A big finish in that final over from Usman Qadir, but think Pakistan are still a few short here. Australia came back superbly after the powerplay. Sean Abbott, Cameron Green and Nathan Ellis were superb alongside the usual steadiness of Adam Zampa. Babar Azam led the way for Pakistan before the middle order fell away. Should be a good chase coming up. Danyal will be back with you shortly

Dwarshuis to Usman Qadir, FOUR, goes leg-side again, and it's a misfield on the rope by Labuschagne! Pulls again, not quite as cleanly this time and it has a helping hand over the rope

Dwarshuis to Usman Qadir, SIX, huge! That's all the way over deep midwicket. Again serving up length, Qadir is able to get underneath it and swings mightily over the leg side

There is a lot of arm-waving going on between the umpires. Not entirely sure what about

Dwarshuis to Usman Qadir, FOUR, finds the rope, it's a back of a length delivery that he is able to pull in front of square

Dwarshuis for the last over

Ellis to Mohammad Wasim, no run, brilliant bowling, he has done Wasim all ends up with the slower ball that he has no idea about and is nearly cleaned up

Ellis to Mohammad Wasim, no run, has he edged it?! They are appealing for caught behind. Finch calls for the review. A back-of-a-length delivery which nibbles past the edge and it looks like the bat hit the pad. No hat-trick this time.

Ellis took a hat-trick on his T20I debut. Can he add another here?

Ellis to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, high in the air again, taken at cover but Stoinis needed a juggle! Full outside off, another slow ball, a big carve from Afridi...and that ends up being a remarkable reaction catch from Stoinis who collected the rebound after it burst out. Smiles all round from Australia

Shaheen Shah Afridi c Stoinis b Ellis 0 (6m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Heck of a comeback from Australia

Ellis to Khushdil Shah, OUT, round the wicket, straight to long-on...the wickets keep falling. Another yorker, although it's just a full toss in the end, he swings hard but it comes from low down on the bat

Afridi at No. 8. Can be bring the long handle?

Abbott to Hasan Ali, OUT, dragged on! Abbott gets a deserved wicket. A wide yorker outside off, Hasan looking to play it away squad and gets a bottom edge into off stump. He's a touch unlucky

Abbott to Khushdil Shah, (no ball) 2 runs, oh dear, that's a big full toss, it's heaved to deep midwicket but called no-ball. That's the dew you would think

Shahzain: "I don't understand why we keep on dropping Shoaib Malik when we still don't have his replacement? I mean we are playing Iftikhar in place of Malik, seriously?" Only drop him to add to the number of recalls, right?

Ellis to Khushdil Shah, no run, round the wicket, big appeal and given lbw! Was this sliding down? The review is called straightaway. A good length ball, he's playing across the line, taken on the knee roll. And, yes, missing leg stump
