Smith 105 & Finch 81 for Australia
Australia face NZ in Melbourne on Sunday
Many thanks, James - the role of "finisher" is not one to be borne lightly... It's just what Australia would have wanted to be able to whistle through a few overs of Faulkner and Maxwell - clearly the lesser bowlers of their attack - while India regroup, before unleashing their fast men. Maxwell is milked for six singles - the required rate is up above eight and a half.
Ilyas Najib: The writing is on the wall for India now, but if anyone can win if from here, it is the Indians.
Jared Maobe: The best team of #CWC15, India is headed to defeat, to the best team of knockout phase Australia.
James Faulkner continues. Rahane pinches a couple of twos to deep midwicket to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
Time to hand you back to Mark Mitchener to take you through to the conclusion.

"The Indian fans in the crowd were incredible earlier. I never thought I'd see Australia play an away game at the SCG."
Jonathan Agnew adds: "It's normally like that when England play in Barbados, with more away fans than locals. I think the Barmies have saved their money for that tour rather than this one, and I think they're right to do so."
MS Dhoni may be the finisher but India are an awful long way from the finish line here. He opens his account with a single into the covers.

"Dhoni is a man who just seems ice cool and unfazed by anything. The crowd are a bit quiet now because predominantly, it's Indian."

"329 looks a long way away - Raina's a dangerous player, he was trying to run it down to third man which is very much a one-day shot. You can't help but think think is the partnership now to get India close - MS Dhoni is very much the finisher."

BBC Test Match Special statistician
"Australia have taken the most wickets between overs 11 and 20 in the tournament: 13 at 25.63. New Zealand are second with 12 at 31.41."
India need to rebuild a platform here, as Glenn Maxwell tries to scoot through a few cheap overs for Australia. The boundary rope is proving hard to find at the moment for India, but Raina is off the mark with a punch into the covers.

"There were some animated words between the umpire and Mitchell Starc at the end of that over. Hopefully nothing untoward. If they keep their discipline, you'd think Australia should do it from here."

"India fans dejected, already, amidst a silent SCG. Difficult to win now."
A strangled appeal as Ajinkya Rahane has a big swish across the line at a rising lifter from Mitchell Starc. Plenty of chat out in the middle as Starc throws the ball at the stumps and Rahane blocks it with his pads, then Starc is wided twice in succession as a little bit of reverse swing begins to become apparent. Raina still waiting to get off the mark.

"Johnson gave Rohit the Andy Roberts treatment there. Slower short ball, pulled for four. Next ball, speed of light, leg bail removed. Game over?"
Image source, Getty ImagesTime for the Big Show. Glenn Maxwell is into the attack. Michael Clarke will need to get 20 overs out of part-timers and all-rounders, so this will be a key facet of the game, and Maxy could have an important role to play. He begins well, conceding just a single from his first over.
Kevin Pietersen
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"Top of the stumps, I think only one bail came out. You can see how much it means to Mitchell Johnson, he ran past the batsman to the keeper and leapt in the air. If there's a flaw in Suresh Raina's batting, you know he's going to be targeted by the short ball like we used to do with him."

Got him! Mitchell Johnson is turning this match in Australia's favour. Rohit pumps him for a big six over cow corner. Bad move. You really don't want to make Mitch angry when he's in this mood. He cleans him up next ball with an absolute ripper, cross-seam, nipping back, rattling the top of the timbers. He goes absolutely bananas in celebration.
