Pakistan's kit is very lime green, it's almost fluorescent, while India are in their traditional sky blue strip. Finally we have our first boundary when Shikhar Dhawan cuts a rank delivery from Sohail Khan to the boundary. The roof almost comes off the stadium.

"I can't imagine we've ever had 20,000 people before at this ground not going for Australia. They'll be strong bragging rights tonight to whichever set of supporters end up on the winning side."

Irfan - rather like a left-arm Chris Tremlett in style - continues and whistles a bouncer past the nose of Shikhar Dhawan. Just to reinforce this one... Irfan is 7ft 1in. Who's the tallest bowler you've ever faced? Are there any seven-footers in the Central Lancashire League?

It's a steady start from India, who are yet to find the boundary. Dhawan is a lucky boy when the extra bounce sees him spoon a catch towards gully but there's nobody there to snaffle it. It's as though Irfan is bowling with a child's bouncy ball.

We've not seen many boundaries from David Miller and JP Duminy, instead the pair precisely nudging ones and twos as South Africa steadied the ship following that earlier wobble. But the big-hitting Miller sniffs out a massive six - to the delight of the Hamilton crowd - before reaching his half-century a few moments later.

Miller and Duminy soon reach another landmark, passing their 100 partnership from 115 balls in the next over. South Africa are now 193-4 after 40 overs as Duminy also reaches his half-century.

"In England, we're used to sporting rivalries creating division, tension, even violence.

"Have a look at this. Before the latest episode in what is one of the biggest rivalries in sport, fans dance together, simply enjoying the occasion.

"Wonderful."

The nerves get to us all. Pakistan opening bowler Sohail Khan delivers his first ball - an inswinging yorker which is batted back - and he tries to review the not out decision. It didn't even hit the pad! Pakistan skipper Misbah had to step in to avoid his team losing their single review. Nice try, Sohail. Three from the over.

I'm still chuckling to myself about that attempted review.

Pakistan's man mountain, Mohammad Irfan, gets us under way with his left-arm seam from a height of 7ft 1ins. He's a big boy and the Indian batsmen have been preparing for him by putting a bowling machine on a table. Rohit Sharma picks up the first run of the game when he runs the ball past backward point, while Shikhar Dhawan is also off the mark with a single.

Game on! England women are well back into the one-day international across in Tauranga, slowing down the hosts who made a blistering start to their reply.

The White Ferns are now 121-1 after 31 overs, while England were 124-1 at the same stage on the way to 217-9. Anyone fancy calling this one? Nope, us neither.

"Go to Adelaide airport if you haven't got anywhere to stay tonight and are flying home tomorrow. They'll provide the entertainment and the accommodation for supporters as a thank you for visiting the city."

Here we go then. India batting first, and Pakistan will get first use of the new ball. The hopes of one billion people rest on this game. No pressure, lads.

I like that Farooq. Let's see what El Cricketo has in store for us today...

Ilyas Najib: I haven't slept a wink tonight, so pumped for the game, today we see the resumption of the biggest rivalry in world cricket.

Innocent Bystander: As an Englishman in the crowd at Adelaide, I feel more outnumbered than yesterday at the MCG!

Farooq: This El Classico of cricket belongs to Pakistan.

"It's a full house. It's an extraordinary, feverish atmosphere. It's an extremely hot day too, 35 degrees when we landed here early this morning, let alone what it is now."

Here we go then. The two sides walk out to the middle side by side, ready for the national anthems. The World Cup trophy sits on a podium, glistening in the burning Adelaide sun.

So, they're saying one billion people will be watching this game today. By my rough calculations, that means one person in every seven will be watching this around the globe. HUGE.

If we can get even half that amount clicking into this live text page, my boss will make our brews at work for life.
