Key moments from the first T20I game between Australia and Pakistan, held at the Gabba in Brisbane.

Pakistan's lineup includes: Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper/captain), Babar Azam, Sahibzada Farhan, Usman Khan, Agha Salman, Irfan Khan, Abbas Afridi, Shaheen Afridi, Haseebullah Khan, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah.
Pakistan has won the coin toss and has chosen to field first against Australia.
The rain has eased up, and the field is prepared for action, thanks to some excellent drainage systems in place. Each team will play seven overs.
Light rain is falling steadily at the venue. There's still no indication that anyone will check the playing conditions, nor any word on when the action might begin.
The beginning of the competition has been postponed. While there is currently no rain, the risk of lightning has caused a delay. The deadline for a five-over match to begin is 8:29 PM local time, which is about three hours away.
The covers are currently set up in the square. Rain is expected later today.
Australia's squad includes: Matthew Short, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis (wicketkeeper/captain), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Josh Philippe, and Spencer Johnson.
Pakistan's squad includes: Mohammad Rizwan (captain and wicketkeeper), Babar Azam, Arafat Minhas, Omair Yousuf, Haseebullah Khan, Irfan Khan, Usman Khan, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Jahandad Khan, Sahibzada Farhan, Abbas Afridi, and Sufiyan Muqeem.
