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.

Salman Ali Agha to Marnus Labuschagne. Off break length ball, off stump down the track working, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Jamal. That will be Stumps on Day 1. Australian batters were sticking with their plan to go without getting out today, and they would likely score a big to put a solid target. Pakistan bowlers would have to plan to wrap the host. Do join us tomorrow for Day 2 action.
