2.21pm And what a performance this was. It's now the second-highest team total of the 2019 World Cup. But Australia won't give up just yet, they showed us in Mohali in March that they can take down India's big scores, and the pitch, too, hasn't behaved as badly as it looked in the morning. Big props to Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli for setting the base, and after that India's last three batsmen - Pandya, Dhoni and Rahul - added 86 runs off 44 deliveries. That's what made the difference between a 330-score and a 350-one. We'll be back super soon with the chase. Don't forget to enjoy our Match Day show on the homepage.
Dhawan: Played it smartly and calmly (laughs). I like playing here at The Oval, and I love ICC tournaments. We're in a great position now. Bouncy wickets suit my game. I feel it's enough runs on the board. Our experience and pace will do well."
amit: "Before saying that pitch is flat, and Australia can chase it; mind it that India have got kulcha and the way some of the deliveries of Maxwell spun, I won't even give Aussie a remote chance. "
Ali Yasir: "Its hard to nitpick an innings of 82 of 77 but I feel Kohli could have done better and tried to get India closer to 370. The way scores are being chased in England off late, at 350 the opposition hasn't been batted out of the game."
Sayantan Bardha: "Since Dhawan's dismissal, Kohli has scored 42(34) while Hardik,MSD and Rahul has scored 86(44).The gap in SR is huge."
Yasein Shamsulh: "Bat dominating the ball. Pitch looks a belter here. Australia can definitely chase this but the pressure might get the most of them. Imma have to pick India to win this especially after how Australia batted against the Windies."
Hus Silverado: "MS gets rid of MS with a MSmerizing catch !!!"
