- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR42.2 Warner holes out at long-on, crowd applauds as he walks back Haris came from around the wicket and went with a cutter. Warner was too early into the drive down the ground. Bottom hand came off, the skier parachuted to Shadab, the sub-fielder, who gobbled it up. Shaheen gave Warner a fist-pump as he walked back. Should've had him on 10 325/433.5 comes around the wicket, and Usama Mir takes a sharp catch at short fine leg! Pakistan have actually taken a wicket. Like, a wicket has actually fallen. Clipped to short fine leg, where Mir made no mistake. Warner gives Marsh a hug as he walks off to rapturous applause 259/133.6 high in the air, and Pakistan have two in two. Maxwell falls for a golden duck trying to smear it over mid-on. Gets a top edge and Babar Azam makes no mistake 259/238.1 Mir realises if he wants to get Smith out, he'll have to catch the ball himself. Driven back to him and he takes a sharp catch. The ground falls eerily silent, and Pakistan are slowly pulling Australia back in 284/347.1 Stoinis goes across and tries to ramp the slower one, misses and gets hit on the pad. LBW given, he reviews. It was on a length, came in and hit him over the knee-roll on the front foot. However, his back foot was well in the crease and pointing towards point, the front leg was bent too. And Hawk-Eye confirms he was in front of middle. 354/644.2 Rizwan appeals for a caught behind. Not given. Sent upstairs. Inglis went across early, got one around a back of length. He went through with the scoop nonetheless. The bat was next to his shoulder as the ball tickled the inside edge on its way to the keeper. Ends up being a good review. 339/548.3 Pulled hard, flat and straight to deep midwicket! It was a 143kph bouncer around chest-height, Marnus middled it. Got decent power but not the elevation and placement. Good catch from Shadab, who took it with fingers pointing up. 360/749.1 It's Shaheen who has a say first up though. It was full around fourth, Starc stood leg side and tried to launch it down the ground but could get it only as far as long-off 363/849.2 Tickled, taken and Shaheen is pumped with his five-for. He roars, does a Sajda and gets hugs from his team-mates. Length outside off, Hazlewood tried to steer it behind square and edged it to the keeper 363/9Extras25 (b 1, lb 10, w 14)TOTAL367/9 (50 Overs, RR: 7.34)Fall of wickets: 1-259 (Mitchell Marsh, 33.5 ov), 2-259 (Glenn Maxwell, 33.6 ov), 3-284 (Steven Smith, 38.1 ov), 4-325 (David Warner, 42.2 ov), 5-339 (Josh Inglis, 44.2 ov), 6-354 (Marcus Stoinis, 47.1 ov), 7-360 (Marnus Labuschagne, 48.3 ov), 8-363 (Mitchell Starc, 49.1 ov), 9-363 (Josh Hazlewood, 49.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.1 First-ball wicket for Stoinis and he's chuffed! It was a bumper at the body at 130ks, Shafique turned about and went hard at it. Top edged the pull and Maxwell took a dolly. Shafique charged down and tried making room but got followed, one of the hands came right after he hit it. 134/123.4 Makes room and carves it straight to deep third! Stoinis' muscling out the call to the boys and hoots about in celebration! On a back of length just outside off, Imam tried to belt it away again but got a top edge. Starc lunged forward and took a good low catch. 154/226.2 Pulled to Cummins and Zampa has Babar! Zampa pumps his fists in the air in delight. The legspinner match-up against Babar works. Length ball at 88kph was at the stumps, Babar cleared his front leg and pulled it across. Didn't look like he made enough room to crunch it. The ball went low and to the right of Cummins, who took it with both hands and held onto it with clasped palms as the elbow fell on the ground to ensure it didn't pop out 175/340.5 Zampa's confident lbw appeal is upheld. Rizwan has to review. That looked dead. Slightly short. Rizwan, like a couple balls ago, went across and then slid back on one knee for the sweep. The ball came through and went under the bat. He's hit on the back leg in front of middle. Hawk-Eye shows It'd go on to be clipping leg stump and Rizwan has to go 274/634.2 and Cummins gets the breakthrough his side needed! Stoinis plays his part as he has in this innings, taking a sharp catch running back. Saud looked to pull it away - a shot that's brought him success that innings, but the miscues loops up behind cover, where Stoinis doesn't err. Australia edge ahead once more 232/438.5 went with the arm, Australia appeal enthusiastically and they take a review. Looked to me like bat first but let's see what Michael Gough makes of it. It's pad first, this will be out. It's hitting the stumps. Three reds and Iftikhar's on his way 269/542.6 Zampa's got his fourth, thanks to great reaction and deception! He pulled the length back and darted it at 97ks outside off after seeing Nawaz charge. The batter tried to push it to cover after being unable to get to the line. He got beat on the outside edge and Inglis did the rest. 287/841.5 Will that be taken? Yes, Starc does at deep fine leg! Just 126ks but the length's what done him in. On the shorter side and angling in at the body, Usama swivelled about and tried to launch it behind square but it ballooned off the top of the bat. Starc lunged forward and took it well 277/745.3 Even better shot but straight to Marnus at deep midwicket. Australia win by 62 runs. It was into the pitch again, Shaheen danced down and pulled it flat again, but went straight to the fielder 305/1044.5 Starc's streak is alive. Hasan went across and tried to pull it fine while swivelling, ball went off the underedge to the keeper. Starc went into the pitch again and angled it in around sixth stump. 301/9Extras19 (b 1, lb 7, w 11)TOTAL305 all out (45.3 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-134 (Abdullah Shafique, 21.1 ov), 2-154 (Imam-ul-Haq, 23.4 ov), 3-175 (Babar Azam, 26.2 ov), 4-232 (Saud Shakeel, 34.2 ov), 5-269 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 38.5 ov), 6-274 (Mohammad Rizwan, 40.5 ov), 7-277 (Usama Mir, 41.5 ov), 8-287 (Mohammad Nawaz, 42.6 ov), 9-301 (Hasan Ali, 44.5 ov), 10-305 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 45.3 ov)
