Going down to the wire - Right then, we are two games down in this three-match ODI series, and both Pakistan and Australia have won a game each. We now stay in Lahore for the 3rd and final ODI of this series. That game will be played on Thursday, June 4, and will begin at 11.30 am GMT. However, as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Cheers!
The skipper of Australia - Josh Inglis explains that the team focused heavily on their batting approach during a quick turnaround, leading to crucial partnerships and contributions across the entire lineup on a slow surface. Josh also notes that the squad aimed to remain patient and post a competitive total above 200. Inglis also playfully shifts the blame to his bowlers for a couple of failed DRS reviews. Inglis concludes by crediting Nathan Ellis for an outstanding performance, highlighting how the bowler's exceptional pace variations between 100 kph and 145 kph.
The captain of Pakistan - Shaheen Afridi believes his team conceded 20 to 30 extra runs in the final few overs, while an early loss of wickets shifted the pressure onto their batting lineup. Shaheen adds that the spin-friendly track makes batting difficult, but points out that the ball begins to come onto the bat more smoothly during the second innings. Afridi credits Ellis for finding immense success on this surface by consistently attacking the stumps.
POTM - Nathan Ellis is given the accolade for his match-winning figures of 4 for 33 in 9 overs. Nathan Ellis says that when you get the new ball and a wicket like this, you need to deliver for the team. On being asked about how difficult it is to become a sole pacer for a team, he replies that it's not something to be pressured about. He reckons that one of the important aspects of his team is being flexible and willing to try something better. On his bowling approach, Ellis says that he tried to bowl low and slow on this track. Also says that slower balls were working, so he was just sticking to the plan.
The Presentation ceremony...
Another low-scoring affair - We saw the pitch grip and stay low in Rawalpindi, and it was the same story in Lahore. The deck was dry and aided the spinners, but it was more consistent spin than just uneven turn and bounce like in Pindi. Shaheen Afridi had no hesitation in bowling first and he himself got the ball rolling by picking the wicket of Alex Carey on the very first ball of the game. It was then a tussle between the Pakistani spinners and the Aussie batters as Arafat Minhas yet again stood up and got a couple of wickets. A couple of half centuries from Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, along with a couple of solid knocks from Matt Renshaw and especially Oliver Peake at the death, got Australia to a really decent total of 231, given the nature of the surface. Like Minhas, Abrar Ahmed, and Haris Rauf also got a couple of wickets as Shaheen stood out with a three-fer for his side.
Uninspired batting from the hosts - Pakistan managed to gun down a low target in the last game, but they were sluggish to say the least, and again, they made a relatively low target look pretty high. The top order fumbled hard as Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat were dismissed within the space of 6 deliveries. Babar Azam and Ghazi Ghori tried to stitch together a game-clinching stand just like the last game but Babar was dismissed by Ellis. Ghori did score some valuable runs but the likes of Salman Agha and Abdul Samad were sent back cheaply. There was some hope renewed when Shadab Khan and Arafat Minhas got together and the duo put on a stand of 59 runs before Minhas was dismissed. Shadab kept the fight alive until the end, but he was the last to fall on a score of 71, as the hosts lost by a heavy margin of 41 runs.
Setting the tone up top - Nathan Ellis and Matthew Kuhnemann were destructive up top and picked up a wicket each inside the first 8 balls. Ellis is known for his slower balls, and this was a pitch tailor-made for him. He ran riot inside the first Powerplay and even got the prized wicket of Babar Azam. Not only him, but the spinners worked well in tandem and had the hosts reeling at 44/4 and then at 78/6 as well. Matthew Short did a fine job ripping through the Pakistani middle order and he ended up with three wickets to his name. Adam Zampa and Kuhnemann got a wicket each as Ellis brought up his career-best ODI bowling figures, finishing with 4 for 33. Tanveer Sangha was a bit unlucky not to get a wicket sooner, but he did get the final and most important wicket of Shadab Khan.
Aussies answer back in style - What a way to level the series, and the Aussie bowlers have done a fine job to bowl Pakistan out and make the final game a do-or-die contest. Pakistan fought hard through their middle order, but it was always a mountain too high, given the number of wickets they lost in the first half of the chase.

Tanveer Sangha To Shadab Khan OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! Australia win this contest by 41 runs and level the series 1-1 with a game to spare. Fuller, wide down the leg side, Shadab Khan goes for a flick but misses and falls over. His back foot drags out of the crease and Josh Inglis gathers this behind the stumps fairly and dislodges the bails in time. This is sent upstairs for a stumping check and the replay shows that Shadab was out of his crease when the bails were dislodged by Josh Inglis. OUT flashes on the giant screen.
Abrar Ahmed is the last man in.

Nathan Ellis To Haris Rauf OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Nathan Ellis gets Australia within touching distance and picks up a four-fer as well. Slower ball, after slower ball, but now Ellis goes pace on. This is bowled relatively full and on off. Haris Rauf gets pegged onto the back foot and tries to fend it away but the ball nips back in, beats the bat and castles into the stump. Rauf goes for a 15-ball duck, and Pakistan still need 43 to win with just one wicket in hand.

Flatter one from the front of the hand, attacking middle, Khan jams it out.
Into the final 10 overs we go. Australia will be eager to wrap things up and will now be allowed as many as 5 fielders outside the ring. Whereas Pakistan will be hoping that Shadab Khan can take the fight deep. With that said, Adam Zampa is back into the attack. There is a slight halt as Shadab Khan seems to be struggling with cramps and the physio is out, tending to him. After a couple of minutes, we are good to go again.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The change to bring Matthew Short into the attack has worked wonders for Australia, but the danger man is still out there. A touch fuller, pitching it just outside off, angling in, but turns it away. Shaheen Afridi stays on his back foot and tries to cut it away, but the ball just kisses the outside edge, and the rest of the work is done by Josh Inglis, behind the stumps.

Cameron Green To Shadab Khan
Shadab Khan just manages to stay alive! Much fuller, just behind the yorker length, on middle. Shadab Khan jams it toward the right of the bowler. Khan watches the bowler is not charging toward the ball and for that reason, he calls for a single, but Shaheen Afridi is ball watching, and eventually Shadab has to turn back. Tanveer Sangha sprints in from mid off, gathers the ball cleanly and manages to score a direct hit at the striker's end. However, the third umpire has been called into the action, and he sees that Shadab dives and just manages to drag his bat into the crease.
Is that a run out? Josh Inglis seems confident and this could be the game for Australia. It was Shadab's call and he ran halfway down the pitch before scampering back. Tanveer Sangha with the direct hit at the keeper's end, but replays show that Shadab managed to dive home to safety. NOT OUT!

What a start from Cameron Green! He pitches it on off and manages to swing into the batter. Shadab Khan punches late at it, toward mid off. Appeal goes around, but the umpire remains unmoved.
DRINKS! What a bowling change and what a time to strike from Nathan Ellis as well. Pakistan seemed well and truly back in the game, but that wicket of Arafat Minhas has put Australia well in front yet again. With 95 needed for the win, Pakistan only have 4 wickets remaining and there's a new batter at the crease. Shadab Khan will have to pull a miracle if he is to take his side over the line. With that said, Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat at number 8. Also, Cameron Green comes into the attack for the first time in this game.

Nathan Ellis To Arafat Minhas OUT!
OUT! LBW! A massive moment in the contest as Nathan Ellis breaks this threatening partnership. Back of a length, around off, Arafat Minhas looks to cut this off his back foot, but it's too close to cut. Minhas gets hit on his back pad, and a gentle appeal is all that the umpire needed to raise his finger here. Arafat Minhas sends this upstairs. UltraEdge shows that it is clearly pad first and Ball Tracker shows three reds with the ball thumping into the off-pole. On-field decision of OUT stays. Pakistan still need 95 runs to win.

Another enquiry for LBW, but a stifled one. Bowled from the front of the hand, on a length and on middle. Shadab Khan rocks back to defend, but there's again the question of whether the bat was in front of the pads or not. No review taken.

However, Ghazi Ghori is still out there, battling it out and has a capable partner in the form of Shadab Khan. The Aussies know that a wicket or two more in the next 5-10 overs, and it will be game over for the hosts. Let's see if Pakistan can keep fighting and find a way to make a real match out of this one.

Matthew Short To Abdul Samad OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Pakistan, despite scoring at a healthy rate are in shambles as half of their side is already back in the dressing room. Quicker offie, around middle and off, turning into the batter, Abdul Samad stands tall and looks to work this through square leg but closes his bat face early and lobs this straight off the outside edge towards Matthew Short. Pakistan are 58 for 5.

Slider around off, Abdul Samad rocks back and blocks this out.
That's the end of the first Powerplay! Australia have started the innings with flying colours. After the completion of the first ten overs, Pakistan are now 53 for 4. As the restrictions lift, Australia are now allowed to have a maximum of 4 fielders outside the inner ring for overs 11-40. This might help the Pakistani batters to rotate the strike with a bit of ease. Also, Adam Zampa has been brought into the attack.

Matthew Short To Salman Agha OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! That's a brute of a delivery, and Pakistan are in tatters at 44/4. Matthew Short delivers this one quicker at 95.4 clicks, a bit fuller and just outside off. It is the natural variation, the one that drifts in but doesn't turn. Salman Agha plays for the spin and looks to block down the line, but the ball straightens, beats the outside edge and smashes into the off pole. Australia are well in control now.

Half an appeal for LBW, mostly from the keeper, but it is turned down. The arm ball now, slides back in towards middle stump. Ghori gets pushed back and defends it out. Josh Inglis thought it was pad first, but replays show that it came off the middle of the bat. Wow, UltraEDge later shows that it was indeed pad first and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have hit the stumps as well. Opportunity missed by Australia.

Nathan Ellis To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! LBW! The umpire had a long think about it, and eventually, he raised his finger. A very close call, but it does stand and Babar Azam has to walk back, amidst the disappointment of the crowd. Slower one from Nathan Ellis, a bit full and outside off. The off-cutter grips and cuts back in sharply. Babar Azam is late to get his front leg out and play at it and gets beaten past the inside edge, getting struck on the pads. There's an appeal and up goes the finger, but Babar reviews it. Initially, it did seem like an inside edge and that's what Babar indicated as well, but replays show that there's no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows the impact as umpire's call and wickets as hitting and Azam has to walk back.
Review time! The on-field decision is out after a huge roar of appeal from the Aussies. Babar Azam opted for a review. The UltraEdge shows no bat involvement and the Ball Tracking shows that the impact on the pad is umpire's call and the ball is nipping in to hit the middle stump. Pakistan retained their review though.

OUT! PLAYED ON! That seemed to take place in slow motion, and Australia too get a wicket in the very first over. Nathan Ellis bowls the slower one, at 111.1 kph, and angles it across off on a back of a length. Maaz Sadaqat has a tentative poke at it and gets an inside edge onto the deck. He tries to see where the ball is going and it just lands on top of the bails, which fall off and Sadaqat is in disbelief.
