    Javed Khaliq: Will someone inform the Pakistani team that 'catches win matches' and that's the reason they won't win the World Cup.

    Six more!

    Short from Haris Rauf and Mitchell Marsh rocks back and smashes the ball over the leg side and into the stands.

    David Warner has developed this kind of scoop shot where he gets under the ball. No attempt to get it through the field or pick the gap, just to get the elevation.

  4. 6 runs

    Aus 109-0published at 13.1 overs

    David Warner has done it again. It's the scoop-sweep over fine leg for six, nowhere near as big as the first but it still comfortably clears the field on the rope.

    Haris Rauf is not having a good day...

    Aamer Iqbal: What is the highest ever score in World Cup cricket? Could be under threat today with this start and the poor level of bowling on show from Pakistan.

  6. Aus 103-0published at 13 overs

    Warner 54, Marsh 42

    Three singles end the over but Pakistan just cannot stem the flow of runs.

    With both Australia openers well set now, this could be a long 50 overs in the field for Babar Azam's men.

    50 for David Warnerpublished at 12.3 overs

    Aus 100-0

    After two good balls to start the over, Usama Mir offers up a full toss that David Warner whips through the leg side for four.

    That takes him to his half-century from just 39 balls. He's made the most of that early life to reach his 32nd ODI fifty.

    Not a great over from Haris Rauf but it was at least less expensive than his first...

  9. Aus 96-0published at 12 overs

    Haris Rauf must have been fearing the worst when the first ball of his over is laced over point by Mitchell Marsh for four.

    But the fast bowler comes back well with just four from the next five balls.

    Australia are still going at eight and over.

    What a hit this was from David Warner! A humongous six...

  11. Aus 88-0published at 11 overs

    That's a pretty good first over from Usama Mir but, as anyone who has ever bowled wrist-spin will attest, even in a decent over, a bad ball can come out.

    That's what happens here, a touch too short and slightly too wide. That all David Warner needs to be able to cut behind square for four.

    Ilyas Najib: The Pakistani team are paying the price for playing so much T20 cricket and not resting players, sadly the bowlers look a shadow of their former selves.

    After his increasingly costly dropped catch, Usama Mir has a chance to try and make amends as he comes into the attack.

    Can the leggie make the breakthrough?

    Mitchell Marsh is batting as though he's in his back garden.

  15. Aus 82-0published at 10 overs

    Warner 40, Marsh 35

    A dot ball to end the powerplay but that is another expensive over.

    Mitchell Marsh added back-to-back boundaries through the off side following the David Warner six and Pakistan are up against it.

    It's too early to say the wheels have come off but they're certainly looking a bit loose...

    Six!

    Too short from Iftikhar Ahmed and David Warner wallops it over deep mid-wicket and into the crowd.

    It's measured at 86m - not bad but that's tiny compared to his previous effort...

    That is 24 runs off the over and Haris Rauf has been dissembled like a Meccano set.

  18. Aus 67-0published at 9 overs

    Haris Rauf is going the distance here - 24 from the over!

    As well as that mammoth six for David Warner, there is a wide and four fours, including three in a row from Mitchell Marsh to end it.

    The first is a brilliant straight drive and the next two are cut away behind square.

    Australia are flying.

  19. How's stat?!published at 10:12 British Summer Time 20 October 2023

    That six from David Warner was officially recorded as 98m which is the second biggest of the World Cup so far.

    David Warner has hit the roof! That has hit the roof! Extraordinary elevation. He's come up and under the ball and hits the cladding of the roof. Had it not hit the roof it might have been a record for distance. That is a monster hit.
