  1. Pak 131-0published at 20 overs

    Target 368

    Gorgeous, just gorgeous from Imam-ul-Haq.

    He uses his feet and then hits an elegant checked drive up and over cover for four more.

    That's a very aesthetically pleasing shot.

  2. Pak 124-0published at 19.2 overs

    Target 368

    Abdullah Shafique starts the Glenn Maxwell over with two boundaries - there's the eight needed from the over.

    Shafique skips down and slices the first high over the off side before it spins away behind square.

    The next is hammered, all along the ground, back past Maxwell. Super shot.

    Australia's spinners are doing a reasonable job going at around five an over.

    Pakistan could do with a few more of these with the required rate starting to creep up...

    Despire this start, Australia still remain favourites according to Winviz.

    With Adam Zampa bowling and Imam-ul-Haq batting we have the unusual feat of bowler and batter both wearing glasses.

  7. Pak 116-0published at 19 overs

    Target 368

    Adam Zampa gets away with a poor ball, dragged short and heading down leg, to end the over.

    Abdullah Shafique went after it but could only get an edge onto his thigh to send the ball looping over Josh Inglis behind the stumps for a single. One of four in the over.

    The required rate is now up to 8.12 an over.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Imam-ul-Haqpublished at 18 overs

    Pak 112-0

    Imam-ul-Haq joins Abdullah Shafique in going to fifty in the over.

    He does so with a boundary, just clipped off his pads and past short fine leg. Fitting given his innings has been all about timing so far.

  10. dropped catch

    Imam-ul-Haq dropped on 48published at 17.2 overs

    Pak 106-0

    Another catch goes down!

    Imam-ul-Haq pulls firmly after a long hop from Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins puts down a regulation chance at mid-wicket.

    It went quickly, just above his head but he'd expect to take that 99 times out of 100. This just happened to be the one.

    Pakistan need to just stay in the hunt and stay in the chase. Keep themselves up and around the rate.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Abdullah Shafiquepublished at 17.1 overs

    Pak 105-0

    Adbullah Shafique pushes a single to go to his half-century from 52 balls.

    That's the right-hander's second ODI fifty to go with one century.

    Pakistan will need plenty more from him as they go for this record chase.

  13. Pak 104-0published at 17 overs

    Target 368

    Drag down from Adam Zampa to end the over and Imam-ul-Haq gratefully accepts the gift, cutting the ball down to deep third for four.

    Nothing to trouble the umpires yet with DRS seemingly out of action for now.

  14. Pak 98-0published at 16.2 overs

    Target 368

    We got a brief delay as the umpires gather and have a word with the batters and Pat Cummins.

    The suggestion is that DRS is down at the moment so the umpire's decision will be final. Old school cricket coming up.

  15. Pak 97-0published at 16 overs

    Target 368

    Solid from Glenn Maxwell. Three singles from the over as Pakistan's openers get themselves settled again after drinks.

    At the same stage, Australia were 134-0 so Pakistan will need to kick on again at some stage.

  16. Postpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 20 October 2023

    More spin to get us started after drinks. Glenn Maxwell is coming on to bowl his off-spin.

    Disappointed as Australia will be about that, it did result in an entry for both the sport and nature photograph of the year awards...

    Australia will feel they should have made the breakthrough but sub fielder Sean Abbott put down the catch to give Abdullah Shafique a life a few overs back...

  19. drinks break

    Pak 94-0published at 15 overs

    Shafique 45, Imam 42

    We saw a bit of grip and turn for the Pakistan spinners earlier and Adam Zampa has started well for Australia, suggesting that has continued.

    Four from his latest and it's time for drinks.

    Long and handsome from Abdullah Shafique! That has just about made it over the rope.
