- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.6 Head only winds up 99 short of a double.... He walks off disgusted with himself. A casual charge down the pitch to a fullish length ball on middle and shovels this in the air toward long-off where Khushdil runs forward and takes a comfortable catch sliding forward on his knees. Head reacts like he knows he's thrown away a shot at a massive score. 171/214.4 caught behind! Zahid has a breakthrough! Good catch from Rizwan. Lovely leg break, pitching on off, this spins sharply and catches the edge as Finch presses forward, it deviated a fair way, Rizwan bobbled it initially but caught the rebound. 110/132.6 what has McDermott done?! Khushdil flights this more at 77 kph on fifth stump, time to guide this behind point for what should be a pretty innocuous two but McDermott may have run himself out searching for a third that wasn't there. Labuschagne wasn't interested and sends him back rightly and McDermott's diving effort to make the crease at the striker's end is a full yard short. 209/338.1 holes out to long off! Superb catch from Saud! He skipped down the track and moved legside to loft this inside out trying to go wide of long off, Saud had to run a long way and dive to his left and he held on to a wonderful catch 224/446.4 Bowled him this time! Similar ball, fractionally fuller, same line, Stoinis tries to pull from a length and it wasn't the shot, it crashes into the top of off and lights up the stumps! Haris Rauf celebrates in typical style 277/639.2 bowled him around his legs! It was a wrong un outside leg but a full toss, Carey premeditated to reverse sweep and missed it and was bowled around his legs! 230/548.5 Clean bowled! So skillful from Haris Rauf! Slower ball, perfect length, Abbott didn't pick it, he was through the shot and it crashed into the off bail.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 skewed straight to mid-off! Full on off at 128 kph, Fakhar charges impetuously and tries to whip this over mid-on but splices this off the outside half of the bat and it flutters gently to Head on the ring at mid-off, who shuffles back a few steps to his left before doing a bunny hop to take this two-handed in front of his face. 24/138.6 yorker cleans up Imam! Ellis has been mixing up his pace this over to try to keep the Pakistan batters off balance. This time zings one in at the base of off on 134 kph. Imam is late reacting trying to get the bat down and can't jam this out. 204/624.1 Given lbw! Babar reviews. He tried to sweep a full leg break on leg. He hasn't hit it. Did it pitch outside leg? Ultraedge shows no bat involved. Ball tracking has it pitching on middle and leg and smashing the middle of middle! Out! Great decision. Pakistan lose a review. Swepson gets his first ODI wicket, and just like his first Test wicket, it's Babar Azam! 120/226.4 leading edge balloons to cover! Well bowled. Good length, angled into middle and off, Saud tried to push with hard hands towards long on, the ball just held up, he sliced it off the leading edge and it just floated to Labuschagne at cover. Simple catch. 132/330.6 caught down the leg side! Superb catch from Carey! Angled down leg from Zampa, Rizwan was down to lap sweep with the angle, it was the right shot but he only got a little deflection, Carey's footwork was outstanding to get down the leg side and he held onto the deflection superbly! 151/433.3 excellent catch by Abbott at long-on made to look like a sitter! Iftikhar has a charge to a full ball on the stumps and connects sweetly down the ground toward wide long-on. This is going for six but Abbott is a big unit and ranges 15 yards to his right before leaping up high and taking the ball with his hands in front of his face. He's well balanced too to land inside the rope without any issues. 166/543.2 googly fetches another wicket for Zampa. Flighted full on sixth stump, teases Khushdil into a slog sweep for midwicket with the length but the turn and bounce away produces a top edge that swirls over point. Carey runs out from behind the stumps and calls everyone off for a simple catch. 217/941.2 good length ball on middle, skids low and slips underneath Hasan, who goes back to pull but is defeated by the lack of bounce as it continues to skid on with the line crashing into leg stump. 213/741.3 googly castles Wasim Jr for a golden duck! It was flighted beautiful on a good length on around sixth stump, Wasim Jr didn't read it at all and prods forward a long way away from his body, massive gap opens up and the ball slides through to clatter the top of off. 213/845.2 all over! Haris charges a full toss and tries to heave this over the leg side but splices this to long-on. Green settles himself five yards inside the rope and takes a basic head-high catch to clinch an 88-run win for Australia. 225/10Extras4 (nb 1, w 3)TOTAL225 all out (45.2 Overs, RR: 4.96)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.3 ov), 2-120 (Babar Azam, 24.1 ov), 3-132 (Saud Shakeel, 26.4 ov), 4-151 (Mohammad Rizwan, 30.6 ov), 5-166 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 33.3 ov), 6-204 (Imam-ul-Haq, 38.6 ov), 7-213 (Hasan Ali, 41.2 ov), 8-213 (Mohammad Wasim, 41.3 ov), 9-217 (Khushdil Shah, 43.2 ov), 10-225 (Haris Rauf, 45.2 ov)
