AUS vs PAK Live Cricket Score

5 OUT! TIMBER! Number three down! Abbas Afridi strikes and the dangerous Short walks back. A slower one on middle. Stays low and also comes slow off the surface. Short looks to go big down the ground but is through the short early and this hits the stumps. Pakistan have come back strongly into the game. 56/3

3.4 OUT! Taken! Number one down! Pakistan needed that! These two were going at a very good pace. Rauf it is yet again who provides the break through. A short one outside off. Jake Fraser-McGurk makes room and looks to slap it over the off side. It goes off the toe end. The fielder at cover tracks back and takes it nicely. Can they get better control of things now? 52/1

4 OUT! TAKEN! The Aussie captain falls. This is just the kind of over Pakistan needed. A fine catch there! On middle. Yet again, this comes slow off the surface. Inglis looks to work it on the leg side but this goes off the leading edge as he closes the face of the bat early. It flies towards cover. The fielder dives forward and takes it brilliantly. 52/2

11.3 OUT! TAKEN! Maxwell goes. That's a massive wicket. What a debut Sufiyan Muqeem is having! On middle. Shortish. This is pulled well but it is on the longer side. It goes straight to deep mid-wicket. Easy catch. 95/5

9.5 OUT! Taken! Stoinis falls. Sufiyan Muqeem gets his man. His first T20I wicket! Stoinis timed that really well! On middle. Fuller. The reverse sweep comes out. He nails it but straight to deep cover. Afridi takes it nicely. Just as a partnership was growing, Pakistan strike. 86/4

15 OUT! TAKEN! Just as we thought the momentum was shifting, Pakistan strike back! Shorter and on middle. David looks to flat bat it over long on but it goes off the splice and Afridi takes it there. Massive wicket. Now this could make a difference of 20 runs to the final score. 115/6

19.4 OUT! That's a poor shot from Hardie. He should have left that. This is way too short and very, very wide. Would have been a wide had he left it. He looks to reach out for it. It goes off the toe end towards the off side. Rizwan takes it. A good little innings from him but Pakistan can surely keep Australia under 150 now. 146/8

15.2 OUT! TAKEN! Spencer Johnson gets his fourth and this time it's the set batter, Usman Khan! Bowls it short of a length, on the leg stump line. Usman Khan is rushed and gets cramped for the pull.

9.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Johnson gets two in two! Back of a length delivery, angling just outside off. Salman Agha looks to defend from the crease but gets an outside edge that is neatly taken by Josh Inglis behind the stumps. Salman departs for a golden duck. Australia are on top. 44/4

15.4 OUT! TOP EDGE AND CAUGHT! A FIVE-WICKET HAUL FOR JOHNSON! Short of a length ball, outside off. Abbas Afridi looks to pull across the line but gets an outside edge that flies toward the cover-point region where Matthew Short settles under and takes a smile catch. 106/6

However, Short in the deep throws the ball to the keeper who whips off the bails at his end to RUN OUT Muqeem who could not make his ground despite the dive. 127/9

19.4 RUN-OUT! A MIX-UP AND GONE! All over for Pakistan. Full toss outside off. Irfan Khan swats it away towards long-on and dashes for a single. Rauf tries to steal a second and takes off but Irfan sends him back. However, it was too late by then as the sweeper in the deep collected the ball and threw it flat to the keeper who whipped off the bails to wrap up the game. Australia win this game by 13 runs and take an unsurpassable lead in the series. 134/10
