AUS vs PAK Live Cricket Score

6.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What an unusual way to get out but Mitchell Starc and Australia will not mind one bit! Starc angles this across, on a back of a length, outside off, Abdullah Shafique seeing the line going away from him opts to sway away from the line of the ball. He is a bit lazy in getting his bat out of the way. Leaves his bat out hanging there. The ball catches a feather on the toe-end of the bat and Josh Inglis collects it comfortably to his right. 24/2

2.4 OUT! TIMBER! Starc gets rid of the debutant! This will set the perfect tone for Australia. Saim Ayub has to walk back for just 1 run. Starc hurls it on a length, just outside off, tempting the batter to push ahead and play at it. Gets the ball to nip back in a bit and it catches an inside edge that rockets back into the off stump. Pakistan are rocked early and are 3/1. Starc gets his 100th ODI wicket on home soil. 3/1

17.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Instant impact for Adam Zampa! An error in judgment from Babar and he pays the price! Another one from Zampa that is pushed through but this is on the fuller side, on off, Azam goes on the back foot to a delivery he should have been on the front foot. The ball stays a bit low and skids off the deck. It goes under the vertical bat of Babar and clatters into the off stump. Babar goes for 37 (44). The 39-run stand is broken. Pakistan are now 63/3. 63/3

31.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Marnus Labuschagne gets the big wicket of Rizwan. An inspired bowling change from Cummins. A body blow to Pakistan. Marnus slows it down a bit and drags the length back, on off, Rizwan reaches out in front again and tries to play the paddle sweep this time. Takes the risk of playing against the turn and he fails to control the shot. Gets a top edge that loops up behind to the left of the keeper. Josh Inglis is alert to where the ball is and runs to his left to snaffle it with ease. Rizwan goes for 44 (71). Pakistan are now 117/6 after 31.4 overs. 117/6

19 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An absolute snorter from Pat Cummins! Pakistan lose wickets off successive overs and they are in a spot of bother here. Cummins stays over the wicket and slips in a sharp and quick bumper, at the right shoulder of the batter. Ghulam looks to fend it down off the back foot but the ball keeps coming at him and climbs onto him. It brushes the glove and goes behind to the keeper, Josh Inglis who does the rest. 70/4

27 OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball ploy works wonders for Sean Abbott and Australia! Pakistan lose half their side for just 101 runs! Abbott digs it in short and puts some extra effort to get it into the surface on middle and leg, Salman Agha is late on his pull and gets it off the upper half of the bat. The ball lobs towards Matthew Short at square leg who times his jump well and grabs the ball with both hands over his head. Sean Abbott joins the wicket tally and Pakistan are in deep trouble now. 101/5

42.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh dear, what an unfortunate way to get out on debut! After a decent knock under pressure, Irfan Khan has to trudge back! Glenn Maxwell bowls this short and on off, Irfan Khan looks to reverse sweep and miscues it straight in front of backward point. He sets off for the run but slips and splits just after a couple of strides. He gets back up and charges through to complete the run but Matthew Short is quick to throw the ball back to Glenn Maxwell who knocks the bails off. The third umpire is brought in to check and Irfan Khan is short of the crease at the bowling end. Moreover, Irfan tried to plonk his bat in rather than making an effort to slide it in. Wonder if sliding the bat in could have helped him there. 175/8

36.4 OUT! CASTLED! The fun is over for Afridi! Starc stays over the wicket and hurls it full and straight, at the stumps, Shaheen Afridi stays leg side of the ball and swings for the hills. Heaves across the line but fails to lay any bat on it. The ball goes past the bat and crashes into the stumps. Starc has a big smile on his face. Third wicket for the game for the left-arm speedster. 148/7

46.4 OUT! TAKEN! Pat Cummins brings an end to the entertainment from Nasseem! Cummins hurls it full and angles it in, on off, Naseem presents a straight bat to go down the ground. Does not commit to the shot completely and just checks his shot. Fails to keep it along the ground and hits it flat and straight down the throat of mid off where Mitchell Starc takes it safely near his chest. Naseem goes for 40 (39). Pakistan have been bowled out for 203 with 20 balls left unused in the innings. 203/10

43.5 OUT! TIMBER! Adam Zampa gets his second and Pakistan lose their 9th! Zampa lands it nice and full, on middle and leg and gets the ball to shape back in just a touch, Haris Rauf skips down the pitch and looks for a glory shot but misses on all ends. The ball goes through the huge gap between the bat and pad to rattle the top of leg stump. An unnecessary shot and Australia inch closer to rolling Pakistan over! 183/9

2.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Fine catch by Saim Ayub! Shaheen Afridi gives Pakistan the early breakthrough. Afridi bashes the back of a length, on off, Matthew Short goes for the pull but fails to get on top of the bounce and tries to drag it away on the leg side. Gets a top edge that goes straight up towards backward point. The keeper, the deep third fielder and Saim Ayub from backward point converge with Ayub turning around, trying to settle under it from the mentioned position. He calls for it and takes a safe catch. 19/1

4 OUT! TAKEN! Naseem Shah roars in delight! Jake Fraser-McGurk runs out of luck and Pakistan have managed to send both openers back in the hut early. Naseem lands it on a back of a length, on middle and leg, Jake Fraser-McGurk hangs back and shapes up to go across the line. The ball gets big on him and hits the splice of the bat. It balloons towards wide mid on where Irfan Khan takes a dolly. 28/2

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Haris Rauf gets away with that delivery and Steven Smith will be kicking himself for giving away his wicket to a delivery he would have put away 9 times out of 10. Rauf offers width and keeps it short, outside off, Steven Smith hops back and looks to slash it over the infield on off but fails to get the elevation. Hits it towards backward point where Saim Ayub times his leap right and takes a very fine catch over his head. Steven Smith walks back for 44 off 46 balls and Australia are now 113/3, needing 91 more runs. 113/3

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh dear, a blinder from Irfan Khan soon after that valiant effort and this it just outstanding stuff! Pakistan needed something special in the middle and they just got that. Afridi digs it in short again, but not very short, on middle. This sits up well for Josh Inglis to pull but he gets a bit late on the shot. Hits it flat and to the left of deep mid-wicket. Irfan Khan is quick across the turf and dives to his left to grab the ball with both his hands. Josh Inglis departs after a well made 49 off 42 and Pakistan will see a slight opening to push themselves through now. 139/4

20.1 OUT! TAKEN! Australia lose two in quick succession and it is game on! Haris digs it in short, around off, Marnus Labuschagne hops and tries to rise with the bounce to glide it down to deep third with an opened bat face. The ball gets big on him and plays it a bit too close to his body. Fails to control the shot as it catches the shoulder of the bat and flies down to deep third. Irfan Khan runs in off the ropes and slides in front to take the catch. From 113/2, Australia have slipped to 139/5, needing 65 runs. 139/5

25.1 OUT! TIMBER! Mohammad Hasnain strikes! Hasnain did not have the best of the first spells but has fought back well in the second spell and he now gets the reward. Hasnain hits the deck hard and gets the ball to skid through, on a nagging length, at the stumps, Aaron Hardie premeditates as he backs away to the leg side and ends up giving himself too much room. Hardie goes for the cut but fails to connect. The ball scoots under his bat and clatters into the stumps. Hardie goes for 10 (19). Australia are now 155/7, needing 49 runs. 155/7

20.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Two in two for Rauf! The game has turned on its head and how! Australia lose three in quick succession without adding a run and Haris Rauf is now on a hattrick! Rauf steams in from over the wicket and lands it on a nagging length, around off, Glenn Maxwell looks to get closer to the line of the ball and ends up having a slight poke at the delivery. Gets a feather on it and the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan does the rest. Pakistan have their tails up. Australia are 6 down now and still need 65 more. 139/6

29.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear, that's sloppy from Sean Abbott and this wicket could cost them the game. Shaheen Afridi bangs it into the deck, on a back of a length and on off, Pat Cummins punches it well through cover and gets two runs with ease. Salman Agha charges for the ball, slides ahead and picks it up nicely to throw it. His throw lacks power and it dribbles towards the bowling end. Pat Cummins sets off for the third and so does Sean Abbott. Shaheen Afridi moves across to collect the ball and turns around to hit the bullseye at the striker's end. Sean Abbott wasn't expecting the throw to be relayed back at his end and failed to make his ground in time. The third umpire is called into action and the replays show that Sean is short of his crease. Big, big moment in the game. 185/8
