    16.6 edged, caught behind! Lovely bowling, probing away from round the wicket, this is a good length outside off, brings Masood forward, just feeling for it as it angles in then straightens a fraction off the seam 38/3
    4.3 gone, that's such a good ball from Starc. Imam had to play at this. Length ball, angling in towards off stump and straightening just a touch. Squares up in defence, and the thick edge goes to Warner at fourth slip/fine gully, at hip height. He should probably have been on the front foot to that ball, and his bat was well in front of his body when he met that ball, but most batsmen take a little while to get their feet moving at the start of their innings, and this came to him at 150kph 3/1
    11.6 taken low at second slip! This will go to the third umpire, but looks good. Soft signal is out. A good length delivery at middle and off, squared up Azhar, who slices across the delivery, and the edge flew low towards Smith who has got fingers under the ball as he comes forward. That's a good catch. 22/2
    65.1 caught behind! Another one hander from Paine! Starc has 5 and Babar misses his century! Good length, angled in and it just straightened away, he drives on the up, gets a thick edge, Paine diving to his right takes another really good one hander. Babar is gutted 194/7
    23.3 got him, that's loose from Shafiq. This is a good-length ball, slanting away into the fifth-stump channel, and Shafiq had no need to play at that. Especially not if he was playing that in-between shot, neither attacking nor defending, just hung his bat out and exposed his outside edge. Healthy edge through to Tim Paine 69/4
    31.2 short, wide, slashed, gone. This was coming, and it's happened exactly as Australia have planned. Iftikhar will wonder whether he made it too easy for them. The ball was always angling away, and Iftikhar threw his bat at it without moving his feet, and Paine takes a stunning catch, diving in front of first slip and grabbing it with his outstretched right glove 89/5
    31.5 got him, Starc is on fire! And another Pakistan batsman gets out to a poor, poor shot. Full, wide, tempting, but at Test level you're supposed to resist such temptations so early in your innings. Flashes at it, far, far away from his body, and gets a thin edge through to Paine 89/6
    94.4 caught at deep backward square! Lyon hangs on! It was a short ball he hooked but got a top edge, it flies high to the deep, Lyon ran hard in off the fence and took a good sliding catch! 302/10
    65.2 plumb lbw! He's given. Shaheen reviews. This looks dead. 145kph, full inswinger hits him on the shin. No bat involved. Nothing on hot spot or RTS. Ball tracking says smashing leg stump! Pitched in line and would have knocked out leg. Pakistan lose a review 194/8
    90.3 caught at gully! A brute of a short ball! 138kph, bouncer straight at the badge of the helmet, he was caught in a horrible position, took his eyes off the ball, thrusts his gloves at it and it ballooned to Warner in the gully 281/9

    39.2 chipped straight to mid off! Easy catch for Starc! Huge mistake from Shan. He skipped down and stayed leg side of the ball trying to loft up and over mid off, but he didn't quite get to it, and didn't get the elevation, just hit it flat at a nice catching height for Starc who does not have to move. A gift for the Australians 123/4
    3.3 Given lbw! Imam talks to Shan and runs out of time. He walks off without reviewing. Brilliant piece of bowling. 134kph from around the wicket, fuller and shaping in late, he was half forward driving down the wrong line, it hit him on the shin in line with off stump and ball tracking had it hitting the top of middle and leg. 2/1
    4.6 great catch at second slip! Full outside off, Azhar getting careless, looking as though he's trying to work to leg, thick outside flies quickly to Smith's right and he dives to snaffle it. Poor shot from the captain 11/2
    9.6 edged, caught behind! That's the big one. Hazlewood nabs him again. Back of a length just outside off, Babar feeling for it but probably had to play. Lovely line and length. Top class 20/3
    47.6 caught at leg slip! That was plan and it worked. Shorter length, a bit of bounce and turn, Asad is back trying to work it square but gets a little inside edge onto thigh pad and it goes straight to Warner at leg slip. He didn't have to move. 154/5
    67.2 caught ay short leg! Finally Labuschagne hangs on to one! A good length biting and turning, he pressed forward from the crease in hope but the extra bounce meant it came straight off the gloves of his low hands, it flew sharply to Labuschagne at short leg, he parried it up on the first attempt but didn't panic and pouched the second. His relief is palpable. His teammates give him a lot of pats on the back 201/6
    81.1 cleans him up! Full at the stumps, perhaps just a hint of shape in, Rizwan goes for the drive and it's through him 235/9
    75.3 Given lbw! Yasir reviews. He went back on his stumps and wiped across the line and was hit plumb in front. Nothing on RTS. No bat involved. Ball tracking has it pitching in line, hitting in line, smashing middle and off. Yasir's hopes of another century gone. Pakistan lose a review 221/7
    79.3 caught at mid off! Lyon has five! Shocking shot. Tossed up outside off, he tried to hit this into the river, sliced a thick top edge high to mid off, Hazlewood cruises under it and takes a simple catch 229/8
    81.6 it's all over, direct hit finishes things! Was a full delivery, clubbed towards mid-on, Musa wasn't running, Abbas was. He turned, but had little chance of beating Cummins' throw if it hit. And it did 239/10
