Leclerc, over team radio, says: "Tomorrow is the race where we score points but today is a good beginning I will try to finish the job tomorrow."
A new track record of 1:27.866 from Charles Leclerc, who takes the first pole position of his career.
It's an all-Ferrari front row with Sebastian Vettel alongside him.
Mercedes came first and second in Australia, but Lewis Hamilton starts third with championship leader Valtteri Bottas in fourth.
Max Verstappen gets himself into fifth after a tricky qualifying with Kevin Magnussen in sixth.
An all-Ferrari front row at the moment.
Vettel moves second. Leclerc still on provisional pole, only Mercedes can deny him.
Vettel's lap incoming.
Magnussen was fourth after the first run, and has never started a race in the top three.
Two minutes left.

Leclerc has this to lose. So much pressure on him.

No times from Vettel or Verstappen after the first runs. Five minutes left.
Looks like just the one run for both Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel. All or nothing.
Provisional pole for Leclerc at the moment. Six minutes for that to change.
Charles Leclerc to the top now with a 1:27.958, 0.232 clear of Hamilton. And Vettel's time to come.
Not for long though, Lewis Hamilton with a 1:28.190. Ferrari making us wait.
Bottas with a 1:28.335, an early lead.
Bottas straight out there to get us going.
Anthony: This lad Lando Norris, very impressed. Also calling it for Leclerc for pole. He has been mighty all weekend and deserves it.
Simon: When was the last time McLaren beat both Red Bulls in qualy. Must be years?
Mal: Lando Norris has been sandbagging so far in Q1 and Q2, easy P1 for him in Q3 - Charles Leclerc has no chance
Q3 is under way. Ten minutes of drama.

Two Ferraris, two Mercedes, two Haas, two McLarens, one Red Bull, one Alfa Romeo.
You'd be brave to bet against a Ferrari front-row lockout.
Lady T: WOW, Mclaren have 2 cars in Q3. Alonso must be crying
Jeremiah: Ricciardo's poor start of the season continues.
Jacques: If @MercedesAMGF1, external were miles in front everyone would be moaning, but with @Ferrari, external being quick everyone doesn't seem to bat an eye?
Jeroen: Albon is moving up in the world. This time he not only out qualifies Kvyat - he is also ahead of Gasly.
