  2. Ind 42-1 (India won toss)published at 04:21 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    England will be keen to see how this pitch plays, with their match against Bangladesh scheduled for Adelaide. Sohail Khan, whose run-up to the crease resembles the great Waqar Younis, is bowling well and giving very little away to the two batsmen. Just a couple of singles from the over.

    Innocent Bystander shared this picture from inside the ground just after the start of play: Plenty of empty seats, queues were huge outside and not many turnstiles open...

    "The key to the game is the two wrist spinners. If they bowl well for Pakistan, they'll keep India in check with 20 overs of tight bowling. If not, there's a strong chance India can get away here and make a big total."

    There's four tiers to the big stands at the Adelaide Oval - one of them being hospitality - and they are packed with supporters all clad in their team's colours and waving flags. The Indian contingent cheer when Shikhar Dhawan dispatches Irfan to the boundary. Let's vote on who will win the match, shall we? See below.

    There's a bit of chat in the middle now. Haris Sohail and Shikhar Dhawan don't appear to be talking about the weather, and no doubt it won't be long before Virat Kohli weighs in with his thoughts. Pakistan will be pleased with this start.

  8. South Africa v Zimbabwepublished at 04:14 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    South African pair David Miller and JP Duminy are enjoying themselves now, regularly finding touch with the same accuracy as Ireland fly-half's Jonathan Sexton's trusty boot. The Hamilton crowd are loving the pair's big boundaries too, with many desperately trying to catch the little white ball and claim a nifty prize donated by the sponsors.

    More importantly, Miller and Duminy have expertly guided South Africa to 243-4 after 45 overs.

    And - fanfare please - they have set a new World Cup record in the process. Their 160-run partnership is a World Cup fifth wicket record, beating New Zealand pair Roger Twose and Chris Cairns' stand against Australia in 1999.

    "I think that came about by a bit of pressure created by the Pakistan bowlers. The pitch isn't doing much and apart from one long hop, they've bowled it pretty tight and India haven't got off to a flier. That's a poor shot and he's committed a mistake."

    Now it's time for the Pakistan supporters to make themselves heard in this incredible din. The boys in green strike for the first time when Rohit Sharma mistimes a pull shot and scoops a catch straight to Misbah at mid-off. Enter Virat Kohli.

    What a finale this is shaping up to be in Tauranga. New Zealand pair Rachel Priest and Amy Satterthwaite pass the ton mark in their partnership as the home side reach 170-1 in the third one day international. The White Ferns have nine wickets left as they chase 48 off 47 balls...

    Irfan is sending down a few rib-ticklers with two slips, a gully and a man just round the corner all waiting for a catch. You can't catch them in the stands though... Shikhar Dhawan sitting back in his crease and pulling a maximum into the square leg crowd. Nine from the over.

    "I wouldn't have missed this for anything. In fact, I've seen the Pakistan bowling and I fancy a bat. It's absolutely gentle, Mohammed Irfan is no more than medium pace."

    The noise and colour inside the Adelaide Oval is like an assault on the senses. If you're reading us from inside the ground, send us a picture. Or, equally, if you're watching in India or Pakistan, send us a picture of your view for the big game.

    Steady as you like from India, who are building a solid platform for their middle order. The pitch is a belter and 300 must be a minimum score today. Three singles in the over.

    "Mohammed Irfan is absolutely enormous. He reminds me of that character out of James Bond - Jaws. He doesn't have metal teeth, but I imagine facing him is probably equally as terrifying."

    "He timed the ears off that opening boundary Rohit Sharma. When he hits them, they stay hit."

  19. Ind 21-0 (Irfan 3-0-12-0)published at 03:56 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Rohit Sharma cracked 264 in a 50-over game at the back end of last year, and I don't think he played one loose shot. He's so correct in his technique and he has Swiss watch-style timing - emphasised when he clips Irfan through midwicket and to the boundary.

    That prompts the big man to go round the wicket. The umpire must think there's a herd of elephants behind him when this man mountain runs up to the wicket.

    Another boundary for Rohit, this time through the off side, makes it eight from the over.

    "Even on an early-morning flight from Melbourne, you knew something big was happening in Adelaide.

    "The seats were full of sky blue and bright green. A local taxi driver told me that tickets are changing hands for $750 (£380).

    "In the 39 degree heat, which I think is about gas mark one, Adelaide has been overrun in a carnival of cricket.

    "The Fringe Festival is on at the moment, but there is only show in town."
