- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 cleans him up! Australia get their first wicket after that mini-break, and it's golden boy Green again! Tailing back into him. Rizwan tried to steer it into the onside but finds his off stump uprooted 67/115.2 straight to deep extra cover! Excellent field placement. Tossed wider outside off, Babar went for the lofted drive and Ellis didn't have to move who was fielding straighter than would often be the case 118/47.5 two in two! Fakhar's fallen to a juicy full toss! Skipped down the ground to try and whack it over mid-on, but instead sends it straight down the Australian captain's throat. Green's brought Australia roaring back into this 67/211.5 edged, caught behind! Neat catch. A length ball outside off, playing away from the body and it's all very regulation. Half-hearted shot from Iftikhar 93/318.1 round the wicket, straight to long-on...the wickets keep falling. Another yorker, although it's just a full toss in the end, he swings hard but it comes from low down on the bat 142/716.4 miles into the night sky, and caught at deep midwicket! Australia keep chipping way. Some pace off from Ellis, Asif Ali could only get height and not the distance. Labuschagne settles comfortably under it 127/517.5 dragged on! Abbott gets a deserved wicket. A wide yorker outside off, Hasan looking to play it away squad and gets a bottom edge into off stump. He's a touch unlucky 142/618.2 high in the air again, taken at cover but Stoinis needed a juggle! Full outside off, another slow ball, a big carve from Afridi...and that ends up being a remarkable reaction catch from Stoinis who collected the rebound after it burst out.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Head falls as he attempts another huge hit over the onside! It was 146kph, rushing onto Head and the slog went higher than it did long. A breezy little innings from the opener comes to an end, and Pakistan have the first of the setful of wickets they so desperately need 40/118.1 taken on the deep midwicket rope! Round the wicket, Finch went to whip it over the leg side and just didn't quite get it far enough. Late twist? They are checking the catch. Looks like he kept his foot just inside. Yep, all good 158/68.3 but when he tries to drive over extra cover, Qadir strikes! The extra turn does for him, the foot movement is lacking and a tiny edge gives Pakistan another wicket 84/210.1 charges down and is stumped! Pakistan needed that. Labuschagne nowhere near that as he advances, loses his shape as he swings to leg 95/311.3 cleaned him up! Well that's the end of Stoinis' fun. A lovely delivery from Wasim. Good length, nipped off the seam, Stoinis playing down the wrong line and it takes leg stump. Short and sweet 119/413.4 through him! Wasim does it again. Full, straight and good pace. Crashing into middle stump with Green hanging back 129/518.4 off stump out of the ground! This one isn't going quietly. Good length at off stump, through Abbott for pace 159/7Extras9 (lb 5, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL163/7 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Travis Head, 3.3 ov), 2-84 (Josh Inglis, 8.3 ov), 3-95 (Marnus Labuschagne, 10.1 ov), 4-119 (Marcus Stoinis, 11.3 ov), 5-129 (Cameron Green, 13.4 ov), 6-158 (Aaron Finch, 18.1 ov), 7-159 (Sean Abbott, 18.4 ov)
