- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 classic wristspinner's dismissal! Full ball around off. Turning away and Warner tries to drill it past Kuldeep. Instead, ends up hitting a toe-ended shot to the bowler himself, and Kuldeep moves to his right to grab it. Kuldeep then kisses the ball in delight and looks upwards. Warner looks at the pitch as if to suggest he scuffed the shot like a poor golf swing. 74/22.2 edged and taken! Bumrah strikes early, Kohli with the tumbling catch! No need to worry about there only being one man in the cordon when he's able to swallow those. Tentative prod from Marsh and a thick edge, needed the dive from Kohli, going low to his left. Chepauk, however full it is, bursts into life to celebrate India's first wicket at this World Cup 5/127.1 lapse in concentration? Turning just enough to beat the edge and knock off stump back. Smith just nods his head in disappointment. Length ball landing around middle. Smith tried to fend from middle and off, but the ball did enough to hit the outer-half of off stump. Another Australia batter out after getting well set 110/329.2 appeal, given caught behind, but Marnus reviews! Full ball just outside off. Marnus gets low for a sweep. Misses the shot as the ball straightens after pitching, and the ball has taken a feather nick to KL Rahul. Review wasted, and Rahul will be delighted holding onto that. Little bit quicker from Jadeja - 97kph. Drinks again. 119/435.5 timbeeeeeeeer! Maxwell loses his leg stump! Big spin from Kuldeep and he's chopped in half trying to play off the back foot. Zipped through on the stumps, grips the pitch and veers back sharply to decapitate leg, plucked from the ground as Maxwell flailed across the line. Is that 220 out of the water? 140/629.4 slow finger of death from Kettleborough! Full ball landing around middle. Turning towards leg with Carey pressing forward to defend. Hits his front leg, and the umpire swiftly says out. Carey gets in touch with Maxwell for a potential DRS review but he's been sent back. Duck! 119/536.2 gottim, Ashwin comes to the Chepauk party! Green attempts to cut a short, wide one but picks out backward point! Two in four balls and Australia are spinning - literally - towards disaster. Not the best ball Ashwin has bowled today by any stretch, maybe stopped in the pitch a touch. Green slapped it straight to a gleeful Pandya 140/742.2 bonked down the ground, well held! Cummins knows he needs more runs to defend here, and attempts to smear Bumrah over long-on. Clears the front leg but doesn't get anywhere near timing it. Iyer is the man out and he races in before diving forward to take a good catch 165/849.3 short with pace off, Starc holes out! Superbly held on the run by Iyer coming in from deep backward square, and Australia have been bowled out just short of 200. Slower bumper does the job for Siraj, whose first wicket of the day ends Australia's effort with the bat. Decent runs from Starc, but is it enough for Australia to mount a defence? 199/1048.2 full and swiped... straight to mid-off! Pace on and Zampa just chips it to Kohli on the edge of the ring. Good idea but not well executed, unable to get under the ball and it ends up being a simple catch (although Kohli makes a bit of a meal of it, collapsing on to his front as he clutched on) 189/9Extras12 (lb 6, w 6)TOTAL199 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 4.02)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Mitchell Marsh, 2.2 ov), 2-74 (David Warner, 16.3 ov), 3-110 (Steven Smith, 27.1 ov), 4-119 (Marnus Labuschagne, 29.2 ov), 5-119 (Alex Carey, 29.4 ov), 6-140 (Glenn Maxwell, 35.5 ov), 7-140 (Cameron Green, 36.2 ov), 8-165 (Pat Cummins, 42.2 ov), 9-189 (Adam Zampa, 48.2 ov), 10-199 (Mitchell Starc, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 hit him on the front leg - and the umpire raises the finger! Rohit reviews. This was a full ball that originated just outside off but came back in sharply. Rohit tried to defend but the ball did too much, and he's been caught in front of off. "Umpire's call" on the stumps, clipping top of leg, so Rohit is also gone for a duck! 2/20.4 loose shot, and a golden duck for Kishan! Full ball outside off. Swinging away further. Kishan throws his hands at this and gets a thick edge to the slip cordon. Australia had two slip fielders and it went to first slip Cam Green. That's 50 WC wickets for Starc 2/137.4 dropped on 12, taken at 85... and in between Kohli has done his job! He falls attempting the pull. Short of length ball angling in. Kohli with a decent connection in front of square, but straight to midwicket. Sharp catch taken from near his face by Marnus. A monster knock given the circumstances. Replays confirm it was a cross-seamed delivery 167/41.6 Oh My God. Carnage in Chennai. Good length ball outside off stump. Iyer casually drives away from his body, again throwing his hands at this delivery, and it's been struck straight to Warner at short cover. 2/3Extras8 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL201/4 (41.2 Overs, RR: 4.86)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Ishan Kishan, 0.4 ov), 2-2 (Rohit Sharma, 1.3 ov), 3-2 (Shreyas Iyer, 1.6 ov), 4-167 (Virat Kohli, 37.4 ov)
