15th over (57-1): Mongia's frustration almost costs him when he attempts to flay a wide one from Bracken but almost edges behind. He can count himself very lucky next ball when the seamer produces a beauty which kisses the off-stump - but the bails stay on!
14th over (57-1): Johnson, who looked impressive against England, replaces McGrath (6-1-12-1) and the rookie is right on target immediately. The runs have dried up somewhat since the expensive Lee came off.
13th over (55-1): Mongia nearly spoons a catch off a slower Bracken delivery. As England found against Bravo yesterday, they can cause all sorts of problems.
12th over (54-1): Left-hander Mongia is off to a confident start, pulling a short McGrath delivery with real authority. McGrath hits back by almost finding the outside edge. "Pigeon" is working himself back to his best, which is very bad news for England.12th over (54-1): Left-hander Mongia is off to a confident start, pulling a short McGrath delivery with real authority.

11th over (50-1): Johnson makes a hash of trying to field a heave from Sehwag on the long-leg boundary to gift the batsman four, which brings up 50 for the Aussies.11th over (50-1): Johnson makes a hash of trying to field a heave from Sehwag on the long-leg boundary to gift the batsman four, which brings up 50 for the Aussies.
10th over: WICKET India 46-1 (Tendulkar c Gilchrist by McGrath 10) And McGrath finally gets the wicket he richly deserves, inducing the edge from Tendulkar to earn the Aussies a breakthrough. That was the 400th dismissal Gilchrist has played a hand in in ODIs.10th over: WICKET India 46-1 (Tendulkar c Gilchrist by McGrath 10) And McGrath finally gets the wicket he richly deserves, inducing the edge from Tendulkar to earn the Aussies a breakthrough.

8th over (38-0): McGrath is proving miserly and causing problems even for the great Tendulkar with his nagging line and length.8th over (38-0): McGrath is proving miserly and causing problems even for the great Tendulkar with his nagging line and length.
7th over (36-0): Too much excitement for Ponting, who replaces his speedster with Bracken. Sehwag takes an immediate liking to his pace, pulling out a cracking straight drive for his fourth boundary to move to 25. Bracken responds with a bouncer which troubles Tendulkar but this is a good pitch and the outfield is fast so a big score is on the cards.7th over (36-0): Too much excitement for Ponting, who replaces his speedster with Bracken.

He has another scare when Lee comprehensively beats him with a delivery which only just misses off-stump.

5th over: Sehwag gets an inside edge and is fortunate when it flies past leg-stump for four down to fine-leg. The next delivery, a half-volley no-ball, is driven beautifully through extra-cover for his third boundary.

4th over (13-0): McGrath is just the type of bowler to trouble the dashing Sehwag and a nibble outside off-stump almoes does for the batsman. Clarke falls over fielding at extra-cover and the Indian fans roar in mirth.

2nd over (6-0): A quiet first over - not in terms of the crowd - from McGrath, who conceded just the single to Sehwag. Even that felt like it was the winning run in a World Cup final such was the crescendo.2nd over (6-0): A quiet first over - not in terms of the crowd - from McGrath, who conceded just the single to Sehwag.

1st over (5-): Sehwag throws the bat at the first delivery and it flies over gully for two. He is beaten next ball before square-driving for three. McGrath dives brilliantly to prevent the boundary. Everything is being greeted with a near-hysterical reaction from a lively crowd.

Australia keep the same side which beat England as they look to go beyond the semis for the first time in the tournament's history.
