Azhar Ali to Starc, OUT, what a catch. Lovely take from Mohammad Rizwan. Australia have declared too. Wahab is injured in the process too. That was always Rizwan's catch, not sure what Wahab was doing. It was the full, flat dart on leg. Starc was through his stroke and the ball just lobbed up towards deep midwicket. Wahab, at deep square leg, and Rizwan, from deep midwicket, sprinted in. Rizwan's eyes were always on the ball, Wahab's too. Not sure if there was a call. Rizwan hangs on, while Wahab makes contact with Rizwan and falls over.

Azhar Ali to Starc, SIX, eeks. Flat delivery on off, in Starc's arc and the heave sends the ball way over midwicket
134.4
W
Azhar Ali to Wade, OUT, and another one falls. Flat delivery from Azhar and full. Maybe a touch too full for Wade to be sweeping. Fails to get over the line. Takes a thick leading edge and carries to short fine leg. All eyes were on Azam considering Pakistan's fielding woes, but he settles safely underneath and takes the catcg

Wahab Riaz to Starc, no run, slower bouncer outside off, Starc is through the stroke, bails out
Troy: "Looks like he barely made contact. If this were a day night test, I wonder if the heavier zinger bails would have been dislodged?"
