Dhoni on strike, but a leg glance is straight to the man at short fine leg. An excellent powerplay over - two runs, one wicket. 150 needed from 78 balls.

Niall McCaughan: Superb review there from Australia, that's why and how technology should be used in sport.

Manny Singh Grewal: Wow, that just sums up India's batting today.

"You can clearly see that Indian fans outnumber Australian fans, because there's quite a bit of stillness and calmness in the crowd now."

There's a little flicker on the snickometer. What does third umpire Mr Erasmus say? The man from South Africa says... out!

"If there is anything there, it will be very faint. Backward point was adamant there was an edge."

Australia rotate their trio of left-arm seamers - turning back to Mitchell Starc, who's been their star bowler at this tournament. Rahane gets a hint of a faint edge to the keeper, Haddin is sure there was a touch, and the Aussies decide to use their (unused) decision review...

"Dhoni's getting a little tickle on here. We're starting to see a bit more energy in his shots. This could be a very interesting five or ten minutes."

Watson off, Faulkner on as the powerplay is signalled, Dhoni carefully steers a single to the cover sweeper, and Rahane flicks one to short fine leg. Dhoni executes a well-placed square cut for four, and a single means this stand is now worth 68. The target is 152 from 84 balls.

While it won't rain, the fact that India are about 50 behind on the Duckworth-Lewis par score gives an indication that Australia are still on top. There have already been tears from Indian fans. But while there's life, there's hope?

"In the IPL, MS Dhoni has a knack of taking his team deeper, letting the rate get to 12 or 13 runs per over and then taking his side home. But it would be a good effort if he can do it on this stage at the SCG, against what Australia are going to throw at him."

Clarke is standing as a wide slip for Johnson, while there are some grim faces in the India dressing-room area. Just three singles and a well-run two taken as Dhoni changes his mind about taking Johnson on with a big slog, and with 159 needed from 15 overs (90 balls), it's batting powerplay o'clock...

Nigel, Leeds: Opinion in the office this morning is India need to be within about 100 runs with 10 left to make this a contest.

We have a change of bails between overs. Perhaps these new flashing bails run out of battery as easily as modern smartphones do?

Australia respond by putting fine leg back, opening up the bouncer option for Watson - Rahane gives him the charge again but can't connect. The right-hander has a big grin on his face as captain Dhoni comes down for a friendly word. Rahane executes a perfect Mahela Jayawardene-style tickle to third man for two, then skies a pull shot towards long leg... and again it falls safely, reaching Hazlewood on the bounce, to the frustration of captain Clarke.

Rakesh Pradhan: Aussie fifth and sixth bowlers are going to have to go. India desperately need some rope clearance shenanigans.

Peter Archer: NZ won from similar position, four down when Anderson & Elliott came together. India can still do it.

Rahane comes down the wicket and smacks Watson for four over the top to bring up the fifty stand.

"Dhoni is a guy whose mind is very difficult to read. You never know what he's thinking or what he's going to do, and that's what makes him so special."

Dhoni has to defend a short ball from the fiery Johnson, who now has 2-36 from seven overs. Meanwhile, Michael Vaughan on TMS is disappointed the SCG DJ hasn't yet played "Sweet Caroline", as Dhoni takes advantage of a drinks break to leave the field, presumably for a comfort break.

India need 172 from 17 overs - the required rate is 10.11.
