Geoff Lemon
BBC Test Match Special commentatorIf Australia are to have any chance they need Adam Zampa to take two or three wickets and match what the India spinners did.
Ind 69-3published at 18 overs
Finally, here's Adam Zampa, sporting a pair of shades with orange-y lenses. Maybe he got some chlorine in his eyes as well.
Zampa may be more of a wicket thread but he isn't as tight as Glenn Maxwell, and KL Rahul's eyes light up. He hits three fours off the over, working the ball fine and past third, before driving hard through the covers.

Australia have to bowl India out to win this match. It doesn't matter how they do it.
Ind 56-3published at 17 overs
Australia re-introduce Mitchell Starc after India enjoyed a breakthrough against Cameron Green in the previous over at this end.
Four runs from the over, with India remaining watchful against the Australian strike bowler.

Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialWhat those three quick wickets will do is push this match past the 40th over.
During the interval India probably thought they could get these runs easily and give themselves a little run-rate boost.
But those early wickets have put a little pause on the game.
Ind 52-3published at 16 overs
Maybe I could train an AI to write variations of "India take a few runs off the bowling of Glenn Maxwell", then take every other over off.
Three from this one, and India are past the fifty mark.
Ind 49-3published at 15 overs
Hello, hello! Bit of impetus from Virat Kohli as he reels off consecutive fours.
Cameron Green delivers four dot balls, but errs in his length and the India legend hits him for near identical whipped fours through mid-wicket.
Kohli moves to 31. Could this drop prove decisive?

Carlos Brathwaite
Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt is always said you cannot judge a pitch until both teams have batted on it. So after watching these first few India overs I have a lot more sympathy for the Australia batters. It looks a real minefield.

Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentatorThe India crowd are so quiet.
They are normally more exuberant, but this is a tense old game.
Ind 41-3published at 14 overs
India seem happy enough at the moment to milk occasional singles - three on this occasion - off Glenn Maxwell, who surely represents the sixth bowler in this Australian line-up.
That said, no sign yet of the fifth bowler - is Adam Zampa still suffering from his swimming pool injury?

BBC Test Match Special commentatorThat really kept low. KL Rahul could have chopped on there.
That's the problem for India, it is a really tricky surface.
Ind 38-3published at 13 overs
Cameron Green has the ball in his hand for the first time in this innings as he replaces KL Rahul.
The batting pair take three singles before Green scuds through a delivery that keeps low, surprising KL Rahul. The next ball beats the bat - a half-appeal from the bowler but nothing from behind the stumps.
Ind 35-3published at 12 overs
An exchange of singles for the Indian batters off Maxwell.
Are India going to eek their way all the way to their target? The required run-rate is still just 4.34 per over.

Carlos Brathwaite
Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialI think the Netherlands have a win in them this tournament and it would do a lot for Dutch cricket if they do that.
You will not want to play them in one of your final group games and they have still not won and you need to win to qualify or improve net run-rate.
Ind 33-3published at 11 overs
Four for Kohli, just the third boundary of the innings - he finds the gap in Cummins' field near point.

Carlos Brathwaite
Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThis game is really nicely poised.
At the halfway stage with India needing 200 to win it looked like they would walk home like New Zealand did against England, but it has not turned out that way.
Australia needed early wickets and they did just that.
Ind 27-3published at 10 overs
Australia introduce spin for the first time in this match, with Glenn Maxwell taking the ball for the final over of the powerplay.
Kohli takes a single to mid-wicket, the only run of the over.

In case you wandered off for a bit, here's how India's three wickets fell in the first two overs of the innings.
Ind 26-3published at 9 overs
Image source, Getty ImagesIndia's batters run five singles off the bowling of Cummins. The green shoots of recovery? Very small ones, perhaps - they do have plenty of time to reach their target of 200, there's time to set a platform and calm some nerves.
