5.40pm Back for the chase, not long from now. KL Rahul has the wicketkeeping pads on. That's an interesting update. India will look for quick wickets, and I also think scoring becomes a bit tougher on this pitch once the ball softens a bit. Lots to play for just yet

We're at the start of a new decade, but the ISL remains as dramatic as ever, with mini-brawls, sackings, fiery tweets and of course, a certain player from Bengaluru FC doing what he does best.

5.15pm A decent start followed by a middle-overs collapse before a brief rescue act by the lower order. Dhawan top-scored with 74 but India were all out for 255 in 49.1 overs. Starc picked up 3 for 56, and bowled eight yorkers in the game. He has never bowled that many in an ODI, Bharath tells me. Starc reckons the dew may make the ball come easier onto the bat in the second innings. We will be back with the chase soon, stay tuned.

Richardson to Mohammed Shami, OUT, length ball at the stumps, backs away and looks to smash across, gets a top edge that goes high and behind the stumps, Carey positions himself under it as it comes spiralling down, the ball pops out of his gloves but he does well to cling to the rebound, between his chin/neck and the glove

Mohammed Shami c †Carey b Richardson 10 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

There is a kite on the ground and Shami hands it over to the umpire. Looks like the thread has got entangled in one of the Spidercam wires
