- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.1 another one! Chops on. Fuller outside off, and he drives away from his body. The ball zips in, and takes the inside of his bat. Massive wicket 97/212.5 Tye holds on! Farhan wanted the release shot, but couldn't time it at all. Loses one hand on the bat, and the mistimed slice goes to long off 93/116.4 great response! Slower through the air, and spinning away. Malik looks to nudge it towards the leg side, but the leading edge takes it to Finch at cover 126/318.2 holes out! A brilliant catch from Coulter-Nile. This was full on off, and in the slot. It's Asif's misfortune that he couldn't get it off the bat's middle. The fielder tracks the ball with one eye and ensures his feet are inside the boundary with the other. Taken in the Aussie-Cup style 140/418.4 short on middle, and Faheem has pulled this down Tye's throat at deep backward square. Off the bat's top edge, and Tye makes no mistake despite the rain 141/5Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-93 (Sahibzada Farhan, 12.5 ov), 2-97 (Babar Azam, 13.1 ov), 3-126 (Shoaib Malik, 16.4 ov), 4-140 (Asif Ali, 18.2 ov), 5-141 (Faheem Ashraf, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 leading edge and it lobs to midwicket. Dolly of a catch. Hafeez drifts this in from round the stumps, Carey looked to nudge this into the leg side, closed the bat face early. This one just stopped on him a touch. Pakistan right back into this. 24/21.5 he's lofted this straight to mid-on. Looked to clear the infield but got this low on the bat, Hafeez moved low to his right to complete the catch. 24/17.1 swept from outside off against the turn, but he only manages to hole out to deep midwicket. Fetched it from way outside off, no timing and he ended up dragging this. Poor choice of shot there. Wicket off his first delivery for Shadab and the game is back in the balance. 60/37.4 eased with the spin to cover, takes off for a run even though the non-striker stopped after taking a couple of steps. By the time McDermott turned back, it was curtains. Three run outs, oh dear. You surely don't want to build a reputation this early in your career for all the wrong reasons, Australia in real trouble now. 62/410.1 straight to long on! Backs away and tries to thump a full-pitched ball into the stands, but it's come off the bat's toe-end, and it doesn't have the power to go beyond the boundary 75/514.3 chipped! To long on. Shoaib Malik dives forward to complete that catch. Length ball angling in, and cramping him for space. Can't free his arms, and he lobs it into the hands of the fielder manning the boundary 94/615.1 back of a length outside off, and pulled to deep midwicket. But Shoaib Malik, yes that grand old man, runs to his left from long on and slides across the ground to take a mindblowing catch. He's 37, would you believe it? And is that the end of Australia's challenge 99/715.2 Shadab runs from point and whips the bails off! It was a yorker on off that Coulter-Nile wedged to point. He wanted the run, but Tye wasn't interested, and the fielder has enough time to sprint towards the batsman's stumps and perform the last rites 99/817.6 nine down! Full and quick, and Tye's attempted drive takes the inside-edge and straight into Sarfraz's gloves. That went so fast, and the keeper had to dive to his left in a flash 108/919.1 Pakistan win 3-0! The 30th time they've bowled an opposition out in T20Is! Full on off, and he tried to muscle it over long off. No power behind that shot and the hosts are delighted 117/10Extras7 (lb 5, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL117 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Aaron Finch, 1.5 ov), 2-24 (Alex Carey, 2.1 ov), 3-60 (Chris Lynn, 7.1 ov), 4-62 (Ben McDermott, 7.4 ov), 5-75 (Glenn Maxwell, 10.1 ov), 6-94 (Mitchell Marsh, 14.3 ov), 7-99 (D'Arcy Short, 15.1 ov), 8-99 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 15.2 ov), 9-108 (Andrew Tye, 17.6 ov), 10-117 (Adam Zampa, 19.1 ov)

It was the fourth time that Pakistan completed a 3-0 whitewash in T20I contests
Can embattled Australia stave off whitewash?
Their best chance could be to target Pakistan's shaky middle order that is heavily reliant on top-order contributions from Babar and Hafeez
