6.15pm Good effort from Sean Abbott, but it's only put a modicum of respectability on Australia's score. An all-round excellent effort from Pakistan in the field, led by the new-ball bursts from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf then followed up by Mohammad Wasim's reverse swing. Pakistan should be very confident of chasing these down to take the series on what remains a good pitch. Australia will need rapid early inroads to stay in the game. Peter will be with you for the start of the chase.

Haris Rauf to Abbott, OUT, taken at short third! No fifty for Abbott and that's the end of the damage. A short ball, he aims to upper cut it but only offers a simple catch. Came from high on the splice

Haris Rauf to Abbott, 2 runs, crunched! Some power, but excellent fielding. A slower short ball, Abbott nailed the pull and it looked a certain boundary. Khushdil with the work on the rope

Ayaz Khan: "If Abbott is really smart here he knows the fifth bowler in this case Iftikhar has still 3 overs left and should really target those" - He's just going after anyone
