Xavier Bartlett to Shadab Khan. Reverse Swing-In half volley, middle stump on the front foot flick, in the air under control to deep square leg for 1 run, fielded by Renshaw. Pakistan have posted a challenging total of 198 for 5, driven by a commanding captain's innings from Salman Ali Agha, who struck a superb 76 off 40 balls. He steadied the innings alongside Usman Khan who played the anchor role to perfection with a composed 53 off 36. Shadab Khan's explosive late cameo of 28 off 20 powered Pakistan to a strong finish. For Australia, Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers with a tidy 1 for 27, but the rest of the attack struggled to stem the flow of runs on a batting-friendly surface. The chase is coming up shortly.

OUT! Caught. Usman Tariq to Matthew Kuhnemann. Googly length ball, wide outside off stump down the track driving, outside edge to first slip, caught by Agha. That's a simple catch, and it pretty much sums up Australia's performance today. They were completely bamboozled by the spin web woven by the Pakistan spinners.

Salman Ali Agha is deservedly named Player of the Match for his outstanding innings.
