4.6 overs (0 Run) A dot to end! Good carry for the bowler. Outside off, left alone.

4.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Whacked away! Shorter in length and on middle, Iftikhar Ahmed drags it wide of the fielder at mid on and finds the boundary. Positive start for Iftikhar Ahmed!

4.4 overs (0 Run) Outswinger but outside off, left alone.

4.3 overs (2 Runs) Two more! On middle, Iftikhar Ahmed works it through mid-wicket and takes two. He is off the mark. Played that well. Was quick to get the front pad out of the way.

4.2 overs (3 Runs) Three more! Shorter and on the body, Masood pulls it through square leg, long boundary and hence, does not go all the way. Three taken.

4.1 overs (0 Run) Shorter and angling away from off. Masood looks to cut but misses.

Iftikhar Ahmed is the new man in. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to continue.

3.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! TOP EDGE AND TAKEN THIS TIME! Arshdeep Singh is pumped up! He has got two of the best Pakistan batters in this line-up. Really smart bowling, takes Rizwan by surprise by bowling a bumper on middle. It gets big on Rizwan who is probably on the front foot for the fuller ones. He still looks to pull but it goes off the top edge and goes straight to fine leg where Kumar makes no mistake. Pakistan in deep trouble now.

3.5 overs (0 Run) In the end... it lands short! On the pads, Rizwan looks to flick, this holds in the surface a touch and it goes off the leading edge towards mid on. Kohli runs in and dives forward but it lands short.

3.4 overs (0 Run) BEATEN AGAIN! This is top class pace bowling! Yet again, it begins on middle and then shapes away. Rizwan is beaten as he tries to block.

3.3 overs (0 Run) BEATEN! This lands on a length, it pitches and then moves away. Rizwan is beaten as he tries to defend.

3.2 overs (1 Run) Now follows the boundary with one! On the pads, this is worked towards square leg for one.

3.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Tickled away nicely! Have to believe Masood will be the apt batter for Pakistan in these conditions having played a lot of cricket in England. He plays this well. Lets the ball come to him, it is on the pads. It is worked fine to the fine leg fence. Welcome boundary.

2.6 overs (0 Run) Another yes and no situation but no harm done! On the pads, Rizwan looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and rolls towards mid-wicket. Rizwan wants a run but is sent back. Another testing over comes to an end.

2.5 overs (1 Run) Mix-up but a single in the end! Another yorker on middle, Masood jams it out towards square leg. They think of a run but then stop, eventually go for it and complete it.

2.4 overs (0 Run) Another one hits the pad! On the pads. Masood looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

2.3 overs (2 Runs) That is a jaffa! Well played in the end! A yorker, that tails back in late from off. Masood somehow gets bat on ball, it goes off the inside half down to fine leg for two. Very tough for the batters, the good thing for Pakistan is, the two are surviving for now.

2.2 overs (0 Run) Another appeal but turned down! Missing leg probably. This begins around middle and leg and comes back in. Masood looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

2.1 overs (0 Run) Outstanding bowling! Length and on middle, this one jags back in. Masood looks to flick but misses to get hit high on the pads.

2.1 overs (1 Run) WIDE! This is short and wide outside off, swings away furuther. Masood slashes but misses. Wided.

1.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! The last ball releases a little pressure that was building. Nicely played by Rizwan. He is aware about the ball coming back in and hence does not plant his front foot across. Arshdeep Singh goes for the inswinging yorker but ends up bowling a full toss. It is worked down to fine leg for a boundary. First of the game.

1.5 overs (1 Run) Run out chance goes abegging! How did Virat Kohli miss from there? Shan Masood, what were you just doing? Clear signs of nerves. There was never a run there. In the end though, he made it in. On off, this is pushed towards mid off and Masood takes off. Kohli picks the ball up and he is quite close to the stumps. He has a shy but misses. Masood was nowhere in the picture. Kohli probably had more time than he thought. Masood though is off the mark and that should settle the nerves for him too.

1.4 overs (0 Run) BEATEN AGAIN! Now goes back to taking it away. This is a little wider outside off. Masood goes after it but misses.

1.3 overs (0 Run) Outstanding from Arshdeep Singh and this is very tough for Pakistan. Especially against two bowlers who can swing the ball both the ways! This is on off and he brings it back in this time. It comes in way too much. Masood looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

1.2 overs (0 Run) BEATEN! That is a beauty! Lovely away shape! It is on a length and around off, moves away. Masood is beaten as he tries to defend.

Shan Masood walks in at number 3.

1.1 overs (0 Run) A HUGE APPEAL AND THE FINGER IS RAISED! Babar has a first-baller or does he? He has taken it upstairs but that looks out. Ultra Edge shows no bat and now it is time for Ball Tracking and it shows THREE REDS! OUT! Babar does walk back on the very first ball he faces and the crowd here erupts. That is a body blow for Pakistan. Their skipper walks back for a duck and this is a tremendous start for India and Arshdeep Singh who is playing his first World Cup game. He gets probably the best batter in Pakistan's line-up. We have seen Azam having problems against a left-arm seamer who brings the ball back in and that is case here again. Arshdeep starts on middle and gets it to tail back in. Bowls it full and lets the ball do its part. Azam plants his front foot a little too across and then tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout and the finger is raised.

Who will bowl from the other end? It is Arshdeep Singh.

0.6 over (0 Run) A superb start by Kumar! Half an appeal on the last ball but turned down! Length and outside off, Rizwan looks to defend by stepping outside the line of off. He misses to get hit on the pads.

0.6 over (1 Run) WIDE! That is outstanding from Dinesh Karthik! Just brilliant. Kumar looks to bring the ball back in but bowls it down the leg side. This swings away even further after going past the batter. Dinesh Karthik dives to his left and stops it brilliantly. Saves four for his side. Pakistan though are underway courtesy the extra.

0.5 over (0 Run) Swing and a miss again! Yet again Rizwan plays that well away from his body. This one swings away, it is well outside off. Rizwan slashes but misses.

0.4 over (0 Run) Tidy from Kumar so far! Another one on a length and on off, defended.

0.3 over (0 Run) BEATEN! That is loose from Rizwan. That was well away from his body. Too early probably to play something like that! Shorter and outside off, Rizwan goes after it but with no foot movement. He is beaten.

Mohammad Rizwan gets hit on his right thumb. He is feeling the pain. The physio is out.

0.2 over (0 Run) That is nasty! Rizwan is in pain. That ball has taken off. On a length and around off, this lands and there is extra bounce. Rizwan is hit on the glove as he tries to defend.

0.1 over (0 Run) That is a beauty to begin with! Some shape away for Kumar! It is on a length and just outside off. Left alone.

The look on Rohit's face after the anthem shows what it means to play for the country. This is more than just a game. India versus Pakistan. The stage is all set. The good thing is there is no sign of rain at the moment. The Indian players are out in the middle. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are the openers for Pakistan. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to find some swing as he will start with the ball. HERE WE GO...

We are just moments away from the action. The match officials walk out. They are followed by the two-set of players. Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam lead their respective team. It will be national anthems first. Pakistan's first followed by India's.

Hardik Pandya is up for a chat. He says he is excited and it's fantastic to play under such a crowd. Adds he has fond memories of playing in Australia. Shares that his body is fine and informs he will bowl later. Reckons they are playing international cricket and there are certain standards here. They are ready to face Pakistan.

PAKISTAN (Playing XI) - Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Shan Masood, Shadab Khan, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Asif Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf.

INDIA (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh.

Babar Azam, the skipper of Pakistan says they wanted to bowl first too but the toss is not in their hands and now they'll try and bat well. Mentions they have prepared well, they had a good series in New Zealand and are looking forward to do well here. Informs about the combination of his side.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India. He says it looks like a good pitch, there is grass covering but he's not sure how helpful will it be with the overcast conditions, it might swing. Adds the preparation has been good, they have been here for some time and have prepared well. He hopes they can entertain the massive crowd here. Informs about his side.

TOSS - The MCG roars as both captains walk out for the toss. Up goes the coin and it lands in favour of INDIA. THEY WILL BOWL FIRST!

PITCH REPORT - Ian Smith says there are big square boundaries and the good thing is the sun is out now. Michael Clarke says the pitch is hard and has a nice green covering. Adds the opening batters need to be careful due to the early swing and the captain winning the toss will look to bat first.
