Australia dominate India's bowling.

The weather at lunch in Johannesburg is lovely and the game might finish without the interuption of rain. There is a little bit of cloud however it would appear that the only rain for the day could have already passed this morning.

Australia broke their own record for the highest ever total of 349 (against New Zealand) for an Australian team in a One day international. In doing this they also broke the record for largest Australian partnership. The only two wickets so far went first at 105 (Gilchrist) and second at 125 (Hayden).
