Australia move from 10th to 4th. That’s a pretty good few days, wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan getting their World Cup campaign on track at last. Their next assignment is the Dutch on Wednesday in Delhi, a game they cannot take lightly after South Africa were caught short by them. As for Pakistan, who registered a couple of wins to begin, they need to get back on the horse right away against rivals Afghanistan at Chennai on Monday after dropping two on the trot.

Righto, that’s me done. Thanks for your company and make sure you return to the OBO tomorrow morning for England vs South Africa at the Wankhede. Bye!

David Warner is player of the match for his 162

Pakistan were in the hunt deep into the chase. But losing their last five wickets for 33, well, that’s the story in a nutshell. Everything must go right to chase 368.

Dave Warner joins Simon Doull. To begin, says his groin niggle, which prevented him from fielding, isn’t that serious – some cramping. “I felt like I was a little bit of luck away” from getting into the tournament – and that’s what he got when dropped on 10. But boy, didn’t he make the most of it putting on 259 with Marsh.
