    6.4 caught behind! A short ball, he was trying to let it go but couldn't drop his bat, and in fact it clips the cue end. That's a bit lazy from Shafique. Starc has two early ones 24/2

    2.4 first one down! Starc goes a touch fuller, Ayub pushing forward and gets a thick inside edge into the stumps. It's been tentative from the openers 3/1

    17.4 slider does for Babar Azam! Zampa strikes in his first over. Babar appeared to think it was a conventional leg spinner, and he goes back into his crease. It skids through and sneaks under Babar's bat to take his off-stump. Babar goes after a somewhat turgid knock, and Pakistan in trouble here 63/3

    31.4 and Labuschagne gets him next ball! Rizwan wanted to sweep everything. Too short, too wide, and Rizwan wanted to paddle this, too. Gets a top edge, and it's a decent running catch from Inglis 117/6

    18.6 absolutely gorgeous bowling. Cummins pushes him onto the back foot with a perfectly directed bounced. It was honing in on Ghulam's nostril, and he tried to evade it awkwardly. But at 142.7, that was difficult to get out of the way of, and he gloves it to the keeper. Welcome to Australia, Kamran 70/4

    26.6 pulls it straight to Short at midwicket. Agha tried to pull it in front of square, but never once looked like he was comfortable playing that shot. It scoops up and Short has to jump, but it's ultimately a comfortable catch as Pakistan's vice-captain departs 101/5

    42.1 well, that's a bit of a shambles! Goes for the reverse sweep and then slips setting off for the run. The throw comes in from short third, Maxwell gathers and he's short. 175/8

    46.4 and the captain finishes it! A full ball, Naseem goes for the drive, doesn't either keep it down or clear mid-off. Simple catch for Starc 203/10

    2.2 top-edged towards third man and Saim Ayub gets underneath it superbly to draw first blood! He never quite managed to get on top of that delivery, and this time, Ayub was well enough set and didn't have as far to travel. Rizwan was rushing over, too, but it was clear Ayub wanted to make sure the catch was his 19/1

    3.6 slapped to mid-on, and JFM finally falls! It had been on the cards during this very brief stay at the crease; he never middled a ball, and he's now been done for by the pace. Doesn't get through his stroke early enough, and just floats up to mid-on. A pumped Naseem Shah gives him a spicy send-off, and Australia have lost both openers 28/2

    16.3 gone! Rauf strikes. Short and wide, Smith looks to upper cut over backward point but just picks out the fielder. Decent catch above his head. Smith can hardly believe he's given that away 113/3

    19.4 another chance, taken this time! Irfan takes a terrific catch. Crowd goes while. Shaheen goes short again, Inglis swivels on a pull, struck it very nicely, Irfan makes good ground to his left and takes it sliding on his knees 139/4

    20.1 taken at deep third! Rauf strikes. If the MCG had a roof it would be coming off. Short outside off, Labuschagne looks to guide this down to deep third, Irfan makes good ground in off the rope. Rauf's pace and bounce too much. 139/5

    20.2 caught behind! What scenes at the MCG. Rauf is ripping it up. Short at off stump, raw pace, climbs at Maxwell who pokes and gets a thin edge. Rauf on a hat-trick. 139/6

    29.4 goodness me, what's happening here?! This was punched off the back foot through the covers, a comfortable two runs and Abbott is well short. There was a bit of a fumble and Cummins called for a third. Shaheen hits with his throw from the bowler's end. Abbott was very slow. Massive mistake. 185/8
