    Douglas Dominguez: Someone get me Kohli's wicket, I'm buying it. Get me that and Aussies will be well ahead.

    Rakesh Pradhan: Oh boy it's going to be tough from here. In Dhoni we trust . master finisher needs a big one again...

  2. Ind 59-3published at 9 overs

    Kohli has the instinctive pacing of a master thriller writer - he never throws in the explosive plot twist too early, he's quite content just to keep things ticking over for now. Solid cover drive for a single. Now, we're going to get a look at Yuvraj - has he recovered? I don't think so - he knocks one into the leg side and really hobbles for a single. He's got to either retire, or swing...

    "Yuvraj is looking in a right bad way. It wouldn't be the worst for India if he could latch on to a couple though, get things moving. He's going to have to swing or retire."

  4. Ind 55-3published at 8.2 overs

    It looks like he went over on his ankle, but I think Yuvraj is going to try to continue. He may be dealing exclusively in boundaries from hereon...

    "India have some work to do here. They're looking to pick up their boundaries with risk-free cricket but at some stage they're going to have to target a bowler."

    Ind 55-3published at 8.2 overs

    Yuvraj fiddles one just wide of the slip cordon, and Khawaja can't cut it off on the rope. Good start to the over for India. Now, what's happened here? Yuvraj has done himself a serious mischief here - he knocked one into the leg side and seized up as he set off for a single. He's down and the physio has been summoned with the magic spray...

    Pakistan 67-8 (14.3 overs) v England - target 149

    England's women are remorselessly moving towards the semi-finals - Natalie Sciver has her second wicket, removing Nida Dar who had hung around long enough to score 16, and Georgia Elwiss has grabbed her first.

    Follow the match with our live scorecard.

  8. Ind 50-3 (Kohli 13, Yuvraj 1)published at 8 overs

    Yuvraj Singh is the new man, but there's no doubt who the key is. Virat Kohli is the prize wicket for Australia - can they somehow smoke him out?

    Raina c Nevill b Watson 10 (Ind 49-3)

    Watto strikes again! The bleach-blond assassin digs in a short ball and Raina gloves an attempted pull. Watto whoops with the enthusiasm of a man 20 years younger, and we've got a game on here...

    "Even if India are a bit behind where they'll want to be, there's still plenty of time left. Maybe one thing that could work in their favour is that Australia didn't seem to maximise the later part of their innings."

  12. Ind 45-2 (target 161)published at 7 overs

    Kohli is well aware of his own importance here. With that second wicket down, he shifts down a gear, knocks away a couple of dot balls from new bowler Faulkner and then takes a low-risk single. Raina gets off the mark with a clip off his legs for two, and then bunts one just over cover. The outfield is smoother than George Clooney and the ball races away for four. India are 20 runs behind Australia at this stage...

  13. Ind 37-2published at 6 overs

    Suresh Raina is the new man. If Australia can get Kohli, they'll really fancy this...

    "This could potentially be his last game and Watson looks every bit as pumped up. You can see how much that meant to him. He does bowl that heavy ball, it stayed a bit low and Rohit played a little bit too early. Australia needed that."

    Rohit b Watson 12 (Ind 37-2)

    Watto! In what could be his final international match, the old dog proves he still knows a trick or two. Tight, stump-to-stump line, mixing pace and spins, and when Rohit misses, Watson hits the top of middle. He points both arms to the heavens and roars with delight.

    Pakistan 57-6 (11 overs) v England - target 149

    Another one goes... captain Sana Mir falls to a diving catch by Katherine Brunt off Laura Marsh, who has taken 3-12 from her four overs. Excellent news for any England fans who have a ticket for Delhi on Wednesday.

    "Brilliant isn't it? Kohli just works it into the gap, he waits for the ball to come right under his eyes, at the last minute just opening the face of the bat. It's all timing and touch. It's almost like there's no real effort."

  18. Ind 34-1 (Rohit 11, Kohli 9)published at 5 overs

    Slip in for Kohli - Australia know they've got to get him early. Oh, what timing from Kohli, nothing more than a nudge into the leg side and it zips away for four. That's poor from Hazlewood, too wide, and Kohli cuts it behind square for another four. Three balls and he already looks in princely touch. Ominous from an Australian point of view.

    Bibhash Dash: Know Dhoni said wanted to bat 1st. But right from days of Azhar we've been better at chasing. Kohli a product of that.

    Sharma taps a single. These next few overs could hold the key to this match.
