The final over
The Pakistan revival!
The tourists are showing some resistance. They’ve put on at least 20 runs for the seventh wicket. Good, gutsy cricket. Victory is beyond them but they’re making the result respectable.
Haseebullah Khan and Abbas Afridi are finding the boundaries.
Have to say it …
Few teams could find themselves bowled out in a seven-over innings, but Pakistan will probably manage it.
In a matter of minutes they’ve gone from a steady start, scoring 11 runs in the first over, to slumping to 6-24. Australia are expected to bowl them out now in a subdued finish to a potentially high-octane clash.
Pakistan lose 3-0 in dire runs chase
Yet another one goes. Pakistan slump to 5-16 and they’ve lost three wickets in a couple of balls.
The runs chase is no longer a reality. This is quite an over from Nathan Ellis.

And a fourth wicket goes
Pakistan in deep trouble. Babar Azam holes out in the deep.
The tourists creep to 4-16 in just the third over
Another Pakistan batter GONE
That’s a third wicket to go .… it’s happening too quickly. Pakistan can’t afford this.
Usman Khan was the one to go.
Pakistan 3-16
WICKET! Trouble for Pakistan
Muhammad Rizwan goes for a duck. He only faced two balls. Pakistan two wickets down early.
Steady start by Pakistan
The tourists reach 1-12 from their opening over – the first of seven overs of their innings.
OUT! Farhan is gone
Australian bowler Johnson was cool and collected, not rattled by hitting for two fours.
With the fourth ball of the opening over, Sahibzada Farhan skied one and he was soon OUT.
Pakistan 1-8, 0.4 overs
FOUR to the fore … twice
Pakistan open their innings with a boundary. Impressive.
Sahibzada Farhan easily found the gap. Then next ball he heaved one through the on side and found the rope.
