- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 back of a length, and this time the pull shot costs Short! There was a fielder at square leg about ten metres inside the boundary, and Short picked him out perfectly. Felt like Australia were building up some momentum in the last couple of overs, but have been pegged back by wickets once more 72/43.1 Pitched up, nicked off. Another failure at the top for JFM. Looking to drive on the up (a bit like the mirror image of Shan Masood's dismissal here last year) which is fraught with danger at Perth stadium. A bit of away swing on a three-quarter length, fourth-stump line. He went for the off-drive, no foot movement. Costs him. 20/16.1 Play it? Leave it? Hardie ends up doing neither and is caught at slip! Bowler's wicket this. Shaheen hits the fuller side of length, threatened to shape it in but then that kept going away. Hardie shaped to leave, the bat was behind the shoulder but not high enough to get out the ball's way. An unintentional deflection leads to a good leaping catch low to Salman's right. Replay shows it was an upright seam, the seam angled away towards first slip there 36/210.5 and that's a case in point! Back of a length from Naseem, Inglis rocks back and tries to pull it away, but can't get on top of the bounce. Skies it a mile, and Rizwan barely has to move before letting the ball cocoon into his gloves. Australia lose their third! 56/316.3 sliced away to third man this time 79/420.3 Edged to the keeper while tryna punch on the top of the bounce. Seam was canted towards fine leg, came in with the angle to hit a length. Stoinis was trying to punch it square from fourth stump. Was upright, stood leg side of the skiddy back of lengther. But the attempt to make room ended up squaring him up. Ball tracking confirms it was seam movement 88/617.2 squares him up and snares the Big Show once more! Australia in complete disarray! It was a high-pace delivery, Maxwell tries to steer it to the onside. Gets a leading edge and Saim Ayub at backward point has the simplest catch to hold onto 79/531.3 spoons this straight to Haris Rauf at mid-on! Afridi rolled his fingers over that one, Abbott went through his shot too early, and it means Rauf had a nice easy catch running backwards. Australia effectively down to their last pair now 140/826.6 Naseem's deserved this. Not a great ball but gets the breakthrough. Zampa made a bit of room and cut the length ball while limboing back. Didn't go hard at it, ended up caressing it straight to the catcher. Pace - 136ks 118/731.5 full and angling away, and Morris's off stump has been knocked back!. Class delivery from Shaheen. Went full, and it seamed away from middle and off. That would have been too good for many better batters; it's certainly much too good for Morris 140/9Extras22 (lb 6, w 16)TOTAL140 all out (31.5 Overs, RR: 4.39)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 3.1 ov), 2-36 (Aaron Hardie, 6.1 ov), 3-56 (Josh Inglis, 10.5 ov), 4-72 (Matthew Short, 13.5 ov), 4-79* (Cooper Connolly, retired not out ), 5-79 (Glenn Maxwell, 17.2 ov), 6-88 (Marcus Stoinis, 20.3 ov), 7-118 (Adam Zampa, 26.6 ov), 8-140 (Sean Abbott, 31.3 ov), 9-140 (Lance Morris, 31.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.6 Played on! 141ks, into the pitch around a back length, the ball rises at pace. Saim got his hands high to try and dink it below with a straight bat but edged it onto the pitch behind. Ball bounced onto the stumps. Saim resigns with a smile. Morris is pumped 85/217.1 Shafique middles a drive... and Morris grabs it in the follow-through! He was still running with the weight taking him away from the pitch. But he had enough time to get both hands out low to the right and pouch it. Pace 141ks. Shafique a touch unlucky but has laid a great platform 84/1Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL143/2 (26.5 Overs, RR: 5.32)Fall of wickets: 1-84 (Abdullah Shafique, 17.1 ov), 2-85 (Saim Ayub, 17.6 ov)
