    Starc to Umesh Yadav
    full and straight and Umesh is castled, too good for a No. 11. Australia win by 95 runs and go through to the World Cup final, India, the defending champions, lose their title as well as an 11-match unbeaten run
    46.4

    Starc to Umesh Yadav
    46.3
    0
    Starc to Umesh Yadav
    short and wide this time, Umesh stays clear
    46.2
    0
    Starc to Umesh Yadav
    yow, that has clanged Umesh on the helmet grill. No mercy from the Australians, Starc banged it in, rising with lethal intent, deflected off the glove and into his chin
    46.1
    1
    Starc to Shami
    around the wicket, pitched up outside off, edged and it bobbles between keeper and slip, third man cleans up
    45.6
    0
    Faulkner to Umesh Yadav
    full, too full and Umesh blocks it steadfastly on the front foot
    45.5
    W
    Faulkner to Sharma
    another, Faulkner hits the stumps again! Two in two, India's time is almost up. Popped it on a length, slightly wobbly medium pace and Mohit played it like a stick of Kryptonite
    45.4
    W
    Faulkner to Ashwin
    bowled him, done for lack of pace and zing go the bails! Faulkner was carted around at the start of the innings but he's come back well, gets the legcutter on target and Ashwin plays all around it
    45.3
    0
    Faulkner to Ashwin
    length, outside off, dabs and misses again. Oh dear
    45.2
    0
    Faulkner to Ashwin
    another cutter in the channel, Ashwin gets back on this one
    45.1
    0
    Faulkner to Ashwin
    good length outside off, slightly slower and it slips past the outside edge
    44.6
    1
    Starc to Ashwin
    on the stumps, gets in line and pushes one into a gap
    44.5
    0
    Starc to Ashwin
    fired through at nearly 90mph, past the outside edge once again
    44.4
    0
    Starc to Ashwin
    back of a length, speared across the batsman, who stays back and fishes unsuccessfully
    44.3
    W
    Starc to Dhoni
    gone, Dhoni is run out by a direct hit from Maxwell, that's all, folks! Dhoni heads straight off, head bowed, nothing even India's supernatural finisher could do about this. He'd worked the singles hard, flicked this off his legs to midwicket and let probability have a go - Maxwell only had one stump to aim at but he dead-eyed it, Dhoni didn't even bother to dive, he was that far out
    44.3
    2
    Starc to Ashwin
    Starc unleashes a beamer, wide of the stumps and Ashwin coolly steers it to third man - no-ball called, not a free hit, though
    44.2
    1
    Starc to Dhoni
    drops short again, this time regular pace, swings across the line and picks out deep square leg
    44.1
    0
    Starc to Dhoni
    short delivery, possibly slower and Dhoni pulls hard and fails to connect
    43.6
    1
    Johnson to Dhoni
    full and outside off, flicked away in front of point for another single - they've seen off Johnson (2-50) but still need more than 100 from the last six
    43.5
    1
    Johnson to Ashwin
    good line from Johnson, asking the batsman to take the risk, steered through the covers
