- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 Fakhar departs! Miscued the skier! Danced down the wicket and tried to knock it over long-on. He bowled short and didn't give much speed, he wanted to clobber it downtown but found Green who took a wonderful catch, reverse-cupping it. Another early dismissal for Fakhar. Struggling a little 14/111.1 Around the wicket, floated full on middle, takes the aerial route and it remained high in the air for a long while but what catch at deep midwicket. An absolute screamer like it was dying quickly and Renshaw was sprinting and stretched full-length to his right, diving and pouching, his expression sums it all, mouth wide open and he has surprised himself! This is sensational stuff, needed something special to dismiss Saim and this is indeed special. 103/33.4 Pace-off length ball slanted wide of off, fetches it and drags it across the line to mid-on. A soft dismissal and induced an error, he reached out and swung wildly and found Green who takes a regulation catch 34/213.6 One big shot too many, tight fuller length right on middle and quicker as well, plants his front leg and attempts to loft it over long-off, finds Short at long-off who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that off, nice little entertaining knock, very new to this stage but he has shown glimpses of brilliance and his potential 131/418.4 Jockeys across off again and Dwarshuis does well to push it wider across off, he chases it and throws his bat, got a thick edge and Philippe does tremendously well to dive low to his right and pocket a low catch. He has done his job, provided the impetus. 188/519.2 Comes on the front-foot and larrups it straight into the hands of Short at long-on. Steepler at chest height, went leg-side and didn't have enough room to free arms but the approach was correct. Time for heavy-lifting and he tried to clear ropes. Excellent short ball, well-directed 194/6Extras4 (nb 2, w 2)TOTAL207/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Fakhar Zaman, 1.5 ov), 2-34 (Salman Agha, 3.4 ov), 3-103 (Saim Ayub, 11.1 ov), 4-131 (Khawaja Nafay, 13.6 ov), 5-188 (Shadab Khan, 18.4 ov), 6-194 (Mohammad Nawaz, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Disturbs the furniture Wrecks the stumps with an absolute crackerjack of a delivery! Pitched up full and it tails back in at middle, he tries to mow it downtown and the ball sneaks through, sounding the death rattle, two early departures for Australia's captain 2/11.4 Darting it full on middle, unable to read it well enough and the slight bit of turn flummoxes him, tried to go big downtown and miscued it, taken by Babar at mid-off - excelling charging in diving catch! Australia off to a horrible start. They have struggled against spin which doesn't bode well for the upcoming World Cup 4/29.6 Sounds the death rattle! Lobbed up and bowled it very slow through the air and got some turn across off, chopped back onto the stumps and the wheels continue to come off. Chase is totally derailed 63/52.5 Unimpeachable line, lands it a bit short and attacks off-stump, Renshaw tries some improvisation and shuffles across to ramp it over the keeper's head, misread the line. This is not working for Australia; it's been a tough series for them and they have found it difficult to adapt to the conditions and tricky surface. 16/39.1 Dragged it back onto the stumps and Stoinis cannot believe it. He backed away to cut and the ball was short and spinning across middle, had to wait for an eternity for the ball to come closer, hit with hard hands and ended up making a big mess of the stumps. Big wicket for Pakistan. We'll have a drinks break 60/413.3 Tries to smother this through deep square and the sub Sahibzada Farhan takes a wonderful tumbling catch! Went for the slog sweep and not quite under it, no height on it 82/614.4 Pleading for an lbw, relentless appeal and finally umpire raises the finger in agreement! Kept it gun-barrel straight and fired it full and straight, dipping on his shin, he went down and tried to swing it over midwicket. Review has been taken. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting wickets so I'm not sure why did the on-field umpire took so long to give out; there's wasn't much doubt about it except if there was any bat on it. 86/813.5 Over the wicket, Nawaz is not a big turner of the ball but even he is getting massive turn on this surface, angled in from a shortish length and beats his ambitious swing through midwicket, Nafay pouches it well and whips off the bails in a jiffy, innings continues to peter out, replica of the last game 82/716.5 Around the wicket, bouncer climbs up slowly and he gets cramped him for room, lunging at it and slices it to Fakhar at backward point region.
