    These two are probably India's best batters now. It will call for some old-fashioned, solid batting.

    Having played against Virat Kohli a few times, you know very quickly whether he's on it. It's good for Australia they have got him out there early and facing Mitchell Starc. But if Kohli's having a day out, he's pretty difficult to stop.

    In marches Virat Kohli. Ever heard of him?

    He sees out the final two balls of Starc's over.

    A huge drive and Mitchell Starc gets the ball to swing through the air. A good hold by Cameron Green. A huge start for Australia. Just what they needed.

    Kishan c Green b Starc 0 (Ind 2-1)

    Kishan goes in the first over! Game on!

    Bit of away swing from Mitchell Starc and Kishan throws his bat at it. The ball takes the edge goes straight into the hands of Cameron Green at first slip, clenching his teeth as the ball flew to him.

    Kishan departs for a golden duck. He'd been brought on strike after Rohit ran a leg-bye from Starc's third legitimate delivery, after he bowled a wide first up.

    Thanks Tom.

    The teams are back out on the field. India, without Shubman Gill who has contracted dengue fever, fielding captain Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan at the top of the order.

    Mitchell Starc will open the bowling for Australia.

    As the India reply edges ever closer it is time for me to take a break.

    I will leave you in the safe hands of Mike Peter.

    Australia had to take risks to try and get up to a competitive score but India were ruthless in the field, holding on to pretty much everything that came their way.

    There were only two sixes hit in the entire innings and they came from the bat of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.

    Australia never really recovered from that flurry of wickets and found themselves in a deep hole when Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green fell in successive overs to leave them reeling on 140-7.

    David Warner and Steve Smith built up a slow and steady partnership, but Warner's dismissal sparked something of a collapse as Australia lost four wickets for 45 runs.

    Check out Ravindra Jadeja's delivery to bowl Smith. An absolute beauty.

    India were on it from the off, with Virat Kohli taking a smart catch at slip to remove opener Mitchell Marsh for a five-ball duck.

    I'd want to see India come out and bat normally. You attack the powerplay as you normally would. Then depending on those first ten overs you know whether you can attack or crawl over the line.

    Well that was a bit of a slog from Australia, admittedly on a tough-looking pitch against three classy India spinners.

    They wanted to play it safe in the early overs with a view of accelerating late on, but they lost wickets at key moments and were never able to gain any momentum.

    India were also razor sharp in the field and never gave he batters room to breathe.

    Looks like he took a bit of pace off. Which would explain why it went almost straight up. If you misjudge the pace of a ball when you're that far through your swing then the bat is almost facing up.

    Starc c Shreyas b Siraj 28 (Aus 199)

    Australia are bowled out for under 200! Andy Zaltman will be pleased his stat is now in the record books.

    Mitchell Starc clubbed a straight drive down the ground for four to nudge Australia up to 199 - but they go no further.

    A slower ball from Mohammed Siraj does for Starc as he picks out Shreyas Iyer at deep square leg,

    Australia all out for 199.

    Andy Zaltzman has been in touch. This could be the first time a team bat all their overs and don't reach 200 since Kenya v Canada in 2011. The last time Australia batted their full overs without reaching 200 was in 1979, when they made 159-9 off 60 overs against England.

    Number 11 Josh Hazlewood gets single off his first ball before Mitchell Starc gets a fortunate four with a mistimed slog that goes through fine leg.

    Starc then pinches a single to make sure he has strike for the start of the final over.

    This is a good chance for Hardik Pandya to salvage something in terms of his figures. It's moments like that makes you wonder why Mitchell Starc took the first run available. He had to be a little bit more selfish, he might not bat again and have his team bowled out.

    In the air and out.

    Easy as you like for India as Adam Zampa chips the ball straight to Virat Kohli at mid-off.

    Australia nine down at and risk of not seeing out the full 50.
