An eventful first over, to say the least!

Shaheen Afridi is celebrating again, he thinks he's got Mitchell Marsh caught down the leg side.
Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps shrugs his shoulders and Pakistan don't risk another review.
Good decision, replays show it just flicked the pad.

Not outpublished at 0.1 overs
Yep. A huge inside edge sends the ball onto his thigh pad.
That suggests that even without the bat involved, it would have gone well over the top.
The excitement among the Pakistan players there was slightly surprising.

It is high but that's not the main issue...

Pakistan reviewpublished at 0.1 overs
Shaheen Afridi hits David Warner on the pad first ball and there's a big appeal for lbw.
It looked pretty high but Pakistan are going for the review.
Feels ambitious.

That said, there was a loud shout of "Pakistan Zindabad!" just after the Pakistan national anthem.

"The way we played against Sri Lanka was close to our best and it's about doubling down on that. We go with the same side and everyone is good to go."

Pakistan captain Babar Azam: "The pitch looks very good and we'll try to take advantage in the second innings.
"We've had a couple of good sessions in the last couple of days which have given us confidence coming into this game.
"In the batting, we were not up to the mark against India so we'll do our best to do better in this one.
"One change: Shadab is not playing, Usama Mir is playing. We just want to try a different combination."

Pat Cummins says he would have done the same.

Good morning!
We're still a little way off the halfway stage of this World Cup but it is already crunch time for Australia.
The five-time winners take on Pakistan today and defeat would leave their qualification hopes in tatters.
After losing to India and South Africa, Pat Cummins' side bounced back to beat Sri Lanka.
Pakistan will be hoping for a similar response after their heavy defeat by India. Victory today would take them to within two points of table-topping New Zealand.
