The balls of India are quite something.

I don't think any other country - including Australia - would have the confidence to just see off the new ball, accept being just 28-1 after 10 overs, and back themselves to still chase 338. Albeit still 200 runs to go yet.
 
Adil Rashid finally turning up at this WC would be quite useful about now.

YES!!!!!
 
Thank the effing Lord that Vince didn't drop that. He's already public enemy number one. If he'd dropped that...
 
Right then, this could be fun. Pant can make Maxwell's innings look patient and thought out.
 
Hardik being promoted up two places tells you that India are sweating on the rate.

Ordinarily Dhoni would need to be in by now, because usually these days he needs quite a few balls to get going. But no, they're prioritising trying to get runs now.
