PAK vs AUS Live Cricket Score

2.3 OUT! LBW! Shaheen Afridi strikes and Pakistan get a very early wicket. It is a length ball, pitching on off. It nips in a long way off the deck. David Warner stays inside the crease, tries to defend it out but fails to get any blade on it. He gets beaten by the movement to get pinged on his pads. Shaheen Afridi appeals and the umpire raises his fingers in a flash. David Warner walks down the track, has a chat with Usman Khawaja, but decides to continue his walk to the pavilion. A dream start for Pakistan with the ball.  8/1

74.1 OUT! CAUGHT! WHAT A CATCH BY BABAR AZAM! The skipper step up when it matters the most. Sajid Khan gets the big wicket of Usman Khawaja and send him back on 91. Australia lose their fourth wicket. It is looped up, full, around middle and leg. Usman Khawaja tries to work it to the leg side. The ball grips and turns away. It takes the outside edge and flies to the right of Babar Azam at first slip. He dives to that side and gathers the ball with one hand. The umpire raises his finger straightaway. Cameron Green is the new batter at the crease.  187/4

2.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This is another short stay for Marnus Labuschagne at the crease in this series. Shaheen Afridi is runnning riots with the ball here. He picks up his second wicket of the over. Pakistan on top of proceedings within just three overs of play. It is a full-length delivery, outside off, shaping across the right-hander. Marnus Labuschagne goes flirting away from his body. The ball takes the outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan does the rest behind the sticks.  8/2

56.2 OUT! LBW! Naseem Shah does get the breakthrough and it's the big wicket of Steven Smith! A length ball, slanting in off the surface from the off stump. Smith shuffles across the off stump and looks to work it leg side. The ball skids a bit and Smith his shot and gets pinged on the pads. The umpire has his finger raised in a jiffy and Smith isn't even going to have a chat with his partner. That is dead straight and Steven Smith has to depart. Naseem Shah gets his deserved wicket.  146/3

81 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a decision to not take the second new ball straightaway! Naseem Shah has been exceptional today and gets his second wicket. He follows up the previous good delivery with a ball that is angled into off. The ball straightens after pitching and Travis Head has a poke at it. Head gets a faint outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan does well to get low to his left and complete the catch. Pakistan regaining their early advantage late in the day.  206/5

124.5 OUT! Cleaned up! This is fabulous bowling from Naseem Shah! At the start of the over, the field was moved around a bit for the short ball. This created a bit of doubt in Green's mind, who started to hang back a bit. This is on a nagging length, on the fifth stump line. Cameron Green doesn't get a good stride forward and the ball tails back in a long way. Green ends up playing away from the body and the ball goes through bat and pad, castling into off stump. Shah gets his third wicket and deservingly so.  353/7

120 OUT! LBW! Alex Carey holes out on 67. His valiant knock comes to an end. Just in the last over, one of the one-air commentators said that he is confident of both these batters racking up their first Test tons here. Well, the commentators curse has struck yet again. It is tossed up, outside off. The ball grips and turns in off the deck. Alex Carey is rooted inside the crease and gets struck on the pads, as he fails to defend it out. Nauman Ali appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. Alex Carey has a chat with his partner and decides to take the review. The review goes Pakistan's way, while Carey has only one way to go, that is to the pavilion.  341/6

130 OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi gets his third wicket. Mitchell Starc's cameo comes to an end, Afridi has the last laugh here. In fact, he has the last roar, in his celebration. It is full, outside off, tailing in a bit, at 142 clicks. Mitchell Starc ends up chipping it in front of mid off. Nauman Ali charges in and takes a sharp catch diving forward. Also, in the mini-contest between Afridi and Shah. The score is 3-3.  369/8

131 OUT! BOWLED! Nothing better than a full ball coming back into the tailender and it is just too quick for Nathan Lyon. Naseem Shah bends his back this time and goes full and at the stumps at 144.5 kph. The ball nips back in sharply and richocets off Lyon's pads before hitting the middle stump. This has truly been a brilliant performance from the young pacer and with just one wicket remaining in the innings, he probably deserves to get that elusive five-wicket haul.  374/9

133.3 OUT! Cleaned up! Shaheen Afridi picks up his fourth wicket and that will be the end of the Australian innings. Afridi switches to 'round the wicket and hurls across a yorker on middle stump. It is just too quick for Mitchell Swepson to keep out and the ball sneaks under the willow to hit the base of middle stump. This has been a roaring come back from the Pakistani pacers and they have bundle out Australia for 391 runs!  391/10

71.2 OUT! There is a spike on the UltraEdge and finally, Australia have a breakthrough that they so desperately needed. Lyon tosses it up nicely outside off and on a nagging length. Abdullah Shafique prods forward and has a push at it but seems to be beaten past the outside edge as this one doesn't turn. There is not much appeal from Alex Carey behind the stumps but Travis Head at silly point is very much interested as he turns and appeals vociferously. Australia have just one review left and eventually, Pat Cummins decides to take the chance. UltraEdge shows that there is a clear spike as the ball goes past the bottom part of the bat and the on-field decision will be reversed. Sharp take from Carey but strangely he had no idea about the outside edge. Shafique departs after a top knock. Full marks to Travis Head there as he was the only one convinced, neither the bowler nor the keeper appealed much.  170/2

12.1 OUT! LBW! What a move from the skipper! Pat Cummins brings himself back into the attack and gets the breakthrough straightaway. Cummins comes 'round the wicket and angles one in a touch fuller and on middle. Imam-ul-Haq looks to flick it leg side but falls over a bit and ends up playing all around it. He gets pinged on the pads and the finger is raised in a jiffy. Imam consults with Shafique but it looks adjacent and he doesn't review it. The replay shows that the ball was going on to hit the leg stump.  20/1

86.4 OUT! SENSATIONAL RETURN CATCH! Captain Courageous has done it for his team. This man gives more than 100 per cent on the field, be it as a bowler or a fielder. Great athleticism shown by him to grab that. Patto is pumped up! Both the set batters have been removed in the afternoon session. Fuller in length, around off at 138.5 kph, Azhar Ali takes a tiny step forward and attempts to drive it down the ground. He fails to keep it down though and Cummins snaps it with both hands in his followthrough. Quite exceptional. Heartbreak not just for Azhar Ali but his son also who is watching from the stands. Pakistan trail by 177 runs.  214/3

116.1 OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc goes wide of the crease and angles it into middle and leg. Babar Azam looks to work it through mid-wicket but the ball skids through and Azam falls over a bit in his stance. He gets rapped on the pads and there is a huge appeal. The finger is raised in a jiffy and Babar Azam has no option other than to review the LBW decision at this stage. Babar seems to be caught plumb in front but given the angle of the delivery, it might be missing leg slightly. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and Ball Tracking shows that the ball is going to clip the leg stump. Azam goes after a well-compiled knock and Starc has his third wicket.  268/9

106.3 OUT! Cleaned up! Mitchell Starc repays the faith his skipper has shown in him and gets the breakthrough. Starc angles it in from around the off stump line, on a nagging length, at 137 kph, that is full but not full enough. Fawad Alam looked unsettled for the entirety of his stay at the crease and goes on the back foot when he really should have come forward. The ball comes in with the angle, there could be some movement off the surface too, and goes through bat and pad, castling into off stump. Is this going to open the floodgates for the Aussies?  248/4

110.2 OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Starc is turning on the heat and doing the job for his team. It's certainly reversing and Starc becomes deadly when that happens. Mitch speeds in from 'round the wicket, he darts it on a length and around off at 138.5 kph. Mohammad Rizwan tries to cover the line and defend it but it straightens a hint to beat the bat and goes on to destroy the stumps. Mohammad Rizwan is left bamboozled. Australia have their tail up, Pakistan will feel the pressure as they still trail by 135 runs.  256/5

113.4 OUT! CASTLED! Pat Cummins picks up another wicket and Pakistan lose their sixth. Perfect length this time from the Aussie skipper. He knows Sajid Khan is looking to drive and hence bowls it a bit fuller, around 137 clicks but wide of off stump. Khan goes for the cover drive, playing away from his body and the ball just reverses in a bit. Khan gets an inside edge and the ball goes on to shatter the off stump. The hard work seems to be paying off for the visitors late in the day and they can now smell blood.  264/6

115.1 OUT! Nauman Ali reviewed the decision for an LBW decision but to no avail. Pat Cummins is on a marauding spell at the moment as he picks up his fourth wicket. Cummins comes from 'round the wicket and serves it on a length close to the off pole. The ball pitches and nips back in sharply off the surface. Nauman Ali gets caught on the crease as he looks to block it out. He misses and gets pinged in front. The finger goes up. This one seems to be adjacent but Pakistan haven't lost any reviews so decided to use one in hope. UltraEdge confirms that there's no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Pakistan are in a spot of real bother now.  268/7

115.5 OUT! TAKEN! A 5-WICKET HAUL FOR CUMMINS! Pat Cummins becomes the first pacer in the series to pick up a fifer and boy hasn't he deserved it today! Cummins pitches it up, a bit outside off. Hasan Ali leans in and looks to push it out towards covers. The ball reverses away from the right-hander this time and the ball goes off the face of the bat towards first slip. Steven Smith has had a mixed bag in the slips but takes a sharp low catch this time. Cummins is too good for the Pakistani lower order and Australia are a couple of wickets away from wrapping up things in the first innings.  268/8

116.4 OUT! TIMBER! Mitchell Starc cleans up Naseem Shah and Pakistan have been bundled out for 268! Starc serves a brilliant yorker that tails in late into the off stump. The pace and the reverse swing is just too much to handle for the number 11 batter and Shah can only watch back as the bails come off. The ball crashes into the base of off stump and Pakistan have collapsed from a position of strength! Mitchell Starc picks up 4 wickets and Australia have just steamrolled the Pakistani tail.  268/10

28.1 OUT! Cleaned up! What a ripper of a delivery from Shaheen Afridi! Afridi angles it in around off, at 138 kph and this is on a perfect length as well. David Warner just hangs back and looks to get behind the line of the ball. The ball straightens after pitching and Warner is well beaten. The ball hits the off stump and sends it cartwheeling off the ground. On a closer look at the replays, we can detect some reverse swing with the shiny part of the ball inside. Warner played for the inward movement but perhaps it landed on one of the cracks or on the seam of the ball and went straight on. Not to be ashamed of if you get out to such deliveries. Afridi shakes hands with Warner as he walks off and the exciting contest between these two has come to an end. Australia lead by 219 runs.  96/1

47.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The trap was set and Marnus Labuschagne falls into it perfectly! Nauman Ali is coming from over the wicket, trying to make use of the rough. Ali bowls it a bit quicker and fuller, around the leg stump line. Labuschagne gets down on one knee and has a bit of a swat at it. Labuschagne doesn't time it well enough and the ball flies down off the top edge towards the man stationed at the mid-wicket fence. Sajid Khan takes a simple catch and Nauman Ali is elated. Australia lead by 284 runs.  161/2

58.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Naseem strikes and is elated. Hurls it on a good length close to off, at 137.7 kph and it straightens just a hint after landing. Steven Smith has a tame push inside the line and gets a feather behind. Mohammad Rizwan collects a fine catch diving to his left, gets up to appeal and the finger goes up. Smith ain't sure and takes the DRS but the UltraEdge detects a spike. The lead for Australia is 339 runs.  216/3

30.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A massive breakthrough for Australia. This is just what Australia wanted heading into Day 5. They have broken this opening stand and have gotten rid of the in-form Abdullah Shafique. Pakistan lose their first wicket early on Day 5. This one was on a length, outside off, shaping away. Abdullah Shafique leans to block this but he manages to get an outside edge back to the keeper. Alex Carey takes an easy catch there. Cameron Green with the first wicket!  77/1

61.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Lyon strikes straightaway after Lunch and this is a huge wicket for Australia! It is Imam-ul-Haq who has to walk back to the hut. Lovely bowling this from the GOAT and Pakistan find themselves in a spot of bother now. Lyon comes over the wicket and serves a flatter ball, on a length, around middle and spinning away late. Imam prods to block but it goes off the inside edge, onto the pad and the ball pops out towards Marnus Labuschagne at silly point who takes a sitter. Australia appeal and the umpire agrees. Imam opts for a review but the UltraEdge shows a clear spike as the ball passes the bat. Australia on top!  142/3

45.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Australia opt for a review as they think Azhar Ali has got an inside edge before the ball pops out towards the first slip fielder who grabs it. It turns out to be a successful one for Australia as they get rid of Azhar Ali! Now coming to the ball - Lyon tosses it up, well outside off and spinning in late. Azhar Ali kneels to sweep but he gets an inside edge onto his pad. The ball lobs up towards Steven Smith at first slip and he does the rest. The UltraEdge rolls in and it shows a slight spike. The third umpire asks the on-field umpire to reverse his decision. A huge blow for Pakistan as they lose their second wicket. AUSTRALIA BELIEVE!  105/2

83.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! That's the wicket Australia were looking for and there is absolute silence at the Gaddafi stadium as Babar Azam walks back. Nathan Lyon strikes and grabs his third wicket. Pakistan are now 6 down. Australia do have this game in their pocket now. Coming to the ball - This was a full ball, much straighter on this occasion. Babar Azam leans to defend this but the ball goes off the outside edge towards first slip. Steven Smith there, who has dropped a few earlier, holds on to this one. He takes a sharp low catch towards his left.  213/6

68.4 OUT! LBW! Pat Cummins brings himself into the attack and he strikes straightaway! Pakistan lose their fourth wicket and they are in some sort of trouble now! Pat Cummins serves this on a fuller length, around off, shaping away just a tad. Fawad Alam looks to dig it out but he plays down the wrong line and misses. The ball goes past his outside edge and hits him on the pad. The umpire raises his finger after an appeal for LBW from Australia. Fawad Alam opts for a review. The UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and the Ball Tracker shows three reds! Fawad Alam has to walk back. Pakistan lose a review as well.  165/4
