    There is a huge roar at the conclusion of the anthems, there's definitely a 'big game' feel to the atmosphere at The Oval.

    Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are padded up and wander towards the middle.

    The India fans are certainly making themselves heard as the players come on to the field. It looks like a sell-out at The Oval with the sun even peaking out from behind the clouds. Perfect conditions for cricket.

    It was absolutely heaving on my way to The Oval this morning. A sea of India fans, wrapped in flags and, pleasingly, a lot of young families queuing to get in to the ground. The only downside is I've seen a bloke selling half-and-half scarves. Game's gone.

  7. What happened yesterday?published at 10:14 British Summer Time 9 June 2019

    New Zealand cemented their place at the top of the table with a routine seven-wicket win over Afghanistan.

    Jimmy Neesham took 5-31 and Lockie Ferguson 4-37 as Afghanistan were dismissed for 172, and Kane Williamson anchored the chase with an unbeaten 79.

    And England were back to winning ways with a 106-run thumping over Bangladesh.

    Jason Roy was the star with 153 in England's daunting 386-6, while Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer took three wickets apiece as Bangladesh were bowled out for 280.

    I dunno, if I were Australia, I'd have called up Ashleigh Barty and have her bat at three.

    A cracking win yesterday at Roland Garros.

  9. 'You've got to do the business'published at 10:11 British Summer Time 9 June 2019

    Australia captain Aaron Finch: "I would have batted first too. It might get a little bit slower later on. Either way, in the first 10 overs you've got to look to do the business.

    "We weighed up making chances but we're confident with the way we've been going."

    On Australia's two wins from two games: "In a World Cup - it's a different kind of pressure than playing a series against the same side. It's another good opportunity for the players to impress."

  11. 'We don't want to change anything'published at 10:09 British Summer Time 9 June 2019

    India captain Virat Kohli on naming an unchanged team: "The bowling line-up was really balanced. We don't want to change anything. We won the first game, the team is in good spirits, and we want to come out here and execute the same game plan."

  13. 'Scoreboard pressure is always going to count'published at 10:06 British Summer Time 9 June 2019

    India captain Virat Kohli: "It looks like a really nice wicket. It's nice and hard and dry. It's a used pitch and we think it's going to get lower and slower as the game goes on. Scoreboard pressure is always going to count. The sun is out, it's The Oval - it's a no-brainer to bat first."

  14. Postpublished at 10:05 British Summer Time 9 June 2019

    Aaron Finch says he would have batted first as well. It looks a belter.

    Australia, too, are unchanged. I wonder if they'd have been tempted to bring in Nathan Lyon?

    The cheers are so loud that you can barely here what Virat Kohli is saying.

    They are unchanged, however, from the team that beat South Africa.

    Here we go. Huge cheer for Virat Kohli as he's introduced at the toss.

    Up goes the coin...

    There's a gaggle of photographers taking photos of the captains. In fact, there's a ton of people wandering around on the outfield.

    The bowlers on both sides are going through the motions. Pat Cummins has nearly taken someone's hand off with a ripper past the practice stump.

    There's a hint of green in this pitch, unless my eyes deceive me, but it looks a good batting track from here.
