Australia vs Pakistan, 1st ODI Highlights: Australia beat Pakistan by 2 wickets

Pat Cummins to Mohammad Rizwan, Cummins starts off full and on off, Rizwan gets his bat out in front and knocks it to the left of mid on for a single.

Mitchell Starc is in for a chat during the break. He says that they have got a nice start and it was good to get a couple of wickets in the first Powerplay. Shares that the wicket is a bit two-paced but is still a nice wicket and they will aim to take a few more wickets to make it hard.

DRINKS! Australia have managed to keep things tight, reaping the rewards by dismissing both openers early on. However, with Babar Azam looking in fine form at the crease, they’ll be keen to break this developing partnership before it can settle any further. The ground fielding, though, hasn't been up to the mark and it’s bound to be a point of discussion during this break. For Pakistan, much now rests on this reliable pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who have so often taken on the responsibility of building a solid partnership and steering their team out of early trouble.
