19.2 to Usman Khan, Juicy full-toss slammed straight to Short at deep midwicket but he has done his job! Low full-toss and he went for the aerial route, just not under it fully and was hurried into the stroke, excellent diving catch from Short, covered a lot of distance and pocketed a low catch with a full lunge as the ball died on him. 188/5
Matthew Kuhnemann	4	0	40	1	10.00	7	0	0
1.4 to Sahibzada Farhan, Tries a reverse and perishes in the process! Crouched and tried to reverse sweep it, brushing the gloves and he was late through the stroke, mistimed it and will have to go! Inglis with a sharp take. 17/1
Cooper Connolly	4	0	30	1	7.50	9	0	0
5.5 to Saim Ayub, Huge appeal for an lbw turned down. Quick through the air and kept it low and straight at middle, he pranced down the track to heave it over midwickt, missed it completely and it has been sent by Australia for another check. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the off-stump fully so a great review and there was no confusion about it, the dangerous opener departs. That could help stymie the run-flow. They need one more to pull things back. 72/2
Sean Abbott	3	0	33	1	11.00	5	1	0
12.5 to Agha Salman, Tries a cheeky reverse and ended up getting a faint touch off the middle towards the keeper, stays true to his methods and played with a clear approach, excellent knock and showed how to bat in modern-day cricket, setting an example for his teammates, fabulous knock comes to an end. A major breakthrough for Australia. Bowled it full and outside off, he tried to use the vacant areas behind square on off-side, looks absolutely crestfallen after missing out on a hundred. 125/4
Adam Zampa	4	0	27	1	6.75	8	0	0
7.1 to Babar Azam, That was an absolute pearler! Zampa has made him a bunny. Lovely legbreak that pitched on a length or thereabouts and spun back viciously, tenderizing his pads and there's no confusion whatsoever in anyone's mind about the decision, he doesn't review and rightly so. Crowd is stunned and another early departure for Babar. 76/3

3.1 to TM Head, Castled! Rip through the stumps! Around the wicket, from a wide angle he brought that back into the stumps at middle, tries to belabor a pull and is unlucky here because the ball didn't bounce at all and he perishes! Uneven bounce, Saim loved it though. Pakistan right on top!. 22/2
Abrar Ahmed	3	0	14	3	4.66	12	0	0
2.6 to MR Marsh, Prolonged appeal for an lbw! Ball just rushes through the surface and thunders into he front-pad, not much going in his favor and he has to go, doesn't bother with the review, quick delivery skidded and kept low, beats his sweep, big W!. 22/1 4.3 to JP Inglis, bowls a magic delivery, fuller wrong'un, came back and he tries to sweep it away, doesn't connect properly and given by the umpire. Inglis hoping for a miracle. Nothing on the bat, no spike. Pitching outside off, impact run line and just shaving leg-stump, clipping the top of leg-stump so touch and go, a marginal call but that plunges Australia deeper into the pit. Australia in deep trouble! Cannot blame him for the shot given the imposing total they are chasing, not those teams who just likes to meander and drag the game but right now spinners have spun a web and kept their stranglehold. 29/3 14.5 to MW Short, Mistimed it, straight into the hands of Babar Azam at long-off! Pushed fuller and gets it to turn away from off, takes the bait and loops it up, Babar didn't have to move much to gobble that up. Short's fighting knock comes to an end, Pakistan just one wicket away from a resounding series win. 104/9
Mohammad Nawaz	2	0	11	1	5.50	4	0	0
6.5 to MT Renshaw, Looped up on a length and slanting in at middle, shuffles across a touch to ramp and ends up wearing it on his pads, umpire quick to raise his finger, adjudged lbw and he reviews immediately. Lots of revs on the ball, kept coming back at him and hits the top of the knee roll, doesn't look like there's any bat involved. Waiting for the ball-tracker. Nothing on the ultra-edge when the ball passes the bat. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the middle-stump so no confusion whatsoever, Pakistan spinners continue to dominate the proceedings and Australia staring into the abyss.. 53/4
Shadab Khan	4	0	26	3	6.50	9	1	0
7.3 to C Connolly, gottim! Nostalgia; that's the old Shadab, so accurate with his guile and cunning spinning methods. Bowls a pitch-perfect legbreak on a fuller length and it zips back sharply, hitting the middle-stump, he had no clue about it, too good for thee!. 54/5 13.5 to XC Bartlett, Taken at long-on by Babar, Bartlett's ebullience comes to an end, took the aerial route but not much oomph behind the shot. 98/7 13.6 to SA Abbott, Over the wicket, chopped it back onto the stumps! Back of a length and came back prodigiously, too close to cut, and the wheels continue to come off for Australia. 98/8
Usman Tariq	2.4	0	16	2	6.00	6	0	0
10.5 to C Green, Drags it a touch short and outside off, goes down on one knee and slices it into the air, simplest of the catch for Shadab at point and Usman strikes, introduced late into the attack and makes an impact right away. 76/6 15.4 to MP Kuhnemann, Around the wicket, drops short and gets it to spin across off, he comes down the track and edges it to first slip! Pakistan win by a hefty margin of 90 runs! Fittingly Salman Agha takes a clean catch and he has clearly led from the front in this game with his bat and tactical acumen. 108/10
