Australia vs Pakistan, 1st ODI, Live Updates: Pakistan In Trouble, Lose Early Wicket vs Australia

Australia vs Pakistan 1st ODI, Live Updates: Pakistan have lost an early wicket of Saim Ayub, who got dismissed for one by Mitchell Starc. Currently, Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam are standing unbeaten at the crease. Australia skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl in the first ODI of the three-match series against Pakistan in Melbourne on Monday. With Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head on paternity leave, world champions Australia have a new-look opening partnership in Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matt Short. In Pakistan's first 50-over game since last year's World Cup, Mohammad Rizwan captains the side after Babar Azam stepped down last month. (Live Scorecard)

No run.

No run.

Nice looking shot from Babar Azam! A bit fuller and on off, Babar Azam drives it to cover and sets off for the run. The fielder collects the ball and has a shy at the bowling end with Starc not backing up which allows Babar to get off the mark with an extra run.

Lands it on a good length and on middle and off, Babar Azam covers the line and pushes it back to the bowler.

Babar Azam walks in at number 3.

OUT! TIMBER! Starc gets rid of the debutant! This will set the perfect tone for Australia. Saim Ayub has to walk back for just 1 run! Starc hurls it on a length, just outside off, tempting the batter to push ahead and play at it. Gets the ball to nip back in a bit and it catches an inside edge that rockets back into the off stump. Pakistan are rocked early and are 3/1. Starc gets his 100th ODI wicket on home soil.

Attacks the stumps, on a hard length, Saim Ayub gets right behind and keeps it out with a straight bat.

On a good length, on off, Saim Ayub dabs it out to the off side off the back foot.

Gets a good bounce on this one does Starc!
