This is where we bow out. For now. It may not have been the most dramatic end to this round of World Cup action, but maybe we shouldn't be too greedy after that superb game between New Zealand and Australia. Let's just be grateful at the quality of the tournament so far. Long may it continue. Which it hopefully will. Later today.

Rick Wilson: Real joy to watch Rohit Sharma bat such ease of shot selection.
"The UAE just need a couple of players to dig deep for them - these are the moments when you see what players are made of, just after they've had a defeat like this."
Captain's view
India captain MS Dhoni: "The bowlers have really stepped up and this has led to improvements in other parts of the side. When we were losing games outside the sub-continent it was a concern and we couldn't get wickets in the middle overs. Now we are getting wickets with the new ball and the spinners are able to put more pressure on in the middle overs. As a unit they are doing well. They have shown they can do it game after game."
"It was very brave for the UAE to bat first. I'm always a fan of getting out in the field in that situation as if you can nip a couple of wickets out, you can get that momentum. But it was always going to be a tough ask for them. India looked all at sea in the tri-series but they've worked well as a unit here. The pace and bounce they extracted really rushed the UAE batsmen, and with the spin of Ashwin their attack is looking really good at the moment."
Captain's view
UAE captain Mohammad Tauqir: "It was not a par score on this wicket. We were outplayed by the Indian bowling. We should have scored 200 plus. He [Ravichandran Ashwin] bowled brilliantly and we couldn't cope. He was getting good bounce and turn. Our top order need to be more responsible. We need to stick to basics and play the whole 50 overs."
"There was always a danger of being complacent against a team like the UAE, but India came out well and the way they approached the game showed they're really up for this tournament. There was no let-up."

Ian: The interval is enforced for TV! The TV rights mean we must have all the ads especially in an India game. 2 billion on TV rights determines enforced breaks & a long tournament to sell ads to repay the TV rights paid.
Post update
So, defending champions India remain top of Pool B with a 100% win record and six points on the board. UAE remain without a win from their three games. They competed in the other two games (against Zimbabwe and Ireland) but they were never in this one. One small plus is that UAE are not bottom of the pool. That spot is occupied by Pakistan, who have a worse net run-rate from their two defeats.
"I was very impressed with India's professionalism. They didn't take their foot off the pedal, they had a hard time in Australia before this tournament but their fielding has improved immensely, they're switched on and that will put pressure on the other teams."
Man of the match
Man of the match Ravichandran Ashwin: "I usually bowl at phases of the game when you are trying to buy wickets or cut the runs down but today went well. I am an attacking bowler but when it comes to this format I am unselfish. It doesn't matter about the numbers as long as I contribute. We had a bit of down time after the Test series but now we are on a roll."
"The only thing that would have disappointed India would have been not batting first and getting some long innings for their batsmen. But the way India annihilated South Africa the other night at the MCG, I think it's going to be between them, Australia and New Zealand. I can't see West Indies or Sri Lanka getting beyond the quarter-finals."
Listen to TMS on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
"India were just too good for the UAE - the UAE have got over 200 a couple of times but this just wasn't their night. They were outclassed by a formidable Indian line-up, and it was only a formality for them to win. But it's great to see the Associates in the World Cup and hopefully there will be more to come in the rest of the tournament."
INDIA WIN BY NINE WICKETS
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
We had to wait for it, but India wrap up as convincing a World Cup win as you are likely to see courtesy of Rohit's hit down the ground off Tauqir for four.
"Afghanistan aren't too bad a team, they have a reasonable bowling attack, and Australia will be wanting to go out and prove a point against them when they meet on Wednesday, after that defeat today."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
Ind 100-1 (Runs required 3)
So I was a bit keen with my eight-ball finish prediction. Kohli nicks a quick single with a steer down to short third man, which has Rohit desperately scampering to get to the striker's end before the throw. After returning to the strike, Kohli cuts another four through backward point off Karate.
"It's just a matter of how long until the umpires pull up the stumps and we move on."
Ind 94-1 (Kohli 28, Rohit 52)

There are six of those balls, off the bowling of Tauqir, during which Rohit brings up his 50 with a powerful cut to the point boundary. That is his 24th ODI 50 and it comes up off 49 balls.
Post update
The players are back out. How long will India take to wrap this up? I'm going for eight balls.
"It's a tough one for the UAE. They'd have wanted to perform today and give India something to work for. They've not done that, and they'll know it's only a few minutes before the game will be won."

Interval entertainment
OK, so here is the state of play... We are currently in a 45-minute interval with India needing 15 more runs to successfully chase down UAE's 102. The men at the crease are Rohit Sharma (47) and Virat Kohli (27). Earlier, Ravi Ashwin took four wickets as the UAE were dismissed for the lowest score of the World Cup so far.
On Test Match Special at the interval (which will take place as scheduled at 10:00 GMT, even if India only need one run to win), they'll be speaking to the Emirates Cricket Board chief executive David East - who may be more familiar to UK listeners as a former Essex wicketkeeper and chief exec.
And so, with India having scored five off Karate's second over, to leave them just 15 short of victory, we are ludicrously taken into a 45-minute interval. Utter nonsense.
"India only need another three or four over max and the game is over. That would take 10 to 15 minutes tops, so it seems a little ludicrous to be about to have a 45-minute interval."

Bibhash Dash: Come on India, hurry up. Have to get to my real job (other than watching cricket) in an hour.
Ind 83-1 (Rohit 45, Kohli 24)
Captain Mohammad Tauqir brings himself into the attack for some very gentle off-spin. He beats a huge swing from Rohit with his third ball and Swapnil Patil prompts a review by whipping off the bails, but the batsman is back in his ground. Rohit then punishes a couple of loose deliveries; smashing the first through extra cover for four before hammering the second down the ground for the same result.
"I can't wait to hear from David East at the interval. Given the score, I hope he's had a couple of pints before he comes on air."
Ind 72-1 (target 103)
Guruge is given a rest after an opening spell of six overs, that went for an economical 19. His replacement is Karate but there are no Daniel Larusso-style heroics from the medium pacer, who is worked around for a couple of singles before Kohli crashes a drive for four.
Ind 66-1 (Kohli 18, Rohit 34)
Kohli welcomes Javed back by middling a straight ball between mid-wicket and mid-on for four. The bowler tightens up his line and concedes just one more run through a Kohli drive towards mid-off.
On Test Match Special at the interval (which will take place as scheduled at 10:00 GMT, even if India only need one run to win), they'll be speaking to the Emirates Cricket Board chief executive David East - who may be more familiar to UK listeners as a former Essex wicketkeeper and chief exec.
"That Mustafa catch reminded me of a game in your backyard. Someone shouts 'catch it' to Uncle Fred, who has been dozing off, and he sticks his hand up - then looks at his hand and thinks 'how the hell did I catch that'.
"It really was something to see."
Ind 59-1 (Rohit 33, Kohli 12)
We do have a bowling change as Amjad Javed (a gentle right-arm medium pacer) comes into the attack. He is unable to stem the boundaries, though, as Rohit launches a drive over the infield and out to the extra-cover boundary. Three singles on top of that move India to within 45 runs of victory.
Scorecard update
India 52-1 (10 overs)
Batsmen: Rohit Sharma 27*, Kohli 11*
Fall of wickets: 29-1 (Dhawan 14)
Bowling figures: Naveed 5-0-35-1, Guruge 4-1-11-0
UAE 102 all out (31.3 overs): Anwar 35, Ashwin 4-25
These two have clearly decided they want this game over as quickly as possible. The first ball of Guruge's fifth over is cut for four by Kohli, who adds another two runs with another cut between backward point and third man. Maybe time for a bowling change? Not that it'll change the inevitable result, just possibly delay its arrival.
"The UAE captain has a lot of headaches. He might need to take some tablets. He hasn't changed the bowling, he has persisted with his two opening bowlers.
"They have a wicket but they are just not doing enough to stay in this contest. India are jetsetting their way towards victory."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
Ind 42-1 (Kohli 5, Rohit 27)
APCopyright: AP
Rohit swings hard at a short ball from Naveed and picks up another boundary. He repeats the trick with the same aggression for a another pulled four and then drives a third. If he keeps this up, this run chase is going to be over in no time. Rohit is 27 from 29 balls and batting himself back into form.
"I still can't get over that catch. It was one of the most exciting moments of the World Cup so far.
"UAE let themselves down with the bat so all they can do is fight hard in the field and make it as tough as they can for India - and that is what they are doing."
Ind 34-1 (target 103)
Guruge has been very economical for the UAE but he veers slightly off line and Kohli capitalises with a beautifully-timed push past mid-on for four. It leaves India needing 69 runs of victory, with 42 overs to get them.

Jarleth Eaton: Have I suddenly woken up back at the World T20?

Virat Kohli joins the fun and gets off the mark by prodding a Naveed delivery to leg for a single.

Dhawan c Mustafa b Naveed 14 (Ind 29-1)
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
What a catch from Mustafa! He sticks out his right hand and snares the ball at point to snre after Dhawan had rocked back to punch through off. It is a great moment for the UAE, and a good wicket to get to extend this game as Dhawan was just warming up.
"There is a three week waiting list for an Australian visa out of India at the moment. They have huge support. And the fans at the Waca today are certainly enjoying this."
Ind 25-0 (target 103)
Rohit claims the first six of the match as he gets underneath a short ball from Guruge and top-edges it 10 rows back into the stand. The UAE are celebrating next ball, which they think Rohit has nicked to Swapnil Patil. Unfortunately for them, the umpire doesn't agree.
"UAE's 102 is the lowest total made against India in a World Cup game. It was previously 109 by Sri Lanka at Johannesburg in 2003."
Ind 19-0 (Rohit 9, Dhawan 10)
Every positive India stroke is being greeted with a roar of approval from the fans in the ground. Rohit moves to nine with a flick to fine leg before Dhawan punches one past mid-on for his first boundary. He then picks off another Naveed ball, which he drives through cover for four. He is a classy customer and a man in form, coming in to this game off the back of scores of 73 and 137.

Kevin Slack, Ellesmere, Shropshire: Today's matches are giving a whole new meaning to "50-over" cricket. A new format: the half-day game.
Ind 10-0
Guruge may not be rapid but he puts the ball in good areas. He keeps Dhawan at the striker's end for five balls before completing a maiden with the best of the over; a slower ball out of the back of his hand that has the batsman concerned but not beaten.
"India look like a team on fire and the thing I liked about them today was that they chased everything in the field really hard.
"Their fielding has really improved over the last couple of months, but they have been so professional in this match. Even when they were so clearly on top while bowling, they worked hard and didn't want to let it slip."
Ind 10-0 (target 103)
Dhawan (who scored a superb 137 against South Africa in Melbourne) flicks one to backward point for another single before Rohit flashes unsuccessfully at a wide Naveed delivery. The India opener has a tendency to play loose shots away from his body like that. it brings him a boundary later in the over, though, as he top-edges one over the slips for four.
Ind 5-0 (Dhawan 1, Rohit 4)
Fresh from his red inker, Manjula Guruge takes on the familiar task of bowling. His first over is disrupted a couple of times by a pesky security man, who distracts Dhawan by scampering around behind the bowlers arm in his neon vest. After Dhawan gets off the mark with a single, Guruge comes around to push one across and past the straight bat of Rohit.
"It is a very good wicket and the ball is sitting up very nicely. There are a lot of runs to be had and with India in the form they've been in over the last two games, they will be looking to continue that.
"It is critical for the UAE to give themselves a bit of energy by nipping out a couple of wickets, but it is going to be a big ask."

Ind 4-0
APCopyright: AP
Mohammad Naveed has the new ball for UAE and he bowls three dot balls before Rohit leans back to crash one through cover to the boundary to get himself and his team up and running.
Post update
Out come the UAE players, followed soon after by the India openers: Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. There aren't many runs to get but the latter could do with getting most of them. He's scored 15 and 0 so far in the tournament.
Trent Boult (5-27) bowled New Zealand into a commanding position as the Aussies slumped from 80-1 to 106-9, and finished on 151 all out.
New Zealand were then cruising at 78-1 before Mitchell Starc (6-28) reduced them to 79-4 and then 146-9 - but Kane Williamson (45 not out) won it for the Kiwis with a six.

Player reaction
Ravichandran Ashwin, the pick of the Indian bowlers with 4-25 off 10 overs: "We mixed up the pace of the bowling really well.
"I'm enjoying the tournament. I've just gone about my business. I want to bowl all the time, and when the team needs someone to put the hand up I will. It's not about my figures, it's about the team.
"It was a hard time for us coming into this World Cup but we always knew that when the tournament came we would pick things up."
End-of-innings scorecard
UAE 102 all out (31.3 overs, won toss)
Batsman: Guruge 10*
Fall of wickets: 7-1 (Berenger 4), 13-2 (Amjad 4), 28-3 (Karate 4), 41-4 (Patil 7), 44-5 (Khurram 14), 52-6 (Mustafa 2), 61-7 (Javed 2), 68-8 (Naveed 6), 71-9 (Tauqir 1), 102 all out (Anwar 35)
So, thanks largely to that 31-run partnership between Anwar and Guruge (comfortably the biggest of the innings) the UAE narrowly avoid becoming the first team to be bowled out for less than 100 by India in a World Cup. However, their 102 total is still the lowest ever made against an Indian side at the tournament.

Seamus in Warsaw: Re: Phil Pass (27 overs): Love your selective memory loss. Think Eng-Aus and Eng-NZ would be contenders for mismatch of tournament?
"The UAE would have hoped to have represented themselves better today. They had two decent games coming into this and they'd have hoped to challenge a little more.
"But fair play to the Indians. They could have been lackadaisical, but they have been ruthless and clinical and done an excellent job in bowling the UAE out for just over 100."

Anwar b Yadav 35 (UAE 102 all out)
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
The hundred is brought up for the UAE courtesy of an edge from Anwar, which goes straight between the India keeper Dhoni and slip Raina, who look at each other in bemusement. It is Anwar's final flourish, though, as he is then cleaned up by Yadav to end the innings.
"Guruge put a big stride in and let the hands go. I like that. He hit that boundary from the final ball as though he was a top order batsman."
UAE 98-9
Guruge is putting his team-mates to shame here. He flat-bats five Jadeja deliveries before planting his foot and smashing the last through extra cover for four.
"There is a lot to do for the UAE, right? Lots of pressure, not much to work with.
"They needed someone today to stick around but it hasn't happened and it has been tough going.
"Anwar has needed someone to stay at the crease with him. He has played some classy shots. The four in that over was as fine as you'd get from anyone.
"If they can get to three figures it will give them a little something to work with, psychologically it is important."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
UAE 94-9 (Guruge 6, Anwar 31)
Yadav returns to try and find this final wicket. Anwar attempts another pull but is on to it too early and gets a leading edge to mid-off. He moves into the 30s with a flick off his legs for four. He has been the only shining light for his side so far today.
UAE 90-9
The big number 11 is having a go here. He might as well, he's got nothing to lose now. He swipes a single to leg before Anwar takes a more classical approach to earn another run through square leg. The UAE are edging towards 100.
"There has not been enough application in cherishing their wicket from the UAE, or in occupying the crease more. They have been overawed."
UAE 88-9 Guruge 5, Anwar 26)
UAE survive another lbw shout as Anwar sweeps. Jadeja thought it was pad, but replays show it was entirely bat. Odd appeal. Anwar makes better contact with a subsequent sweep that brings him four runs. This is now the best partnership of the match so far - 17 runs.

Phil Pass: Waking up to the #bbccricket scores is a very different feeling each day depending who's playing. Still backing NZ, Aus, SA & Ind for semis. Feel sorry for UAE v India. First real mismatch (so it seems) of the tournament so far (other than games involving West Indies).
UAE 84-9
Guruge has a swing himself and adds three to the total with a drive through cover off Ashwin's first ball. Anwar steers his way to another single before the number 11 survives a half-hearted lbw shout and then edging wide of slip for two more. A rare decent over for the associate nation.
UAE 78-9 (Guruge 0, Anwar 21)
Anwar goes on the assault against Jadeja, carving one over cover for four before slashing another down towards third man for two more. It is all down to him now to help his side towards a three-figure total.
UAE 76-9
Manjula Guruge is the last line of UAE resistance. He watches from the non-striker's end as the only man to have reached double figures in this innings, Anwar, sees off five balls before keeping striker with a single off the last from Ashwin. At least the UAE have made it to the halway point of their innings.
"This is a good wicket but UAE have just not been able to come to terms first with the bounce and then with the spinners.
"It is the dismissals by the spinners that has been the most disappointing thing, because you can understand the pace being a problem.
"But whatever, this innings is screaming to a halt."

Tauqir b Jadeja 1 (UAE 71-9)

The Indian spin assault continues and captain Tauqir is unable to provide any resistance. To be fair, he is his own worst enemy as he attempts to sweep and is bowled around his legs. I said earlier UAE would struggle to make 100. It looks like they might not even make 80.
UAE 68-8 (Anwar 12, Tauqir 0)
In comes Mohammad Tauqir, at 43 years old the oldest skipper in World Cup history. He fails to add any runs in his first three balls. His decision to bat looks brave but foolish now.
"What an ugly looking dismissal that was, after that excellent six down the ground first ball.
"Naveed is trying to give himself some room for the cut shot and it clipped the wicket.
"At least he went down playing a few shots. But this is going to be a very small total India are chasing down."

Karen Lynch: l think the UAE are still laughing at the Aussies' innings.
The Rockstar: Shouldn't even played in this world cup. Netherlands deserved to qualify not UAE.
UAE 67-7
Speaking of introductions, say hello to Mohammad Naveed, who plants his foot first ball and absolutely smashes the ball down the ground for six. Then, from the final ball of the over, he is dropped by Raina at slip after poking at the ball.
"First ball, left-arm spin. This is going to be a procession I think. The Waca isn't known for its spin but it is too much for the UAE.
"The UAE just haven't come to terms with the extra bounce. Hopefully they had a good knock in the nets where there is some bounce, but they've come to the middle and I don't know whether it's the occasion that's got to them or the quality of the bowling, but they haven't performed."

Javed c Raina b Jadeja 2 (UAE 61-7)
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
That's how you introduce yourself to a game. Ravinda Jadeja's spin proves as effective as that of Ashwin as Javed prods and edges a good-length ball for Raina to claim his third catch of the innings at slip.
Great work from Dhoni. He almost turns a wide into a wicket from Ashwin's third ball, as he gathers and flicks off the bails in quick time. Javed's foot was just down, though. The batsman then flicks one in the air over leg slip but the ball falls safe. Anwar finishes the over with a strong cut short through cover for four. He is very unlikely to win this game for UAE, but Anwar is their best hope of avoiding embarrassment here.
"The only reason for Mustafa to review that is because they are running out of wickets and they need to use some reviews.
"His bat wasn't even close to it. Mustafa watched the review on the big screen and started walking. There was no doubt about it."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
UAE 54-6 (Anwar 6, Javed 2)
Amjad Javed, who hit very cleanly to score 42 in 55 balls against Ireland, is the next man to try his luck against this dominant Indian attack. He survives his first ball, clipping through square leg for two.

Mohit starts with a loose short ball that Anwar (who has looked good on the pull) swivels on to collect a single through mid-wicket. Four balls later Mustafa is trapped in front and Michael Gough's finger goes up. The batsman reviews it but having watched the replay on the big screen he starts the long walk without even waiting for the third umpire's decision. UAE will do well to make 100 now.
"India will be disappointed if UAE don't put up a decent total. They need Sharma to get a decent knock, because that hasn't happened yet on this trip.
"But India look strong and imposing at the moment, and a team to be really reckoned with."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
UAE 51-5
More dangerous turn from Ashwin tempts the left-handed Mustafa into a dabble, which he misses as Dhoni takes. The batsman is a bit wiser with the next one - a similar delivery, which he leaves. He then gets off the mark with a flick to leg for two runs.

UAE 49-5 (Mustafa 0, Anwar 5)
UAE fans haven't had much to cheer but they can savour Anwar's shot from the first ball of Mohit's latest over - a powerful pull to the boundary through square leg. Anwar almost gets another boundary with a flick off his pads, but Dhawan does well to dive and stop.
"Khurram was sucked in there. Dhoni had moved leg slip in, about five or six metres off the bat.
"It tempted Khan to play the sweep and he wasn't good enough. He top-edged it, and it was an easy catch.
"But the simple act of changing the field just puts doubt in the batsman's mind and changes things.
"It is great captaincy by Dhoni, he is one of the most pro-active skippers around."
UAE 44-5
India think they have another as new man Rohan Mustafa initially offers a shot before pulling his bat away, but not quite quickly enough. MS Dhoni thinks he might have nicked it. The umpire doesn't, though, and India opt against a review.

India and Ashwin strike again. Khurram looks to try and sweep to leg, where there is space to pick up runs, but he top-edges and the ball loops for an easy catch for Suresh Raina coming round from slip. The UAE have not been able to deal with Ashwin.
"When they first arrived in Australia they struggled because they were trying to find the right combinations and work out the conditions.
"One thing they haven't done well is win much when they travel. I think in the 10 days before the World Cup started, they prepared well and made plans.
"The win over South Africa was the game that told me they are going to be a real force in this competition."
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
UAE 44-4 (run-rate 2.75)
Another worrying moment for UAE as Khurram edges one off Mohit but it goes wide of slip and down to third man for a single. Anwar sees off a couple of balls before pulling one to mid-wicket to get off the mark. Khurram gets away with another as he inside edges past his stumps to claim another single.
"I think UAE did the right thing batting first. It is the only chance you have against the big Test-playing nations.
"The crowd would have probably liked to have seen India bat first and have a good knock. But you can't criticise the UAE for their decision, it was the right thing to do."
UAE 41-4 (Khurram 12, Anwar 0)
In comes the UAE danger man, Shaiman Anwar, who became their first ever World Cup century-maker in the game against Ireland after having scored 67 against Zimbabwe. A drinks break gives him time to settle before driving one to cover for no run.
"Ashwin gets extra bounce and that was a beautiful piece of bowling. It was the quicker arm ball, slightly wider of off stump than his normal deliveries and it got the outside edge.
"It is just too much for the UAE batsman and I just can't see them recovering from here."

Patil c Dhawan b Ashwin 7 (UAE 41-4)
Ashwin strikes again with a slightly quicker ball outside off stump that Patil dabs at and edges for Shikhar Dhawan to dive and catch low down. India are pressing home their advantage. There is no way this game is going the distance.
"This is David and Goliath stuff. UAE have done really well in their first two games against Zimbabwe and Ireland but this is a major step up.
"There is a long way to go though, and a lot can still happen."
UAE 36-3
Mohit delivers the first maiden of the innings as Patil patiently avoids playing at a few tempting deliveries outside off stump before keeping out a dangerous inswinger.
"The former UAE captain Khurram Khan - batting now - used to be a flight attendant and once served Brian Lara on a flight. I wonder what they talked about.
"It must have been a fascinating conversation. Or did he just stay quiet and not admit who he was?"
Listen to TMS commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra via the "Live Coverage" tab.
UAE 36-3 (Patil 6, Khurram 9)
Ashwin continues and the UAE pair do well to push him around for a couple of singles - with a dab to third man and then a steer through square leg. The ground is starting to fill up now, mainly with India fans, who are understandably enjoying themselves. Their team is well on top.
UAE 34-3 (Khurram 8, Patil 5)
Patil has come in with a bit of intent. A wide, short ball from the newly introduced Mohit Sharma is cut away to the backward point boundary for four. Mohit responds well, utilising some inswing to keep Patil on his toes.
"India will be very happy. They are doing the basics very well.
"A few bowlers will be licking their lips today and trying to get some figures in.
"For the UAE it is a lot to have to face. Only one or two of their players will have faced India before."
UAE 29-3 (Patil 1, Khurram 8)
A great start from Ashwin, whose height, combined with this bouncy track, is a potent combination. Karate couldn't deal with it and neither Khurram or new man Swapnil Patil looked comfortable.
"I thought the spin might suit UAE, with the pace taken off it. But I take that back now.
"Karate tried to work it around the corner but he should have known the man was there. Decent bowling but inexperience from the batsman."

WICKET
Karate c Raina b Ashwin 4 (UAE 28-3)
UAE get some respite from the pace, as off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin enters the attack but it proves to be the undoing of Karate, who dabbles at one to turn it to leg but only succeeds in gloving it on to his thigh pad and then to Suresh Raina at leg slip.
"I watched a fair bit of India in the tri-series and it is almost as if they are a different team now.
"It was as if they had given up the ghost for a while. They didn't even step it up against England in the tri-series.
"But they've come back so strongly with these last two wins. There must have been some strong words said by somebody somewhere along the line."

UAE 28-2 (Karate 4, Khurram 8)
Billy Bowden turned down a good lbw shout earlier in the innings. Now it is Michael Gough's turn to shake his head after Yadav slams the ball into Khurram's pads. It is a good call, as replays show the ball was pitching outside the line. Karate gets lucky later in the over when his nicks one through the slips. Khurram then survives a couple of hairy moments when he plays and misses. The pressure is building.
On UAE's India-born duo of Krishna Chandran and Swapnil Patil:
"Apparently Patil's brother will still be supporting India, even though his brother is in the UAE side. It must be an amazing emotion for those two players. They were born in India and grew up supporting them.
"Then to come out on the big stage... they will probably have mixed emotions, but deep down they will really want to show India that they have what it takes."

UAE 24-2 (Khurram 7, Karate 3)
There has already been a few lofty shots from the UAE batsmen (two of which have fallen just short of fielders) and Khurram produces another, this time earning himself a four through the empty spot at third man. It is the second boundary of the innings. Karate is handed back the strike by his partner and has to deal with a nasty bouncer from Kumar.
"It was always going to be tough for UAE. They are up against superstar millionaires. They did really well against Ireland and Zimbabwe in their first two games but that little bit of extra pace has undone them so far.
"Going up against best is always a tough ask, but it is good to see India are on the money as well."
UAE 18-2 (Khurram 2, Karate 3)
Yadav is putting it through at a fair old pace. He keeps the UAE on the back foot. Literally. An early wide a flick from Khurram to leg add a couple to the total but Karate is fortunate not to nick a full delivery with a flashing drive that misjudged the line.
UAE: Amjad Ali, Andri Berenger, Krishna Chandran, Khurram Khan, Swapnil Patil (wk), Shaiman Anwar, Rohan Mustafa, Amjad Javed, Mohammad Naveed, Mohammad Tauqir (capt), Manjula Guruge.
Umpires are New Zealand's Billy Bowden and England's Michael Gough.
UAE 16-2 (Khurram 1, Karate 3)
UAE are struggling to cope with what is a quick, bouncy wicket. It is a good track, but the Indian bowlers are a cut above what the associate nation have faced so far in the tournament. Kumar flies in again and Khurram and Karate survive, while adding three to the total. Here are the teams for today's game...
"This is not the start that UAE wanted, winning the toss and electing to have a bat.
"It's looks a very good wicket, a really fast outfield. A little push normally goes for four."

Cheers Michael. Top effort sir. Well, how do you follow that?! I'll tell you how; India v UAE! No? Fine, so it doesn't quite resonate in the same way, but so far it is doing its best to provide the requisite entertainment.
UAE bravely opted to bat (they had no choice but to try and set their superior opponents a score) but ominously they have already lost a couple of wickets. Openers Amjad Ali and Andri Berenger have both gone for four, caught behind by MS Dhoni off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav respectively. Krishna Chandran (going under his mother's maiden name of Karate) and Khurram Khan are the men looking to consolidate at the crease...
We continue
Well, what an incredible, amazing, wonderful match that was. New Zealand just about did enough as Kane Williamson kept his composure as his team-mates crumbled around him.
That gives New Zealand four wins out of four, while Australia, four-time World Cup winners, have now won one, lost one and had one game abandoned because of the weather.
But we're not finished today. No way. India are playing the United Arab Emirates right now. UAE have opted to bat after winning the toss, but things have not exactly gone to plan. Phil Dawkes is the man to take you through that match. I'm off to lie down.

India captain MS Dhoni: "The bowlers have really stepped up and this has led to improvements in other parts of the side. When we were losing games outside the sub-continent it was a concern and we couldn't get wickets in the middle overs.

"It was very brave for the UAE to bat first. I'm always a fan of getting out in the field in that situation as if you can nip a couple of wickets out, you can get that momentum. But it was always going to be a tough ask for them. India looked all at sea in the tri-series but they've worked well as a unit here. The pace and bounce they extracted really rushed the UAE batsmen, and with the spin of Ashwin their attack is looking really good at the moment."
Captain's view
UAE captain Mohammad Tauqir: "It was not a par score on this wicket. We were outplayed by the Indian bowling. We should have scored 200 plus. He [Ravichandran Ashwin] bowled brilliantly and we couldn't cope. He was getting good bounce and turn. Our top order need to be more responsible. We need to stick to basics and play the whole 50 overs."

So, defending champions India remain top of Pool B with a 100% win record and six points on the board. UAE remain without a win from their three games. They competed in the other two games (against Zimbabwe and Ireland) but they were never in this one. One small plus is that UAE are not bottom of the pool. That spot is occupied by Pakistan, who have a worse net run-rate from their two defeats.

Man of the match
Man of the match Ravichandran Ashwin: "I usually bowl at phases of the game when you are trying to buy wickets or cut the runs down but today went well.

We had a bit of down time after the Test series but now we are on a roll."

OK, so here is the state of play... We are currently in a 45-minute interval with India needing 15 more runs to successfully chase down UAE's 102. The men at the crease are Rohit Sharma (47) and Virat Kohli (27). Earlier, Ravi Ashwin took four wickets as the UAE were dismissed for the lowest score of the World Cup so far.

He beats a huge swing from Rohit with his third ball and Swapnil Patil prompts a review by whipping off the bails, but the batsman is back in his ground.

We do have a bowling change as Amjad Javed (a gentle right-arm medium pacer) comes into the attack. He is unable to stem the boundaries, though, as Rohit launches a drive over the infield and out to the extra-cover boundary. Three singles on top of that move India to within 45 runs of victory.

Ind 10-0 (target 103)
Dhawan (who scored a superb 137 against South Africa in Melbourne) flicks one to backward point for another single before Rohit flashes unsuccessfully at a wide Naveed delivery. The India opener has a tendency to play loose shots away from his body like that. it brings him a boundary later in the over, though, as he top-edges one over the slips for four.
Ind 5-0 (Dhawan 1, Rohit 4)
Fresh from his red inker, Manjula Guruge takes on the familiar task of bowling. His first over is disrupted a couple of times by a pesky security man, who distracts Dhawan by scampering around behind the bowlers arm in his neon vest.

New Zealand were then cruising at 78-1 before Mitchell Starc (6-28) reduced them to 79-4 and then 146-9 - but Kane Williamson (45 not out) won it for the Kiwis with a six.

So, thanks largely to that 31-run partnership between Anwar and Guruge (comfortably the biggest of the innings) the UAE narrowly avoid becoming the first team to be bowled out for less than 100 by India in a World Cup.

"Guruge put a big stride in and let the hands go. I like that. He hit that boundary from the final ball as though he was a top order batsman."
UAE 98-9
Guruge is putting his team-mates to shame here. He flat-bats five Jadeja deliveries before planting his foot and smashing the last through extra cover for four.

"There is a lot to do for the UAE, right? Lots of pressure, not much to work with.
"They needed someone today to stick around but it hasn't happened and it has been tough going.
"Anwar has needed someone to stay at the crease with him. He has played some classy shots. The four in that over was as fine as you'd get from anyone.
"If they can get to three figures it will give them a little something to work with, psychologically it is important."

UAE 94-9 (Guruge 6, Anwar 31)
Yadav returns to try and find this final wicket. Anwar attempts another pull but is on to it too early and gets a leading edge to mid-off. He moves into the 30s with a flick off his legs for four. He has been the only shining light for his side so far today.
UAE 90-9
The big number 11 is having a go here. He might as well, he's got nothing to lose now. He swipes a single to leg before Anwar takes a more classical approach to earn another run through square leg. The UAE are edging towards 100.

"There has not been enough application in cherishing their wicket from the UAE, or in occupying the crease more. They have been overawed."
UAE 88-9 Guruge 5, Anwar 26)
UAE survive another lbw shout as Anwar sweeps. Jadeja thought it was pad, but replays show it was entirely bat. Odd appeal. Anwar makes better contact with a subsequent sweep that brings him four runs. This is now the best partnership of the match so far - 17 runs.

Phil Pass: Waking up to the #bbccricket scores is a very different feeling each day depending who's playing. Still backing NZ, Aus, SA & Ind for semis. Feel sorry for UAE v India. First real mismatch (so it seems) of the tournament so far (other than games involving West Indies).
UAE 84-9
Guruge has a swing himself and adds three to the total with a drive through cover off Ashwin's first ball. Anwar steers his way to another single before the number 11 survives a half-hearted lbw shout and then edging wide of slip for two more. A rare decent over for the associate nation.
UAE 78-9 (Guruge 0, Anwar 21)
Anwar goes on the assault against Jadeja, carving one over cover for four before slashing another down towards third man for two more. It is all down to him now to help his side towards a three-figure total.
UAE 76-9
Manjula Guruge is the last line of UAE resistance. He watches from the non-striker's end as the only man to have reached double figures in this innings, Anwar, sees off five balls before keeping striker with a single off the last from Ashwin. At least the UAE have made it to the halway point of their innings.

"This is a good wicket but UAE have just not been able to come to terms first with the bounce and then with the spinners.

"But whatever, this innings is screaming to a halt."

Tauqir b Jadeja 1 (UAE 71-9)
The Indian spin assault continues and captain Tauqir is unable to provide any resistance. To be fair, he is his own worst enemy as he attempts to sweep and is bowled around his legs. I said earlier UAE would struggle to make 100. It looks like they might not even make 80.
UAE 68-8 (Anwar 12, Tauqir 0)
In comes Mohammad Tauqir, at 43 years old the oldest skipper in World Cup history. He fails to add any runs in his first three balls. His decision to bat looks brave but foolish now.

"First ball, left-arm spin. This is going to be a procession I think. The Waca isn't known for its spin but it is too much for the UAE.
"The UAE just haven't come to terms with the extra bounce. Hopefully they had a good knock in the nets where there is some bounce, but they've come to the middle and I don't know whether it's the occasion that's got to them or the quality of the bowling, but they haven't performed."
WICKET
Javed c Raina b Jadeja 2 (UAE 61-7)
That's how you introduce yourself to a game. Ravinda Jadeja's spin proves as effective as that of Ashwin as Javed prods and edges a good-length ball for Raina to claim his third catch of the innings at slip.
Scorecard
Close!
UAE 61-6
Great work from Dhoni. He almost turns a wide into a wicket from Ashwin's third ball, as he gathers and flicks off the bails in quick time. Javed's foot was just down, though. The batsman then flicks one in the air over leg slip but the ball falls safe. Anwar finishes the over with a strong cut short through cover for four. He is very unlikely to win this game for UAE, but Anwar is their best hope of avoiding embarrassment here.

UAE 54-6 (Anwar 6, Javed 2)
Amjad Javed, who hit very cleanly to score 42 in 55 balls against Ireland, is the next man to try his luck against this dominant Indian attack. He survives his first ball, clipping through square leg for two.
WICKET
Mustafa lbw b Mohit 2 (UAE 52-6)
Mohit starts with a loose short ball that Anwar (who has looked good on the pull) swivels on to collect a single through mid-wicket. Four balls later Mustafa is trapped in front and Michael Gough's finger goes up. The batsman reviews it but having watched the replay on the big screen he starts the long walk without even waiting for the third umpire's decision. UAE will do well to make 100 now.

UAE 51-5
More dangerous turn from Ashwin tempts the left-handed Mustafa into a dabble, which he misses as Dhoni takes. The batsman is a bit wiser with the next one - a similar delivery, which he leaves. He then gets off the mark with a flick to leg for two runs.

"Khurram was sucked in there. Dhoni had moved leg slip in, about five or six metres off the bat.
"It tempted Khan to play the sweep and he wasn't good enough. He top-edged it, and it was an easy catch.
"But the simple act of changing the field just puts doubt in the batsman's mind and changes things.
"It is great captaincy by Dhoni, he is one of the most pro-active skippers around."
UAE 44-5
India think they have another as new man Rohan Mustafa initially offers a shot before pulling his bat away, but not quite quickly enough. MS Dhoni thinks he might have nicked it. The umpire doesn't, though, and India opt against a review.
WICKET
Khurram c Raina b Ashwin 14 (UAE 44-5)
India and Ashwin strike again. Khurram looks to try and sweep to leg, where there is space to pick up runs, but he top-edges and the ball loops for an easy catch for Suresh Raina coming round from slip. The UAE have not been able to deal with Ashwin.

UAE 44-4 (run-rate 2.75)
Another worrying moment for UAE as Khurram edges one off Mohit but it goes wide of slip and down to third man for a single. Anwar sees off a couple of balls before pulling one to mid-wicket to get off the mark. Khurram gets away with another as he inside edges past his stumps to claim another single.

UAE 36-3 (Patil 6, Khurram 9)
Ashwin continues and the UAE pair do well to push him around for a couple of singles - with a dab to third man and then a steer through square leg. The ground is starting to fill up now, mainly with India fans, who are understandably enjoying themselves. Their team is well on top.
UAE 34-3 (Khurram 8, Patil 5)
Patil has come in with a bit of intent. A wide, short ball from the newly introduced Mohit Sharma is cut away to the backward point boundary for four. Mohit responds well, utilising some inswing to keep Patil on his toes.

Billy Bowden turned down a good lbw shout earlier in the innings. Now it is Michael Gough's turn to shake his head after Yadav slams the ball into Khurram's pads.

There has already been a few lofty shots from the UAE batsmen (two of which have fallen just short of fielders) and Khurram produces another, this time earning himself a four through the empty spot at third man.

UAE 18-2 (Khurram 2, Karate 3)
Yadav is putting it through at a fair old pace. He keeps the UAE on the back foot. Literally. An early wide a flick from Khurram to leg add a couple to the total but Karate is fortunate not to nick a full delivery with a flashing drive that misjudged the line.

Cheers Michael. Top effort sir. Well, how do you follow that?! I'll tell you how; India v UAE! No? Fine, so it doesn't quite resonate in the same way, but so far it is doing its best to provide the requisite entertainment.
UAE bravely opted to bat (they had no choice but to try and set their superior opponents a score) but ominously they have already lost a couple of wickets. Openers Amjad Ali and Andri Berenger have both gone for four, caught behind by MS Dhoni off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav respectively. Krishna Chandran (going under his mother's maiden name of Karate) and Khurram Khan are the men looking to consolidate at the crease...

Well, what an incredible, amazing, wonderful match that was. New Zealand just about did enough as Kane Williamson kept his composure as his team-mates crumbled around him.
That gives New Zealand four wins out of four, while Australia, four-time World Cup winners, have now won one, lost one and had one game abandoned because of the weather.
But we're not finished today. No way. India are playing the United Arab Emirates right now. UAE have opted to bat after winning the toss, but things have not exactly gone to plan. Phil Dawkes is the man to take you through that match. I'm off to lie down.
