PAK vs AUS Live Cricket Score

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! Starc strikes! A welcome wicket for the Aussies. These two were really taking Pakistan in pole position. Nevertheless, end of a brilliant knock from Rizwan. Would have loved to be there till the end but he has probably done his job. Starc goes full and wide outside off again. This is really full, difficult to get under those. Rizwan looks to go over mid off but it goes off the toe end. A simple catch to Smith there inside the ring. 143/2

10 OUT! TAKEN! The leggie does it and finally, the stand between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is broken! The last few overs were really tidy and something had to happen. Azam takes Zampa on but has to walk back to the hut. This is tossed up, around off. Babar Azam slog-sweeps but does not middle it cleanly. The ball goes towards wide long on. David Warner is stationed there and this time, he takes an easy catch over his head. He is all pumped up, it's a big wicket for Australia. 71/1

18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! The crowd has been silenced! Cummins gets rid of the dangerous Asif on the very first ball. Good stuff from the pacer. Goes full and wide outside off. A slower one. Asif looks to drag it over the long on fence but is a touch early in the stroke. It goes off the toe-end and Smith makes no mistake there in the deep. This is a crucial wicket, could stop Pakistan from getting to 180. 158/3

19.2 OUT! TIMBER! Australia finishing strongly here. Just the 4 runs from the last 8 balls. Shoaib Malik fails to make an impact in this game. Once again Starc bangs it on a length at 84 mph from 'round the wicket. Shoaib Malik looks to pull but this one does not bounce as much as he expected it to. He misses and the stumps are rearranged. 162/4

10.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shadab Khan is the man for Pakistan! He gets the big, big wicket of Warner and Khan is running in celebration! How often have we seen a wicket fall after the break? This is quicker and angled across Warner. He goes for the drive but fails to middle his shot. Mohammad Rizwan grabs the ball behind the stumps. There is a huge appeal and up goes the finger! A big moment in this game and the Australian lower order will be under huge pressure now. OH! HOLD ON! UltraEdge shows no spike. Warner would have been safe had he reviewed it! Massive miss. 89/4

0.3 OUT! LBW! A perfect start for Pakistan! Shaheen Afridi has done it again. What a bowler, what a champion bowler! He brings his left-arm angle into play and deceives the batsman with the inward movement. Full and around off, at a fiery pace of 92 mph. The ball hits the deck and nips back in. Finch goes nowhere with his footwork as he tries to block. The ball raps him on the pads, they appeal and the finger goes up immediately. Finch walks even without thinking about the referral. That was dead plumb. 1/1

6.2 OUT! TAKEN! A leggie does the trick! Tossed up, on off. Marsh looks to slog-sweep but gets the top edge. The ball goes high in the air towards deep square leg. Asif Ali runs in from the fence and keeps his eyes on the ball to take a good catch. The dangerous-looking Marsh has gone but he has given Australia some much-needed momentum in this chase. 52/2

8.3 OUT! TAKEN! Shadab Khan does it yet again here! He keeps getting Pakistan back in the game! Tossed up, on off. Smith attempts the slog-sweep but just like Marsh, he gets a top edge. The ball goes miles in the air but Fakhar Zaman settles under it at deep mid-wicket and pouches it. You can question the shot selection here as it was quite needless from Smudge. All he needed to do was to rotate the strike and let Warner take care of hitting the big shots. Knowing him, he would be regretting at the moment. 77/3

12.2 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and Australia are crumbling under pressure! Shadab Khan gets another wicket! Tossed up, on off, Maxwell goes for the reverse batted shot. He hits it quite well but there is a fielder at deep point. Haris Rauf runs in, dives to his right and takes the catch after misjudging it initially. One wonders if Maxwell could have played out Shadab and then targeted some other bowler. Another questionable shot selection from an Aussie batter. 81 needed off 46 balls. 96/5
