Taunton today....weather permitting of course! Would prefer both to lose, failing that, a narrow Pakistan win
 
Let's hope the weather allows a decent amount of play. It should be a good game.
 
Looking like a much better forecast today.

Here’s hoping for a classic David Warner 52 off 83 deliveries that Sarfaraz and co chase down with ease!
 
Pakistan elected to bowl first

Australia 60-0 after 11 overs
 
Yes, the Aussies are at 140 without losing a wicket at just under seven an over. Pakistan living up to their reputation of being ridiculously inconsistent - they look like a different team from the one that played England.
 
400 looking possible, unless Pakistan pull themselves together.
 
Warner 104 NO.
Pakistan just dropped him.
Pakistan awful in the field.
 
Pakistan have pulled it back a bit. Looking more like 350 than 400 now.
 
I think this says a bit more about Australia’s fragility rather than super stuff from Pakistan. Easy dismissals and a struggle to accelerate (and stay in) after losing the opening two.

The Windies exposed them too. India and England could look to do a real number on them.
 
Great bowling from Amir, but 140-0 and 'only' getting 300 all out with an over to spare will disappoint the sandpaper fiddlers.

Might be a good chase if Pakistan get off to a good start.
 
110-2 after 20 overs

Rrr 5.5 currently
 
There’s an ajar door here for Pakistan. Keep Imam and Hafeez there for as long as possible and they could cause something here. I fear they could crumble should they lose one or two but 198 needed in 30 overs is definitely possible.
 
128-2 after 24 overs

Slowly chipping away rrr .02 down too
 
What do the say? ‘Add two wickets to your score and then review whether it’s a good score or not!’

Two quick wickets for the Aussies and Pakistan have to start all over again.
