Welcome back.. How long will India take to finish this off? Rohit needs some runs, can't get a better opportunity than this. We have around 65-70 minutes for the dinner break.. that will mean - around 15-16 overs.

Ashwin: "It's been a long time since I've got a fourth wicket, I mean in the sense that I've never got a 4-fer before. It was a running on my mind a bit, but having said that I was focusing on my basics and it's coming out really well. The last time I bowled here at Perth against Sri Lanka I enjoyed a lot. There is a wee bit of spin if you bowl it really slow and apart from that, you are really hitting the top of the face all the time because of the bounce. I quite enjoyed bowling here. The arm-ball was going really well because of the two new balls, you got shine on one of the sides and you can use it pretty much better. If you mix up the pace and if you can really bowl the arm-ball and really set-up the batsman and bowl one really slow, you are going to pretty much get the batsman fending on the front foot, then the leg slip is going to come into play. It's not about the numbers as I've always gone about my business. When I've always turned up for India it's about bowling in the tough situations I really want the ball all the time. If there is a scenario where you need to put the hand up and that's what I am looking at all the time. We pretty much spoke about it even before the tournament began, we've always peaked really well at the ICC tournaments and it was quite a hard time after the Test series, we were playing a tri-series in which we were trying a few combinations and all that. But when the tournament comes, we knew we'll pick it up."

India's fielding too was sharp, though the usually reliable Suresh Raina dropped a simple catch to give Mohammad Naveed a reprieve. In fact, it turned out to be the first drop catch of this World Cup for India. India will look to chase down the target quickly and improve their net run rate. At the other end of the spectrum, UAE's total of 102 is their lowest ever score in ODIs. They need to take a few wickets to at least lift their sagging morale.

Once Krishnachandran Karate was dismissed, rest of the batsmen didn't seem to have a clue while facing up to Ashwin's box of tricks. Only Shaiman Anwar, who has clearly been their best player in this mega event showed the application and the technique to score a flurry of boundaries and compile a well-measured innings of 35. He used the depth of the crease to keep the scoreboard moving. Shaiman also stitched a useful partnership for the last wicket with Manjula Guruge. After playing with a dash of fearlessness in the first two games against Zimbabwe and Ireland, it has been a disastrous performance put up by UAE. On the other hand, the Indian camp will be happy after putting up a thoroughly professional show with the ball in hand.

Earlier, UAE's openers Andri Berenger and Amjad Ali struggled to cope up with the pace and bounce and were dismissed in the first five overs of the innings. Indian pacers, on their part, used the short ball to good effect. Umesh Yadav snared the wicket of Berenger with a short delivery and Amjad followed him back to the pavilion, as a result of another short delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

On the back of Ravichandran Ashwin's excellent spell of spin bowling, India skittled out the opposition ranks for a paltry score. Ashwin used the breeze from south-west to good effect to hold it up in the air and take a four-wicket haul. He also used the arm ball well. It turned out to be Ashwin's best figures in ODIs. Ravindra Jadeja too picked up a couple of wickets. UAE's batsmen didn't help their cause by showing poor technique against both the pacers and Ashwin. None of their batsmen tried to get themselves in and adjust to the extra pace and bounce on offer at the WACA.

Raina pats Ashwin on the back as the players walk off the field. The Indian fans are absolutely ecstatic in the stands.

31.3 - U Yadav to Shaiman Anwar, out Bowled!! You miss, I hit! This is the lowest ODI total for UAE. Fast and full from Yadav, Anwar was beaten for pace as he looked to work it on the on-side, plays completely down the wrong line and misses. The ball shatters middle and off.

Some consolation for UAE - Tanmoy reports that there was a resounding applause from the crowd when UAE raised their team fifty.

Stumping check sent upstairs, but Dhoni isn't confident. Did Javed get his back foot back in time? Looks like he has! NOT OUT!

Amjad Javed, right handed bat, comes to the crease

19.5 - Mohit Sharma to Rohan Mustafa, out Lbw!! Mohit Sharma gets his name into the wickets column too. Nothing but a good length delivery, Mustafa was beaten for pace as he was so late in bringing his bat down to defend, the ball thuds into the back pad. The ball pitched in line with middle, struck him in line with middle and Hawk-Eye confirms that it would go on to hit middle and off. The umpire took a long time to make the call, but it was a good decision in the end. It's 52/6 now. Rohan Mustafa lbw b Mohit Sharma 2(12)

Mohit Sharma to Rohan Mustafa, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Huge shout for LBW and given. The umpire took a long time to make his decision and Mustafa has decided to review. Looked pretty adjacent but did it pitch in line? No problems with the no-ball. I think that's plumb. No inside edge. Pitching in line and hitting middle and off. OUT! UAE lose their only review.

19.4 - Mohit Sharma to Rohan Mustafa, no run, short of length delivery well wide of off, left alone

17.3 - Mohit Sharma to Shaiman Anwar, wide, short ball from Mohit, but it was too high

Well, well! Had India reviewed for that caught behind shout against Rohan Mustafa, they would have got their man. The Snicko shows a spike as the ball takes a faint edge.

17.2 - Mohit Sharma to Shaiman Anwar, no run, short of length delivery just outside off stump, Anwar hops and defends

17.1 - Mohit Sharma to Shaiman Anwar, FOUR, first boundary for Anwar. Short ball on the off stump, Anwar rocks back and pulls well through backward square leg

16.6 - Ashwin to Rohan Mustafa, no run, shout for caught behind, but the umpire says no. Mustafa dangerously opts to leave this flighted delivery alone, it was so close to the off stump. Maybe Dhoni thought it brushed the glove or bat on the way. They think about the review but decide against it

16.5 - Ashwin to Rohan Mustafa, no run, drifting back into Mustafa, who manages to defend off the front foot

Round the wicket to the left-hander

Rohan Mustafa, left handed bat, comes to the crease

16.4 - Ashwin to K Khan, out Caught by Raina!! It's a top edge and Raina is very alert, as he moves swiftly to his right to take an easy catch. Flighted delivery around the leg stump line, Khan gets down on his knees to sweep, the ball takes a soft top edge, Dhoni was going for the catch as well, but Raina moved quickly and called early. In the end, he takes an easy catch to reduce UAE to 44/5. That is the third wicket for Ash! K Khan c Raina b Ashwin 14(28) [4s-1]

Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the first 15 overs: UAE made a poor start as they lost the wicket of Andri Berenger in the second over of the innings. Amjad Ali and Krishnachandran Karate too struggled to keep the scorecard ticking. Amjad was eventually, dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Umesh Yadav used the bounce and carry to good effect to trouble UAE's batsmen. Bhuvneshwar in his comeback game swung the ball, but it was the short delivery that did the trick for him. To make it worse for UAE, Ravichandran Ashwin snared the wickets of Karate and Swapnil Patil. It is crystal clear that UAE's batsmen lack the experience to play on a deck that is offering assistance for the pacers.

Undoubtedly, WACA is famous for producing lightning fast tracks. However, on occasions, the curators have also come under severe criticism for producing cracked up surfaces. In the 1997 Test match played between Australia and the West Indies, Curtly Ambrose produced an unplayable delivery that hit a crack and stayed low to shatter Greg Blewett's stumps. The next year, Simon Cook ripped through New Zealand's batting line-up on a track that had almost become unplayable by Day 4 of that Test match. In 2000, a List A games between Western Australia and Queensland was abandoned after just five overs were bowled as it proved to be a treacherous track. No wonder, from time to time, curators like Ken Johnston, Scott Hamilton, David Crane, Richard Winder and Cam Sutherland have come under pressure.

14.6 - Ashwin to Shaiman Anwar, no run, bit of drift back into the right-hander as Ashwin gives this a lot more air, Anwar drives it to cover, who dives to his right and makes a good save

Shaiman Anwar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Drinks are on the field now

14.5 - Ashwin to Swapnil Patil, out Caught by Dhawan!! Edged and that's a good catch. India's catching at this World Cup has been exceptional. Straighter one from Ash, but it drifts away because of the Fremantle Doctor breeze, Patil looks to defend off the front foot, gets a thick edge, the ball went quickly, but Dhawan dived early to his right at first slip to grab with both hands.

11.1 - Mohit Sharma to Swapnil Patil, wide, Mohit starts his spell with a bouncer, but it's too high
