West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialEvery time Shaheen gets the ball, he delivers absolute rockets. He swings the ball big and he has a happy knack of getting a wicket in the first over.

Right, the anthems are over and we are nearly ready. It looks fantastic under the lights in Dubai as KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma stroll to the wicket.

India v Pakistan (15:00 BST)
India have won their last 12 meetings with Pakistan in differing World Cup tournaments, but on paper there does not look much between tonight's teams.
They are both out on the field in Dubai as the national anthems are played, with Pakistan's on first.
