6.00pm Australia will be pretty satisfied by that performance. Other than Naseem's late surge, it was an average display from Pakistan but they have at least got to 200. Very little intent shown from the top order, albeit against some good bowling. Can their pace attack make it count? Mitchell Starc was superb for Australia to set the tone and the others chipped in. Adam Zampa claimed the key wicket of Babar Azam although had his figures dented by Naseem. Danyal will be with you in around half an hour for the start of the chase. Meanwhile, here's some innings reading for you after events in Mumbai yesterday.
