After 6 overs

AUS 42-2

5.6

Shami to Smith, no run, oh this keeps a tad low and Smith just manages to get his bat down in time

5.5

Shami to Smith, no run, good length delivery just outside off stump, Smith defends off the back foot

The crowd are getting behind the Indian bowlers for every delivery here. Barring the few moments of silence when Australia hit a boundary, it's been raucous out there.

5.4

Shami to Head, 1 run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Head pushes it to mid-on, lovely diving save to the right from Siraj

5.3

Shami to Head, no run, oh very tentative in his defence is Travis Head now to Shami as the bowler targets the stumps. He's opening up the batter. If it moves away, the edge could be in play

5.2

Shami to Head, no run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Head defends

5.1

Shami to Head, no run, appeal for LBW. Umpire Richard Kettleborough says no. Could be missing leg and that's exactly what KL was suggesting. Short of a length delivery angled in, Head looks to hop and defend, escapes because it wasn't straight enough

STAT: 17th dismissal behind the wicket for KL Rahul - the most by an Indian wicketkeeper in a World Cup surpassing 16 by his coach Rahul Dravid in the 2003 edition.

The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing in Ahmedabad. Head is now the key player for Australia in the powerplay as they will look to him to get some boundaries going against the hard new ball.

Good observation by DK on air: Shami with a semi-new ball bowling first-change when the ball swings less is more potent as he is basically a seam bowler who gets swing. Has more control then. Now he is trying too hard to get wickets and that's why he has not looked as threatening as he has been, despite the wicket.

Shami's WC numbers unbelievable, has upped his wicket-taking ability: Zaheer Khan
