Glenn Maxwell comes back into the attack and goes for his customary three singles.

We are seeing some close-up shots of the outfield and there is a lot of dew, which backs up my colleague Matthew's hot take.

My hot take is that dew is going to give teams chasing a huge advantage in the World Cup. Just soak the outfield before and during the first innings too so it’s even for both teams.

The required run-rate is below four for probably the first time in this game. It was at 119 that the wheels came off for Australia.

Pat Cummins has bowled one of biggest wides I've ever seen attempting a slower ball legcutter. It wasn't even on the strip.

Cummins then follows it up with a slower-ball bouncer that is called a no-ball, resulting in a free hit that Virat Kohli clatters to the boundary.

A welcome 11 runs for India from that rather scrappy over.

And here is the half-century for KL Rahul with a gentle push into the off side.

Rahul raises his bat as the crowd goes wild. They have been quiet for much of this innings but they are sensing their side are setting the platform for victory.

Five runs from Adam Zampa's latest over brings up the 100 partnership. A brilliant recovery effort from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.

Penny for Mitchell Marsh's thoughts right now.

Virat Kohli has hit more explosive half-centuries but in the context of this game this latest knock could be a match-winner.

His pull towards square leg could have brought four but for some fine fielding by Cameron Green by the rope, but the two is enough for Kohli to reach 50 regardless.

Thanks, Mike.

Is it too generous to call this a low-scoring thriller?

It's low scoring that's for sure.

We reach the half-way mark, as Rahul and Kohli nurdle five more runs off Zampa.

No boundaries for seven overs now. Will India accelerate accelerate in the second half of the innings? Here's Tom Mallows to find out.

It is nice to have a game with a bit of tension. Every wicket, every ball and every dot means something.

A pair of singles off the bowling of Hazlewood - the partnership is now worth 90, it's been a solid rebuilding job from the depths of 2-3.

The problem for Adam Zampa is that Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are very good players of spin, so it may be down to the seamers to get Australia back into this game.

Australia need to believe and just stay in this contest. Two quick wickets here and they are right back in it.

Zampa returns, changing ends to replace Mitchell Starc.

Rahul and Kohli work three singles - the latter is now on 44, one run ahead of his partner.

The pair have been in near lockstep with their scores for a while now, neither inclined to accelerate particularly.

India's worm is about to overtake Australia's, which was stunted by the cluster of wickets during the middle of their innings.

Australia bring back Josh Hazlewood, both the strike bowlers are now back in the attack - I doubt that would have been the middle overs plan at the beginning of the match.

Five singles from the over, Kohli timing a nice drive but finding the fielder. We've had eight fours in the innings, three of them coming in one Adam Zampa over.

Still Starc - Rahul takes a single into the covers, Kohli has one through square, before the Australian seamer delivers four consecutive dots.

Australia desperately need to break this partnership but there's not much sign of it happening.

Kohli and Rahul milk the runs from Zampa, who fails to deliver a single dot ball in the over.

India have scored 53 off the last 10, almost twice what they scored in the opening 10.

There is no movement whatsoever in the air for Mitchell Starc.
