That's it from here. The warm-up games between England and Pakistan and Afghansitan and Bangladesh will start soon. Scotland should beat West Indies, check that out too. Revel in the cricketing carnival here on ESPNcricinfo. Cheers.

Prithvi : "Any reason why Axar didn't bowl at all? I am sure he will be in the XI and new to Australia. Shouldn't he get some practice too?" Not sure, maybe he'll be on in the next game.

king: "Aswin's six was the difference..."

Rohit Sharma: We batted well, towards the end we could have added 10-15 more. We wanted to stay till the end, which Surya did. It was a good pitch where you could trust the bounce which our batters did. You have to be smart while playing with big boundaries. Getting them is important but getting singles and twos to accumulate 8-9 in an over is just as key. We have focused on that since Perth. We need to improve at the death. We need to change lengths and tactics. Sometimes hitting the deck is a good option. Overall, it was a good game. It was a good pitch and their batting put pressure on us. Bowling Shami at the death was always the plan and you saw what he did.

Aaron Finch: We haven't capitalised in the chase in the last 3-4 overs. The bowling was good, was happy with the bat too and get a few runs. Richardson was fantastic, we have great depth in the fast bowling department. Zampa and Agar were great too. Can't wait for the New Zealand game. There will be some nerves but should be exciting.

5:30pm: That was a roller-coaster of a warm up. The chase started much according to norms. Marsh went big, Finch got going. He found form and made 79. India started with five bowlers in five overs. Ashwin was economical but didn't find wickets. They plowed through to the end and needed 29 off 18. Arshdeep was going well until an edge turned a 9-run over to a a 13-run-over. Shami came in at the end like a royal-rumble final entry and and turned into a hero by nailing yorkers. The brilliant catch from Kohli is worth a mention too.

Niraj Kheria: "Australia losing last 6 wickets for 9 runs"
