Follow live coverage of Australia vs Oman from the 20/20 World Cup today.

The ICC Test Championship sees nine teams compete across a two-year cycle of matches before a two-team final decides the winner. The inaugural competition was won by New Zealand after a thrilling victory over India in June 2021.

The 50-over World Cup is far older and has been competed for since back in 1975. Australia are the record winners having run out victorious on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.

The shortest form of the game sees teams compete in Twenty20. The newest format has been an instant global hit with a number of hugely-lucrative competitions massively popular all over the world. Australia are reigning world champions having taken victory in the 2021 tournament.

OUT! Run Out. Bilal Khan to Tim David. Full toss, outside off stump moves in front Slog, in the air uncontrolled to long on for 1 run, fielded by Khan, by Athavale. Run out! That brings the first innings to an end. Australia have posted a good score on board on a slow pitch. Marcus Stoins changed the momentum by playing a brilliant knock of 67 off 36 balls. David Warner anchored the innings with a fine fifty. Mehran Khan picked up two wickets but got smashed for 26 runs in his last over. Join us for the run chase in a while.
