Lovely length, just a bit full and on off stump, this one pitches and seams away off the deck. Aqib Ilyas is drawn forward but the ball isn't all that full and the seam movement means the outside edge is found.

Nathan Ellis dishes out the quicker one again and bowls it full on middle, angling it back in. Kashyap Prajapati looks to clear the front leg and heave across the line but seems to be beaten on the inside edge. The third umpire is called in and there's no bat involved as Ball Tracking comes up with umpire's call on the wickets and the onfield decision will stand.

Another slower one but this is pitched up on the stumps, Kashyap Prajapati watchfully blocks it off.

Ilyas wants the run but is left stranded midway on the crease. Travis Head there picks up the ball but ends up just lobbing a throw at the keeper's end which Matthew Wade is unable to collect. Glenn Maxwell who is backing up pick up the ball and under-arms it on the stumps. The replays though show that Ilyas had made it back by then.

FOUR! Mid off was well wide but that is a lovely shot from Aqib Ilyas. Pitched up around off stump, Ilyas just leans on and strokes it with the full face of the bat down to the long off fence for a boundary.

That should have been put away! Full and wide outside off, a low full toss, Aqib Ilyas reaches out and slaps it straight to the man at cover-point.

Back of a length and on a tight line around off stump, Kashyap Prajapati stands tall and taps it down to backward point.

On a good length and in the channel outside off stump, Kashyap Prajapati watches it well and shoulders arms at it. You don't see that often in T20 cricket!

Starts from over the wicket and pitches the ball right up to the off stump, Aqib Ilyas stays watchful and plays it back to the bowler.

End of a long and engrossing first over and Oman are 12/1 at the end of it. Full and wide outside off, thrashed away on the up wide of mid off for a single.

Good review! Another appeal for LBW and this time, the finger goes up. Aqib Ilyas has reviewed it pretty quickly. On a fullish lenght at 141.4 clicks and swinging back in from leg stump, Aqib Ilyas misses the flick and gets hit on the pads, this one seems to be shaping down the leg side. No bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that it was pitching outside leg stump and the onfield call is overturned. NOT OUT!

WIDE! That is wayward from Mitchell Starc as he now goes full and wide, slanting it well beyond the tramline outside off.

FOUR! Uppish but in the gap! Too full and wide outside off, looking for the magic delivery but this one doesn't swing back in. Aqib Ilyas goes after it and gets it square past cover-point as the ball trickles away into the fence.

OUT! LBW! A brute of a delivery from Mitchell Starc as he gets the fuller one to swing back in late from middle stump. Pratik Athavale looks to jam it out but seems to have got an inside edge onto the pads. A huge appeal for LBW but the umpire says no. Was it pad first? There were two noises and eventually, Mitchell Marsh does take the review. The replays though show that it was pad first and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Pratik Athavale departs for a golden duck and Starc is underway in his very first over.

Much more like it from Mitchell Starc. Full on leg stump, swinging in late onto the toes, Kashyap Prajapati nudges it away in front of square leg and picks up a single.

WIDE! Overcorrection from Mitchell Starc as he gets it full and well down the leg side for a wide.

FOUR! Oh, that is a lovely, lovely shot to get the run chase underway! Nice and full, shaping back in from around off stump, Kashyap Prajapati covers the off stump and plays a checked drive through cover-point and the ball races away to the fence.
