  1. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Mitch Marsh has been out five times to a leg-spinner now in international cricket and averages just 15 against them.

  2. Enter Steven Peter Devereux Smith...

  3. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Mitch Marsh was done by the extra bounce - that is what made him top edge it.

  4. Jonathan Agnew

    It is always dangerous to try and club it against the leg-spinner because of the extra bounce that they get. Asif Ali clutched on for dear life.

    WICKET

    Marsh c Asif b Shadab 28 (Aus 52-2)

    Gone! Shadab strikes. The Pakistan leg-spinner is mobbed by his team-mates who look right up for the contest.

    Mitchell Marsh tried to heave away another boundary but a top edge proves to be his downfall. It's a good catch from Asif Ali running in off the boundary because went a long way up.

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It was a good powerplay from Australia - they have probably just got their noses ahead in the game.

  7. The powerplay is done so here comes Pakistan's leg-spinner Shadab Khan.

  8. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    If there is a weak link in the Pakistan bowling line-up then it has been Hassan Ali in this World Cup. If there was a bowler you could go after it would be him.

    Australia are just in front at the moment.

  9. Aus 52-1

    Need 125 from 84 balls

    Babar makes a clear point of applauding a Hassan Ali dot ball. There haven't been many of those in the last 10 minutes.

    Steve Smith is watching on, fidgety as ever. You probably didn't need me to tell you that.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    Hassan Ali pulled a bit of face there. He was unhappy with that ball.

  11. Aus 49-1

    Hassan Ali comes on but fails to stop the flow of runs as Marsh whips him over the leg side for four.

    The Aussies are favourites, according to Win Predictor.

  12. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia have gone more hell for leather in the powerplay than Pakistan. The wicket of David Warner is going to be massive.

  13. Aus 44-1

    Warner 21, Marsh 22

    Australia are up with the required scoring rate which, given the first over only cost one run, is some effort.

  14. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    This is the test for Babar Azam - a youngish captain, his first taste of tournament cricket...

  15. Aus 40-1

    Edged but four! At Rauf's pace there's no stopping that, despite more protests from Babar.

  16. 6 runs

    Aus 36-1

    That opening over feels a long time ago now. The Aussies are on the charge as Mitchell Marsh cracks Haris Rauf's first ball for a flat six.

    It's quiet in Dubai.

  17. Aus 30-1

    Target 177

    17 runs from the over. David Warner looks in the mood all of a sudden. We've got a contest on our hands.

  18. Aus 28-1

    Four more. Babar isn't happy. He's barking instructions at the bowler.

  19. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Imad Wasim is getting some serious treatment.

  20. Aus 24-1

    Back-to-back boundaries for David Warner! Now he cracks a cut off his stumps through the off side.

    Imad grimaces. Babar is stomping. A first hint of pressure on Pakistan.
