Jay: I'd love for someone to ask KP to list some of the concrete things Colin Graves has done for Yorkshire.

With Pakistan attempting to defend a low total, we can expect plenty of bowling changes - and it's time for Rahat Ali to take over at the Cathedral End - also known as the end where the famous old scoreboard still sits (despite the redevelopment of the rest of the ground). Warner shows a taste for the unorthodox by slapping Rahat's first ball for four over extra cover with a horizontal bat.

"Steve Smith is so good at working the ball off his pads through that midwicket region. The perfect line to bowl to him is at a second off stump - you can't bowl at the stumps because he will work you into the on-side."

Warner gets a new giant axe brought out by the 12th man between overs. But Smith is off the mark with a well-timed wristy flick through square leg for four. A couple of singles mean it's six off the over and with a required run rate only a shade over four, that's just fine for Australia.

"Both the Pakistani bowlers are presenting the seam very well - they're giving the ball every chance to swing or move off that seam."

A spring in Pakistan's step as they shuttle round the Adelaide Oval between overs. Ehsan keeps it tight against Warner for most of the over, but the pugnacious left-hander eventually finds the gap between cover and backward point for a scampered two. He ends the over having what appears to be a staring contest with Umar Akmal.

Khal: Guys it's Misbah's 2015 not Imran's 1992, was different class of players then. Unfortunately Pakistan don't have the mental agility to handle pressure.

Steve Smith, now the golden boy of Australian cricket who won just about every award going at their recent Allan Border Medal ceremony, is in at three. He shows Sohail a straight bat and sees out the over.

"That's a poor review. It's obvious that Aaron Finch isn't sure where his stumps are at the moment. He had that fantastic innings against England in the first game but has struggled since then. It was good bowling from Sohail Khan, he stands the seam up nicely."

There's no inside edge, the ball-tracker shows it cannoning into middle and leg and Finch is back in the hutch. Game on.

Finch hit in front, umpire Dharmasena raises his finger straight away, and after a chat with his partner, Finch (who had only just got off the mark with a two through the covers) invokes the DRS...

"Pakistan have defended totals of 220 or fewer more often than any other teams in ODIs: a total of 58.

"Second are Australia with 51 and third New Zealand with 36."

Warner sees off the rest of the over, examining the toe-end of his axe-like bat between deliveries.

Aaron, Northamptonshire: It shocks me that England have fallen so far behind. With Graves saying Pietersen could be back and others saying he hasn't a chance and now Cook criticising the hierarchy, it shames the game, England need reeled in and chances need to be taken with other players.

Julian, Surrey: KP made himself unselectable by publishing a book in which he slags off his team-mates. I'd be asking him to publicly retract the whole thing and give the financial proceeds to charity before considering reinstatement if I was Colin Graves.

With the success of left-arm seamers at this World Cup, Pakistan will certainly rue having lost Junaid Khan and the giant Mohammad Irfan to injury. So for now, it's right-arm seam at both ends as Ehsan Adil takes the second over and after a two through mid-wicket, another attacking stroke from Warner flies off an edge past the slips for four. Don't expect this to go 50 overs.

"Warner looks like he's going to attack and not let the Pakistan bowlers settle. So far he's done a great job."

Left-hander Warner pushes the ball past the tumbling - or was that dawdling? - captain Misbah-ul-Haq at extra cover, and that's away for four. A three off his legs brings the chunky Aaron Finch on strike, there's a big appeal for lbw from Sohail but they decide against a review. Looked a bit high, and the ball-tracker says it would have been "umpire's call" for clipping the top of the bails, so the review would have been wasted.

Snookered 147: Against any team other than Pakistan 213 would be a doddle for Australia. I still expect an Aussie win but it could be tense.

DrHolmes: C'mon Pakistan show some fight Enough with the one-sided quarter-finals.

Sohail Khan takes the first over for Pakistan, and Aussie hearts are in mouths for the second ball of the innings as Warner gets a thick inside edge and nearly chops onto his stumps...

It might be interesting to see - if KP (hypothetically) does start tearing up Division Two, how certain pundits will react. I know at least one popular figure in the media has categorically stated a number of times that "Division Two runs don't count"... yet will he want KP back?

Anyway, away from the soap opera, we're ready to resume in Adelaide. Aaron Finch and David Warner striding out for Australia.
