Welcome back for the run-chase. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stride out to open the innings for Pakistan. It will be Spencer Johnson to steam in with the ball for Australia. Here we go!
...THE RUN CHASE...
Pakistan did not begin well as they looked to bowl very full but once they started taking pace off, their bowlers became very useful. The likes of Afridi and Rauf were brilliant. Sufiyan Muqeem also impressed in the middle overs. Shaheen and Naseem came back well in the end. The bowlers will feel they have done their job can the batters do their job now? Australia on the other hand, will know this won't be an easy chase but they need to bowl well. An exciting second half awaits.
End of a fine bowling effort from Pakistan! The start though wasn't all that great! The hosts were off to a flier. They got to their fifty around the 3 over mark. Once the opening stand was broken, runs scoring got very tough and wickets also fell at regular intervals. A couple of batters got off to starts but none went on to make it big. They though will still feel they have a total which is just around par.

A bye to end then! A slower one down the leg side. Zampa moves across and looks to play the ramp shot but misses. They take one as the keeper fumbles.
OUT! Taken! Two in two for Afridi! Length and on middle. He looks to go over mid off but it goes off the splice and it is taken at mid off.

OUT! That's a poor shot from Hardie. He should have left that. This is way too short and very, very wide. Would have been a wide had he left it. He looks to reach out for it. It goes off the toe end towards the off side. Rizwan takes it. A good little innings from him but Pakistan can surely keep Australia under 150 now.

Only one! On middle. Hardie swings it towards deep mid-wicket for one. Probably a free swing now for Ellis.

Fuller and on off. Ellis finally gets one. He drives it back to the bowler who looks to stop it with his leg but it hits the leg and rolls on the off side. A run take.
