43.4

Starc to Shami, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Third wicket for Starc! 141kph, Shami swings hard across the line. It's a length ball marginally outside off. Hint of away movement, maybe, and there's the thick outside edge. Another easy grab for Josh Inglis. Shami c Josh Inglis b Starc 6(10) [4s-1]

Starc to Shami, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

43.3

Starc to Shami, no run, 138.6kph, backs away to pat this short of a good length ball straight to backward point

43.2

Starc to Shami, no run, fullish ball around off,

43.1

Starc to Shami, no run, 136.4kph, length ball, the line is too straight, Shami misses the flick to wear it on the pad

Not quite Trent Boult, but Shami and his one-legged defences might worry a few Indian fans given the number of overs remaining in the innings. In between those defensive strokes Shami glanced a length delivery to the fine leg fence with an air of assurance. He is no mug with the bat, but the focus (if India are to get around 250-260) should be on rotating the strike (or rather handing the strike over to SKY) until the 47th over at least.

42.2

Cummins to Shami, no run, 142.3kph says the speedometer but the ball comes slower than Shami expects it to. The batsman is early into his pull and gets an under-edge

42.1

Cummins to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, 121.9kph, cutter from Cummins which he has bowled a lot today. Suryakumar shuffles and works it through mid-wicket

After 42 overs

41.3

Starc to Rahul, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Rahul c Josh Inglis b Starc 66(107) [4s-1]

Starc to Rahul, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Cummins had a brief chat with Starc before the start of this over and if the pictures are anything to go by, the plan was to perhaps try and drag his natural length back a little bit and not concede anything too full to the batters.

Rajarshi: Australia have read the pitch much better than India. Pat is leading the team exceptionally here and with dew factor, barring some resurgence from Indian lower order, safe to say Australia ahead of India in this final.

Starc to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, 136.6kph, Starc goes fuller and that's been eased through the covers

40.3

Zampa to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, 89.8kph, low full toss, Suryakumar Yadav sweeps hard to deep backward square leg

Zampa to Rahul, no run, 91.9kph, in-drifter, Rahul gets forward and pushes to point off the outer half of the bat

Ishan Kishan comes out with a drink and probably a message...

Hazlewood to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, full and straight on middle, clipped gently in between mid-on and short mid-wicket,

A couple of overthrows and a review wasted. Australia were starting to feel itchy and just when one thought that could perhaps be the 'change of momentum' phase for India, Jadeja nicked one to the keeper and offered Hazlewood his first wicket of the day. How crucial will that prove? Only time will tell...

This is brilliant bowling from Hazlewood, just that in-between length on off-stump, he angled it in with the seam pointing away, Jadeja pushed at this with no footwork at all, just seemed to reverse a little again and that was enough to find a healthy edge. Josh Inglis threw it up in delight immedietely and Australia have got another crucial breakthrough. Jadeja c Josh Inglis b Hazlewood 9(22)

Hazlewood to Rahul, 2 runs, Australia a little sloppy in the field here and that's the first time we've had a chance to say that today, was full and tailing into off-stump, again a bit of reverse and Rahul jammed it out towards Maxwell at mid-on, was just a casual under-arm throw back and there was no one backing up
