- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 dragged on, gone first ball! Full and wide outside off, Carey goes for a drive, lack of pace off the surface, takes the bottom edge into the pitch and bobbles back into the stumps. That's a little unfortunate for Carey, but perhaps a sign of things to come 0/17.4 soft dismissal! Back of a length, straight, Short aims into the leg side and sends it straight back to the bowler. That almost happened in slow motion 46/226.1 Done him with a beaut, Inglis can't believe it! Bowls a flighted length ball that hits the turf and stays low. Inglis moves onto the back foot to punch it square but is beaten all ends up by the lack of bounce and the ball crashes into almost the base of off stump. The Aussie skipper looks disappointed as he slowly trudges back to the dugout after a fine innings. 102/410.4 top edge, taken! Oh dear, Marnus. Full at the stumps, Labuschagne goes for a big sweep, perhaps had to reach for it a bit, couldn't get over the top of it, flies straight up the air, slip moves around behind the keeper to take a simple catch 51/339.4 picks out long on! Green can't cash in on the hard work. Dragged down short outside off, comes slowly off the pitch, Green tries to clear the leg side but can't get it wide of long on or the distance to clear him 167/543.2 through him! What a response from Rauf. Shifts to outside off, back of a length, beats the inside edge on the angle (and some seam movement), Renshaw looks to play square to the off side and loses his off stump 184/649.6 base of off stump! Rauf gets the yorker in with the final ball, Peake clears the front leg and swings to the leg side but it's through him 231/946.3 cleaned up! A wild hack across the line from Kuhnemann - not much to say about it - and Afridi is on target 202/748.5 can't quite clear long on...full, angling in at the stumps, Ellis gets a decent swing but the slower ball means it's hard to get the distance and it drops into the hands of Arafat just inside the rope 215/8Extras23 (b 8, lb 7, w 8)TOTAL231/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.62)Did not bat: T SanghaFall of wickets: 1-0 (Alex Carey, 0.1 ov), 2-46 (Matthew Short, 7.4 ov), 3-51 (Marnus Labuschagne, 10.4 ov), 4-102 (Josh Inglis, 26.1 ov), 5-167 (Cameron Green, 39.4 ov), 6-184 (Matt Renshaw, 43.2 ov), 7-202 (Matthew Kuhnemann, 46.3 ov), 8-215 (Nathan Ellis, 48.5 ov), 9-231 (Oliver Peake, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Chips it to the fine leg fielder, who takes a fine catch at the edge of the circle! Bowls a wide ball outside the leg-stump line. Farhan gets down on one knee to play the paddle sweep but fails to keep it down, top edging it aerially towards short fine leg. Zampa, who was standing slightly forward, had to track back quickly. He pouched the catch and somehow held onto it despite losing his balance while moving backwards. Pakistan have lost both their openers in quick succession! 6/20.3 Chopped on by a slower delivery! Hard length ball, a 111.1 kph delivery around the sixth stump line. He swats it down, inside edging it onto the pitch and the ball bounces once before crashing into the leg stump. Sadaqat looks back, staring at the scenario unfolding; an agonising sight for the batter and Australia strike early! 4/14.4 Massive appeal! The umpire takes his time and raises the finger! Babar opts to review it immediately though. Off-cutter on the fourth stump channel, nipping back in as Babar plays it a bit late off the front foot. There's a clear gap between bat and pad, and the ball sneaks right through on the inner thigh pad. Ball tracking is coming up: impact is the umpire's call and it's hitting the wickets. The Aussie fans are absolutely pumped up in the stands, and Australia get the big fish! 33/316.3 cleaned up! Six down. Length delivery around middle and leg, goes for the sweep, plays over the top of it. Zampa slowed that one up a bit, nice piece of bowling. Dodgy shot selection 78/67.5 Bowled'em! 95.4 kph, a good length ball around the off stump channel. Salman plays inside the line and opens the face of the bat a bit late, missing it completely as the ball crashes into the off stump. Pakistan are really struggling out there now against the spin. 44/411.1 Soft dismissal and Pakistan lose their fifth wicket! Bowls a harmless length ball on the stumps that keeps a bit low with a hint of turn. Samad has no clue whatsoever as he tries to clip it across the line, closing the face of the bat too early. It catches the leading edge, lofting a regulation catch back to the bowler. That is a poor shot from Samad, and he has to depart now. 58/544 Wide ball down the leg-side and looks like that's the game, caught Shadab by surprise! Sangha bowls a floated, wide delivery down the leg-side. Shadab steps out of the crease while playing the flick stroke, a natural reflex of his batting follow-through, and gets a bit too far forward on his cramped legs. He tries to get back into the crease, but his foot stays outside the line by a fraction or two, by the barest of margins. Shadab stands there stranded in disappointment as the square leg umpire sends it upstairs to have another look. Yep, he is short of his ground. Nevertheless, a fine knock from Shadab comes to an end. 190/1031.6 big appeal, and given lbw! Trapped on the crease to a good length ball. He's called the review. Yep, straight into the back leg and looks very straight. Smashing off stump. Couldn't get the bat down in time. 137/736.6 Nicked through and Shaheen's cameo ends here tonight! Length ball around the fifth stump line. He plays off the back foot, trying to nudge it, but it kisses the outside edge of the bat and Inglis takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. No more fireworks from the Pakistan skipper tonight as he bites the dust. 168/843.6 Cleaned him up with a seed! Ellis bowls a hard length ball on the stumps. Rauf moves onto the back foot to negate this one, just like he did for the last 14 deliveries or so, but fails to get inside the line of the ball in time. This was a pace on delivery from Ellis and it sneaked through the gates to break the furniture! 189/9Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL190 all out (44 Overs, RR: 4.31)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Maaz Sadaqat, 0.3 ov), 2-6 (Sahibzada Farhan, 1.2 ov), 3-33 (Babar Azam, 4.4 ov), 4-44 (Salman Agha, 7.5 ov), 5-58 (Abdul Samad, 11.1 ov), 6-78 (Ghazi Ghori, 16.3 ov), 7-137 (Arafat Minhas, 31.6 ov), 8-168 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 36.6 ov), 9-189 (Haris Rauf, 43.6 ov), 10-190 (Shadab Khan, 44 ov)
