- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.3 floated up wider on middle and off and drags the length back a touch, Head is still in sweeping mode but skies this off a top edge. Simple catch taken at short fine leg by Shaheen at chest height. 163/20.3 full toss, pinned lbw! And Finch walks off. Some late swing, thuds into Finch's pads almost before he could react. Full on the shin. 1/134.6 full toss, picks out midwicket! A bit of a soft end to a terrific innings. Maybe some fatigue? A straight full toss at knee height, the bat face closed and it chipped a simple chance. A maiden ODI wicket for Wasim Jr 237/340.2 can't clear long-on! Well taken. Labuschagne looking for one of those bottom-handed drives down the ground, just drags this a touch and it doesn't have the distance. That's a very well-judged catch just inside the rope 272/449.1 taken at long-off...no fifty for Stoinis. Afridi came over the wicket, Stoinis moved outside leg stump to a full delivery and drove down the ground but couldn't clear the fence 343/743.2 edged, well taken! Length ball angling across, Carey looking to drive and it's nicked low to Rizwan's left. Well, this is being checked by the TV umpire over whether it carried. Soft signal is out. It's obviously been caught. 295/545.2 round the wicket, chipped in the air and a simple catch at midwicket. Another one goes as Australia lose their way a little. Another slower ball, Green is through the shot looking to go through the leg side 301/649.4 swipes across a full toss, goes very high in the air and comes down into the hands of Rauf tracking back from short third 347/8Extras8 (lb 6, w 2)TOTAL348/8 (50 Overs, RR: 6.96)Did not bat: MJ SwepsonFall of wickets: 1-1 (Aaron Finch, 0.3 ov), 2-163 (Travis Head, 24.3 ov), 3-237 (Ben McDermott, 34.6 ov), 4-272 (Marnus Labuschagne, 40.2 ov), 5-295 (Alex Carey, 43.2 ov), 6-301 (Cameron Green, 45.2 ov), 7-343 (Marcus Stoinis, 49.1 ov), 8-347 (Sean Abbott, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.5 done him! What a beauty from Stoinis. Out of nowhere. It's a slower ball from Stoinis, it grips like an off-break, beats the edge and clips off stump 118/134.1 Imam gives it away! Flights this generously on fifth stump as Imam charges down the track, heaves this a mile high but doesn't get the distance and Labuschagne circles around on the long-on rope to take a catch with his hips swiveling sideways to reach his arms across the boundary and takes it at chest height but remains balanced to hold on without having to do a relay. 229/244.2 it's not over yet! Offcutter from Ellis gets Babar miscuing to midwicket! Fullish length at 124 kph on fourth stump, Babar tries to clear mid-on but it comes off the inner half of the bat straight to Labuschagne at head height in the ring at midwicket. Babar gets a standing ovation from the Lahore crowd as he walks off. 309/345.5 is Pakistan giving this away?! Needless charge down the pitch with the run rate still very much in control and reaches a long way away from his body to chip a full ball from seventh stump gently to Abbott at long-off. Straightforward catch at chest height 10 yards in from the rope. 317/4Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL349/4 (49 Overs, RR: 7.12)Fall of wickets: 1-118 (Fakhar Zaman, 18.5 ov), 2-229 (Imam-ul-Haq, 34.1 ov), 3-309 (Babar Azam, 44.2 ov), 4-317 (Mohammad Rizwan, 45.5 ov)
