Hazlewood to Pant, FOUR runs
Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, 1 run
pitched up, 142kph, Rohit thrashes across the line, gets a thick inside edge for one
Hazlewood to Pant, 1 run
shortish, swatted leg side
Hazlewood to Pant, no run
looks to do something funky, nearly holes out reverse-scooping Hazlewood! Came off somewhere near the splice, maybe some glove, and fell short of two fielders in the gully region
Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, 1 leg bye
back of a length, deflected for one off the padding
Last over of the powerplay
end of over 515 runs

Meanwhile, in Indian Football, a week after sacking Igor Stimac, the tiff between the AIFF and the former coach escalated today, with the federation accusing the Croatian of hiding medical details, making unreasonable demands, and outright dishonesty, among other malpractices
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, 1 run
full outside off, dug out into the covers, that's fifty for Rohit! Coming from just 19 balls, the fastest at the tournament so far. And he's scored all but two runs of India's total!
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, FOUR runs
skips down, slices over the keeper! Top-edged but safe... Went almost diametrically in the opposite direction to which Rohit was aiming, but races away
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, no run
dug in, 140kph/87mph and this zips through past the edge with Rohit looking to drive on the up
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, FOUR runs
full, wide and slashed through backward point! Cummins had his sweeper squarer, rather than at third, and Head can't get around to cut it off
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, no run
banged into the deck, 140kph/87mph and Rohit is tucked up looking to work to leg
Here come Rohit, Rishabh and the Australia players. The hibiscus flower mowed into the outfield looking resplendent again. Barely a 10min interruption
Meanwhile, some stats from Sampath Bandarupalli: "Rohit Sharma is the first Indian to hit five sixes inside powerplay in a men's T20I. The six he hit off Pat Cummins was his 200th in T20Is, the first batter to get there."
11am: The rope is being run around, umpires heading out to the middle. Should be on again shortly, I'd say
Here's Ram: "I think the moisture in the pitch with batting first is a good thing for India. Remember, this is a slow surface and the moisture is actually holding this up and aiding run scoring, I believe that will dry up and will only get tougher to bat in the second innings." That is certainly how England found it chasing against South Africa here the other day
10.57am: "Stopped already," says Matt. "Covers being peeled back. Stumps back in." There was a forecast for showers, looks very blustery around the ground. We could have a few of these delays
And here comes the rain! Might be a good moment for Australia... Looks like a heavy shower, as the players go off and the groundstaff come on. Almost as soon as they have got the pitch covered, the weather seems to have blow through
Cummins to Rohit Sharma, SIX runs
first ball goes the journey! More tonkage from India's captain, he's hit this on to the roof of the Johnson Charles stand! It was a length ball outside off, Cummins just looking to get going... instead he's obliterated 100 metres over midwicket
Pat "trick" Cummins replaces Starc
Meanwhile, Matt R has this from the ground: "Slightly ominous dark cloud moving closer. Could be in for a quick shower soon"

IND: 37/1CRR: 9.25
Rishabh Pant1 (6b)
Rohit Sharma35 (13b 2x4 4x6)
Josh Hazlewood 2-0-3-1
Mitchell Starc 2-0-34-0
"Ergh, I'm sick of the rose coloured glasses we view Starc with. He has a lot of highlights, but he has a lot of crucial innings and overs where he is diabolical." Look, Archie, the man's a multiple world/IPL champion across all the different formats. He's a legend of the game (but that was a bad over)
Hazlewood to Pant, no run
metronomic line and length from Hazlewood, defended coming across on off
Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, 1 run
length ball, fourth stump, chopped down to deep third
"Any comments from Australians about leaving Agar out now?" squeals Naqeeb, mischievously
Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, no run
hard length, coming back in, 135kph. Rohit jabs down and thick-edges past his leg stump
Hazlewood to Pant, 1 run
shortish into the body, tucked towards midwicket where there's a misfield from Cummins as he dives to his right
Hazlewood to Pant, no run
back of a length, rising in the channel outside off, 135kph. Pant cross-bats it down towards cover
Hazlewood to Pant, no run
back to top-of-off stylings from Hazlewood, Pant shows it some respect
end of over 329 runs
IND: 35/1CRR: 11.66
Rohit Sharma34 (11b 2x4 4x6)
Rishabh Pant0 (2b)
Mitchell Starc 2-0-34-0
Josh Hazlewood 1-0-1-1
Brutal over, Starc's most expensive in T20Is
Starc to Rohit Sharma, SIX runs
another full toss, top-edged for six more! Starc going around the park. This was angling across and Rohit just threw the plumbing, not too bothered about where it went (which was over deep third on the full)
Starc to Rohit Sharma, 1 wide
goes for the wide yorker again, 142kph. But this one slides outside the tramlines
Starc to Rohit Sharma, no run
wide blockhole, good response. Rohit can't chop down in time
