3.00pm First thoughts? Pakistan are at least 40 short of where they should have been. Babar Azam was sensational and became the joint-fastest to 1000 ODI runs during the course of his 84. But the pressure of being unable to score quickly towards the end got him to play a big shot. The early running was done by Sharjeel Khan, before Travis Head's double strike pegged them back. The last 10 overs were far from productive, and credit for that should to go Pat Cummins and James Faulkner, who mixed up their slower deliveries with some rip roaring bouncers. Just 50 off the last 10 overs for Pakistan. Advantage Australia at this stage! Join us in 30 minutes for the chase

49.6
1
Faulkner to Mohammad Amir, 1 run, slapped over the infield, but on the bounce to deep point. As far as last overs go, you can't get better than that
49.5
1
Faulkner to Mohammad Rizwan, 1 run, worked into the gap between midwicket and mid-on, Amir turns for the second but is sent back
49.4
2
Faulkner to Mohammad Rizwan, 2 runs, tap and run stuff. Turned towards midwicket, the boundary rider has plenty of work to do and can't beat the two batsmen to deliver
49.3
1
Faulkner to Mohammad Amir, 1 run, swings leg side, gets a thick inside edge that rolls to the off side
49.2
1
Faulkner to Mohammad Rizwan, 1 run, on the pads, turned to short fine leg
49.1
0
Faulkner to Mohammad Rizwan, no run, starts off with a back of the hand slower delivery from around the stumps, bunted back to the bowler. No room, no pace to work with

275? Final over from Faulkner
