Hello! Now he's in the mood.
Travis Head launches Jadeja 10 rows back and he's got one thing on his mind now.
Win.

Isn't that a strange sensation?

Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialWhat an innings!
What a player he's become in the past few years, but to get a century in a World Cup, against India in India, is very special.

Special. Very special.
Having been at the other end, watching his side slip to 47-3 in a World Cup final, Travis Head reaches a century from 95 balls.
He soaks in the celebrations momentarily, but now it's back to work. What a knock.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialTravis Head is so hard to captain against because he always finds the boundary. He's always thinking boundary.

Here we go!
Back-to-back fours from Travis Head takes him to 97.
The first is a beautifully timed skip and lofted drive, the second more of an agricultural heave. Each run silences the crowd a little more.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialWhere do you rank this if Australia get over the line, Aggers?
I would say very highly. Sri Lanka in 1996 was very special but this would be right up there, to win against this India side.

More singles.
Glenn Maxwell is next in. He looks very relaxed.
The crowd, much less so.

There's barely time to think between overs, as Kuldeep and Jadeja whizz through.
As they have been since the very beginning of this partnership, Head and Labuschagne are more than happy to bide their time.

Cheers, Sam.
Not sure this was in the script for India fans.

Target 241
Good over from Jasprit Bumrah, just two from it but India need wickets. The players know it, the fans know it - the atmosphere around the ground could hardly be more different to the first half hour of this match.
To take you through the rest of this game and see the new world champions crowned, it is over to Ffion Wynne.

Target 241
The required rate is now little more than 3.5 an over for Australia now. They're cruising.
What have India got left to try and claw their way back into this final?

Target 241
Travis Head pours salt into the India wounds by clubbing the last ball of the over to deep backward square for four.
That's 14 from Jasprit Bumrah's over. India need something - anything - quickly because this game is in danger of getting away from them.

Aus 158-3
Close - but not close enough.
Very full, impact in line... but it's umpire's call.
It was hitting a healthy chunk of leg stump but not enough for three reds. Marnus Labuschagne survives.
