    My wife has gone out leaving me in charge of 1 year old twins and 5 year old twins... Managed to get 1 year olds to sleep... Now how to entertain the older twins... I wonder if they'll like cricket....?

    England are favourites. Pakistan will be looking for wickets while England will be looking to take this game as deep as possible.

  5. Eng 77-3

    Target 138

    10 overs complete. We have a game. Whatever happens from now, the winners will be crowned today. DLS par is 65.

    The worm shows England are nine runs ahead of Pakistan. England are 77 for 3 after 10 overs. At the same stage Pakistan were 68 for 2.BBC Sport

    That is a poor ball from Mohammad Wasim. Ben Stokes just had to pick his gap and he did it.

  7. Eng 76-3

    Target 138

    Four! Full toss, driven by Stokes past the dive of deep point.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is the attitude that India didn't show in the semi-final against England. Pakistan are diving on top of everything.

  9. Eng 72-3

    Target 138

    Told you about that DJ. Music still going as Wasim runs in, forcing Stokes to pull away.

  10. Daniel Norcross

    The required run-rate feels paltry, but it doesn't feel as straightforward as that.

  11. Eng 70-3

    Target 138

    There's a decent collection of seagulls on the MCG outfield. A Brook edge almost claims the life of one.

  12. Eng 69-3

    Target 138

    Hang on, I think Haris has gone off again. I might just park Haris-watch for now.

    The worm shows England are 10 runs ahead of Pakistan. England are 69 for 3 after 9 overs. At the same stage Pakistan were 59 for 2.BBC Sport

  13. Eng 67-3

    Target 138

    Bonus boundary! Stokes trying to reverse sweep Shadab, with an under edge going past the keeper for four.

  14. Eng 61-3

    Target 138

    That's an awful birthday present.

    Haris Rauf is back on the field.

    Listening from the hospital this morning, after getting admitted with pancreatitis in the middle of my 40th birthday party. Was hoping for a slightly less stressful end to the match after England's amazing bowling performance, but they couldn't possibly make it easy, could they?! Thanks for keeping me occupied anyway!!

    Speaking of pain...

  17. Daniel Norcross

    Harry Brook is in a little bit of pain here.

  18. Eng 61-3

    Target 138

    DLS par at this stage is 55. It's not raining. Brook is having treatment after being hit on the elbow.

    You also feel like this is Ben Stokes' perfect situation because there isn't any scoreboard pressure.

  20. Eng 61-3

    Target 138

    Brook is happy to use his feet to the pacers. A couple hacked up towards long-on. England building a stand.
