- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.4 Finch holds a smart catch on the long-off boundary He knew he had to accelerate, and tried to go big, Got hold of the ball, but not quite well enough. Finch kept calm right on the ropes and held the ball over his head without disbalancing. 106/33.5 backs away, but misses! Coulter-Nile thinks there's an edge. The bowler is convinced, Carey not so much, but Finch reviews anyway. Fakhar had backed away, and Coulter-Nile had followed him with a short ball aimed at his body. Extra bounce forced Fakhar to miss, and the ball went just above his bat. Did he get a feather touch? That's the question. And yes, it's an edge! Fakhar must go. 29/113.6 pulled straight to deep square leg Short ball, rising up to pulling height near the shoulders and Hafeez got hold of that well. However, his placement was completely off, and he picked out D'Arcy Short with precision. 99/218.4 Pakistan are falling away a bit Malik cleared his back leg and tried to go over the in-field, but no timing again - and Mitch Marsh at mid-off holds on comfortably 131/516.6 clobbered straight to the man on the point fence back of a length on off, he timed it pretty well, but it went straight to D'Arcy Short. 117/418.5 Mitch Marsh juggles and holds on No batting heroics from Hasan Ali this time. Mid-off was up, and he bowled a full length delivery. Hasan cleared his leg and swung, but got only the toe-end to it. The ball was going behind Marsh. He ran back, arms outstretched, got the ball in both hands. It popped out, but he had the presence of mind to grab it again. 131/6Extras10 (lb 6, w 4)TOTAL147/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Fakhar Zaman, 3.5 ov), 2-99 (Mohammad Hafeez, 13.6 ov), 3-106 (Babar Azam, 15.4 ov), 4-117 (Asif Ali, 16.6 ov), 5-131 (Shoaib Malik, 18.4 ov), 6-131 (Hasan Ali, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 is that run-out? Straight drive, ricochets into the non-striker's stumps. Did Imad get his fingertips to it? Yes for the fingertips, but Short's bat is in the air despite it being over the line! Australia 11 for 1 11/16.3 full outside off, and he holes out! Spinning away from Finch, but he looks to clear long on. Off the bat's toe end, and taken at long on. Australia at 31/3 31/34.6 full on leg stump, and Lynn tries to work it towards the leg side. But the leading edge has popped up towards the off-side, and Shadab Khan takes an acrobatic sliding catch from cover to send Lynn back! 19/211.4 Big appeal for caught behind by Sarfraz and given Mitch Marsh didn't look too happy, but perhaps that was because he's out - he hasn't reviewed. Classical leg-break, pitching on middle and off and turning away, drawing his bat away from body. Thin edge through and Sarf knew it immediately 61/419.3 is that the match for Pakistan? Maxwell got it off the toe-end and it went miles in the air. Shoaib Malik at long-on kept calm, settled in under it and clutched it to his chest. No chance of the ball popping out. Maxwell's entertaining knock ends. And you'd think so do Australia's chances 132/712.3 Collapse time again? Leading edge, and it flies to the man at extra cover for an easy catch. Tried to work this ball on leg-stump through the leg-side, but closes the face too early. The ball turns enough to take a thick edge. Australia in big trouble 62/513.5 direct hit and out! incredible work from Fakhar Zaman at mid-on. The ball was clipped to him, he ran to it, collected it while tumbling forward and flicked it with his left hand to the stumps direct. McDermott was way out of his crease 73/619.5 fuller ball on the stumps and Coulter-Nile makes good contact, but sends it soaring to the man on the cover fence, and Asif Ali takes a few steps to his left and holds on comfortably. 134/8Extras18 (lb 13, w 5)TOTAL136/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.8)Did not bat: B StanlakeFall of wickets: 1-11 (D'Arcy Short, 2.6 ov), 2-19 (Chris Lynn, 4.6 ov), 3-31 (Aaron Finch, 6.3 ov), 4-61 (Mitchell Marsh, 11.4 ov), 5-62 (Alex Carey, 12.3 ov), 6-73 (Ben McDermott, 13.5 ov), 7-132 (Glenn Maxwell, 19.3 ov), 8-134 (Nathan Coulter-Nile, 19.5 ov)
