9.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! The leggie does it and finally, the stand between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is broken! The last couple of 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 whatsoever. The ball goes towards wide long on. David Warner is stationed there and this time, he takes an easy catch over his head.

7.1 overs (2 Runs) Length ball, on off. Azam drives it to the right of sweeper cover. The throw comes in but it is a weak one and the batters get the second run with ease.
Change! Mitchell Marsh now comes on. He along with Maxwell and Stoinis will play the part of the 5th bowler. Pakistan would try and take advantage of that.

Change! Time for some leg spin now as Adam Zampa comes on. He is the wicket-taker for the Aussies. Can he get one?
5.6 overs (1 Run) DROPPED! Another tough chance and it would have been a stunner from Adam Zampa. Still, he did a great job to stop the ball. Cummins delivers it short and it's angling down the leg side, Rizwan swipes it aerially to fine leg where Zampa is stationed. The ball is dipping in front of him and he puts in a forward dive but fails to grab it inches above the surface. Top effort.
