We have a resurgent Pakistan taking on Australia who have not been
very impressive in their warm-up games
Brett Lee has been selected by Australia for this match, should be

Looks like a hard wicket with a bit of grass and toss won by Waqar
and batting, wanting to put some runs on says Waqar
Wasim with a sore shoulder out and replaced by Shoaib Akhtar
We seem all set on a bright day at Cardiff as the crowd still
trying to get in, what contest coming up, hang on folk
