PAK vs AUS Live Cricket Score

0.2 OUT! TAKEN! Shaheen Afridi strikes eventually. An early breakthrough for Pakistan as Matthew Short walks back for a duck. Hard length, on middle and leg, Matthew Short looks to drive it on the up, but the ball stops on him and the bat turns in his hands as well. It goes off the bottom half of the bat straight towards mid on. Sahibzada Farhan leaps and takes a good catch above his head. Australia are 0/1. 0/1

26.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi gets rid of the Aussie skipper at a crucial time. This is fuller delivery, on off, angling in a bit. Josh Inglis looks to attack and goes for the big booming drive but his bat turns in his hands. He ends up spooing it off the bottom half of the bat towards mid on, where Sahibzada Farhan takes a simple catch. Inglis is frustrated with himself but has to walk back after another fine knock for his side. Australia are 119/4 now. 119/4

11.5 OUT! MARNUS LABUSCHAGNE IS RUN OUT! A massive mix-up in the middle and Australia lose their second wicket. Arafat Minhas drags his length back and around off, Josh Inglis stays back and swats it wide of long off for a run. Marnus turns blindly for the second run, but is sent back when he is almost reaching Inglis at the other end. Haris Rauf fires in a throw at the bowler's end, where Minhas collects it on the bounce. He turns around, takes aim and hits the stumps at the batter's end. Marnus puts in a desperate dive but is still way short of his crease. He just lies there for a few seconds in disappointment. Australia are 46/2 now. 46/2

22.1 OUT! BOWLED' EM! Oh, that is an exceptional delivery from Haris Rauf. He sprints hard, takes a leap, and punches the air in celebration. He scoots from around the wicket to the lefty, pitching it outside off, on a good length and angles in sharply toward the off pole. Alex Carey gets on his front foot and looks to block it to the off side, but fails to read the inward movement. It sneaks past the inside edge and rattles the top of the off stump. Number 3 goes down for the Aussies with 98 on the board. 98/3

26.4 OUT! TAKEN! Double whammy from Shaheen Afridi, and this game has turned on its head. Pitched-up delivery, on middle, angling in a bit. Cameron Green looks to flick it off his pads with hard hands but the ball just holds up in the surface a bit. He fails to keep his shot down and hits it straight to short mid-wicket, where Babar Azam reacts quickly to take a sharp catch to his right. Australia lose half their side now. 120/5

29.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Abrar Ahmed strikes now. He bowls wrong'un from over the wicket, lands this on middle and gets it to turn away late. Matt Renshaw loses a bit of patience and looks to go big down the ground, but does not read the googly. He only manages to get a thin outside edge towards first slip, where Salman Agha shows excellent reflexes to take a sharp catch around his shoulder with the ball travelling pretty quickly to him. Australia slip from 98/2 to 126/6. 126/6

31.1 OUT! CASTLED! Abrar Ahmed simply outfoxes Connolly here and as the batter walks back, Abrar gives him a wink with a smirk on his face. He bowls it short and pitches it outside off, but turns it in sharply into the batter. Cooper Connolly shuffles across the stumps to paddle it toward short fine leg, but completely misses it. The ball beats the willow and rattles into the stumps behind. Australia are 131 for 7 now. 131/7

34.2 OUT! TAKEN! The luck is just not favouring the Aussies. However, the change to bring Shadab Khan has worked for Pakistan. Flighted and fuller, just outside off. Peake looks to drill it downtown, but gets nicked on the inside edge, before the ball pops off the left part of the front leg's boot. After that, the ball loops toward the right of the keeper, Ghazi Ghori dives forward to pouch the catch. Initially, after appealing, the umpire sends it upstairs. The third umpire takes some time and gives the verdict as OUT, after watching it from different angles. Finally, a wicket for Shadab in this series, and it is all smiles in the Pakistani huddle. 137/8

41.2 OUT! BOWLED' EM! The wrong'un does the trick for Shadab Khan and he gets his second wicket. Googly, pitching it on a nagging length, on off. Adam Zampa rocks back and tries to punch it through cover with the spin, but plays all over it. The ball stays low after pitching on the track and bamboozles the batter as it rattles the stumps. 156/9

42 OUT! NATHAN ELLIS IS RUN OUT! That pretty much sums up the Aussies' outing with the bat. Australia have been bowled out for just 157. Shadab Khan bowls this short and on middle, turns in, Matthew Kuhnemann stays back and tucks it towards square leg. He calls for the run, but Ellis is hesitant initially, before setting off eventually. Shamyl Hussain (Sub) picks up the ball and throws it on the bounce to the keeper's end, where Ghazi Ghori collects it and breaks the stumps with Ellis well shrot of his crease. 157/10

3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Nathan Ellis works his magic yet again and gets the first breakthrough. He rolls his fingers to bowl the fast off-cutter and executes it to perfection, on off, grips, and moves in sharply. Sahibzada Farhan fails to read it and tries to punch it away from the crease without any footwork. He leaves a big gap between bat and pad and the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Farhan is not happy with himself, but has to walk back cheaply here. Pakistan are 27/1, chasing 158 runs. 27/1

7.3 OUT! LBW! That's a huge appeal and the finger goes up. Maaz Sadaqat goes upstairs to have a check. Fired in from Maaz Sadaqat, on middle, Maaz Sadaqat gets down on one knee and looks to slog it but misses it completely. The ball goes onto hit his pads. An appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Maaz Sadaqat sends it upstairs. Nothing on Ultra Edge and Ball Tracking shows three reds. Maaz Sadaqat makes his way back into the shed. Pakistan are 41/2 after 7.3 overs. They now need 117 from 255 balls. 41/2

29.1 OUT! TIMBER! That's a ripper from Matthew Kuhnemann. This one lands on leg and turns in sharply. Babar Azam stays back and looks to block it but gets beaten on the turn as the ball rattles over the off pole. A huge wicket for Australia as the dangerous Babar Azam departs. Pakistan are 112/5 after 29.1 overs now. They need 46 runs more from 125 balls. 112/5

13 OUT! TIMBER! Matthew Kuhnemann strikes eventually. No reviews needed for this one. Fired in, full and on off, with a hint of turn. Ghazi Ghori gets low and looks to slog it but misses it completely. The ball goes on to rattle the off pole. Matthew Kuhnemann has the last laugh. Pakistan are 60/3 after 13 overs. 60/3

23.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Matthew Kuhnemann gets his second wicket, and Australia are very much in the game. Tossed up, fuller, offering a lot of flight, pitching it on off and drifting away. Salman Agha plants his front foot and tries to defend it away, but induces a thin outside edge behind, where Josh Inglis takes a sharp catch. Pakistan are 93/4, chasing 158 runs. 93/4

30.4 OUT! TAKEN! The Australian side are all pumped up. Short of a length, pitching it just outside off and turning it away from the batter. Arafat Minhas hangs back and tries to punch it away from the body, but gets nicked on the outside edge, before it flies to the slip fielder, where Cameron Green takes a good catch. 112/6
