They are all going to be flat tracks. That's the England plan, so every other nation could have seen this coming years ago.

NCN got some wickets in one warm-up match, but otherwise has been cannon fodder in all matches, not just the last one. I can't remember when he last bowled economically.

Pakistan win toss, bowl!

Pakistan may be rusty, because their last game was washed out.
These may be helpful conditions for bowlers.

Oz have gone for pace: K. Richardson in, Zampa out.
Marsh is in for the injured Stoinis.

Odds: Oz 64%, Pakistan 36%.

The much-discussed Warner is away with a 4.

Another play and miss by Finch.
...

And again next over!

Finch hits his 100th ODI 6, a pull over square leg.

And now Warner pulls for 4.

Too short from Shaheen. 17 runs from the over.

After that big over, the line is now 324.5.

Some problems for Finch, though. Another play and miss. And another maiden.

Odds: Oz 68%, Pakistan 32%.

Another play and miss from Finch. Wahab the bowler this time.

Oz 0/51 (9.1).

Warner is scoring much more freely than in previous games.

The TV commentators are lining up to criticize the lack of spinners in the two sides. Should we punt on Maxwell to get a couple of wickets?

What a clever bowler is Mohammad Amir. Imagine where he'd be, now, rating wise, without his 5 year ban.

LBW appeal! Not out! Reviewed!

Umpire's call! Finch survives!

The commentators were wrong. They thought it was pitching outside leg. It wasn't.
...

Now Finch is hit by a short ball. This is like Wahab vs. Watson.
...

And then nearly a run out. Finch had to dive.

An eventful over.
