Live updates as India take on Australia in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The way Rohit Sharma has nullified the Josh Hazlewood threat. Fearless stuff throughout the tournament and that just continues in the final! ????
World Cup final, India 30/0 after four overs: Rohit goes for his favourite pull shot but doesn’t seemed to have timed it as well as he would have liked. Head runs in from the boundary and dives in but the ball falls just short. Good effort to not give away the boundary. Two balls later, he pulls and pulls it straight into the stands! Follows it up by coming down the track and whacking the ball past the fielder at mid-on for a four. Hazlewood facing Sharma’s wrath here. 22 runs from his two overs so far.

Starc has kept his line and length tight and Australia has managed to keep Indian openers in check with equally good effort in the outfield. Nothing to trouble Rohit and Shubman so far though.
IND: 18/0 (3)

World Cup final, India 18/0 after three overs: Gill almost out for a golden duck! Starc induces the edge. Inglis flies to his right but cannot pouch it. The ball bounces just in front of Mitch Marsh at first slip and goes away from him as Gill scampers for a single. Starc is furious.
World Cup final, India 13/0 after two overs: 10 runs off the first three balls of the Josh Hazlewood over. Sharma plays the first ball with soft hands to guide it past slips. Charges down and whacks it through covers for the first four and follows it up with a heave down to the mid-wicket boundary. The Indian captain tries to go leg side again but misses it as the ball flies just past his off stump.
World Cup final, India 3/0 after one over: Starc raps Sharma on his pads with an outswinging ball and goes up in appeal.
