Over-by-over report: The two old rivals go head-to-head at the MCG. Join Geoff Lemon for updates.

Babar thinks that 160 could be competitive – could be right, given the MCG pitch is often a bit slow, and the boundaries are so big. The fireworks go off – the literal ones – and the bowl of the MCG is filled with smoke. Rizwan leaves the first ball outside off, but the second leaps alarmingly at him and smashes him on the glove! Arshdeep bowls left-arm over the wicket, swings the ball into the pads of Babar Azam, and it hits him in line with middle and leg. Cuts the ball off the seam twice to start with, at 140 kph on a hard length, and Masood can’t do a thing with it. The batters have a couple of heaves but don’t quite nail their timing, and the boundary is so distant they can’t get there. And the next ball. Over long-on this time, straighter, after he advances and meets the pitch of the ball. And a carbon copy to end the over. 15th over: Pakistan 106-5 (Shan Masood 30, Mohammad Nawaz 1) Finally Masood does get back on strike, and tries to get on with the game. That’s the definition of a cameo. Arshdeep Singh bowled so well to start the innings, and carries it on here.

The crowd thorughly behind the men in blue signing the Anthem with pride and smiles. With big boundaries, Chahal could have fancied his chances but Ashwin has the experience of big matches and can make a difference with the variety. Think the ball will swing around a bit, and we need to take its advantage. Bowling close to the off-stump line, Arshdeep got Rizwan to play and after hitting the lengths, he surprised Rizwan with a short ball. Hardik Pandya has been introduced in the attack and the all-rounder has gone a touch expensive but has mixed his lengths well. In the last T20 World Cup, a certain Shaheen Shah Afridi did the same by bringing the ball in and trapping Rohit Sharma. A good toss to win and the Indian new ball bowlers are putting their skills to good use. It was an excellent set-up to dismiss Rizwan as the left-arm pace troubled the batsman with pace and consistently pegging the off-line. Lived by the sword and died by it. The India skipper unleashes Mohammed Shami who came back into the attack and pinned Iftikhar in front of the stumps to swing the momentum back in India’s favour. It’s India vs Pakistan and we are all set in what promises to be a Super Sunday. However, Hardik picked his third wicket and boy what a year the all-rounder is having.

India will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign on Sunday night, with a clash against heated rival Pakistan set for the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

0 - 3 Rizwan flicks the ball fine for a boundary off the final ball of the over. 3rd over: Kumar continues for India and he clips Masood on the thighpad, before an LBW appeal is turned down by the umpire. Rizwan top-edges the ball and it falls just short of a diving Virat Kohli at mid-on. Iftikhar Ahmed gets off the mark with a flick through the leg-side for two runs, before hitting a boundary with a pull-shot through mid-wicket. Pandya drops it short and Iftikhar pounces on it with a hook shot for three runs. Ifitkhar makes it three from four balls, sending it over the rope for six more runs. 13th over: Shadab Khan gets off the market with a beautiful off-drive for a boundary, taking advantage of an over-pitched delivery from Shami. Panyda digs the ball in shorter and cramps Nawaz for room, who edges it to the keeper and is sent packing. The Pakistan batsman can't evade the ball despite attempting to duck under it, with the ball landing safely in the hands of Dinesh Karthik.

Shaheen Shah Afridi starts with a yorker. Defended by Rahul. Another full ball, squirted away for one. Some discarded crowd '4' and '6' cards have floated ...

He dabs the ball to mid off and sets off on a deeply suspect run. That said, in a high pressure game sometimes it is good to have the runs on the board. Last ball of the over is a swinging full toss. Shan Masood is the new man and the pressure is really starting to tell. Iftikhar, the new man, able to tuck off the pads for a couple. Manages to get the ball to the keeper. Iftikhar knocks the ball into the outfield for three and he's got a vital, possibly game-changing, 50. Yadav tried to run the ball to third man, too close to the body for it, and he edges behind. Getting the ball to just shape back in from over the wicket. Magnificent from Kohli as he pulls the ball hard and true for a one-bounce four. He has slotted the ball down the ground for six, and now followed it up with a flick over fine leg. That meant that Rauf overpitched for the following ball, and Kohli could flick it to fine leg.
