Faulkner doing a steady job without making much of an impact with the ball, having given away 29 runs from seven overs. Two singles from the 33rd over as Kohli and Rohit both looking well set for a big score.

Marsh comes back as Australia continue to rotate their bowlers. He bowls a short wide delivery to Kohli, who rocks back and cuts it over point for a four followed by a single on the leg side. Marsh has struggled to keep the runs down, having given 36 runs in six overs.

Paris is back as the Australia decide to keep Faulkner's three overs for the death.

Three singles from the first three balls before Rohit smashes it powerfully back over the bowler's head for a four to take his score to 97. A single from the last ball helps him retain the strike and his score two runs away from a century.

India are 180 for one in 35 overs, scoring at over five runs per over and looking good for a score well in excess of 300, maybe 325!

Rohit drives the third ball from Marsh to sweeper cover for a single to take his score to 99. Kohli promptly takes a single to bring his partner back on strike, who gets behind a short ball and defends it watchfully and blocks the last ball to end a good over from Marsh.
