6.36pm Innings break Excellent cameo from Cameron Green to finish the innings. Australia post 313 for 7. It's competitive. But they may feel they left a few out there after the innings from Travis Head. He made a sensational 101 from 72 balls but holed out in the 25th over with Pakistan on their knees. Ben McDermott made his maiden ODI half-century but ran himself out with 17 overs to go. That opened the door for the spinners and Zahid and Khushdil dragged it back superbly. Australia were in danger of missing out on 300 but Green made 40 not out off 30 to finish the innings. Haris Rauf bowled brilliantly to take 2 for 44 from 8. Babar Azam may rue not using his last two overs. PDP will be back for the start of the chase.

Binod Paudel: "Finch Mcdermott Labuschagne Stoinis = 129(183)Others = 162(117)"

Tauqeer : "It's unbelievable that Haris didn't get to bowl his quota of 10 overs. I think Australia is 10/15 ahead of par score here and Pakistan will find it hard to chase"
