    Starc to Mir Hamza
    What a snare! That finished off quickly, Starc picks back to back wickets and Australia win by 79 runs. A vicious rising delivery aimed at the body, he dangles his bat, looks away and ball grazed the edge, Smith charges in at slip and grabs an absolute stunner
    67.1
    W
    Starc to Salman
    Marsh snags one in the deep! Super stuff. Takes on the short ball and gets an edge that flies away to Mitchell Marsh at third man; he came charging in from deep and takes a stunning catch diving forward! Swung big but didn't control his bat and Salman's gritty resistance finally comes to an end.
    66.6

    Cummins to Hasan Ali
    Touch short and seaming in sharply from outside off, fell short of the man at gully
    66.5
    0
    Cummins to Hasan Ali
    Over the wicket, thumped hard into the deck and gets some inward seam movement towards leg stump, ducks underneath it. Hasan Ali can certainly bat, got a hundred in QeA trophy 2020/21 but this is a different ball game altogether against a very accomplished bowling line-up in trying conditions
    66.4
    W
    Cummins to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    Once again it's that man again, Pat Cummins who provides another crucial breakthrough. The man, the myth, the legend, Cummins picks up second 10 wicket haul in 57 Test matches; it's been an incredible bowling display. Pitched short and got him in a tangle, he pokes at it gingerly and ball pops up in the air, Marnus gobbles it up gleefully at short leg. Australia cluster together in joy
    66.3
    1
    Cummins to Salman
    Haring in and hits short length just outside off, bashes it towards mid-on and pinches a run and gets to his half-century, receives a warm applause from the crowd. He has not given up and is determined to take this down to the wire
    66.2

    Cummins to Salman
    Short ball and gets fierce bounce, looked wide to me
    66.1
    0
    Cummins to Salman
    Short of a length, angling in and straightening down the line middle, pings an on drive towards mid-on and decided to run down the pitch but then changed his mind, avoided mix-up
    65.6

    Lyon to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    Tossed up, wicket to wicket stuff, hangs on the backfoot and shields his stumps well
    65.5

    Lyon to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    Short leg in place. Round the wicket, fired it quicker and fuller on middle and off, leans forward and defends it well
    65.4
    1
    Lyon to Salman
    Lobbed up just outside off, jockeys across on off and caresses it down to long on for a run

    Cummins to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    Fraction and lifting off the deck on middle, Shaheen gets his bat behind the line and tucks it towards on side
    64.5
    0
    Cummins to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    On a length and meandering away outside off, gets a thick edge that fell short of the man at third slip, Cummins just keeps finding ways to flummox batters

    Cummins to Shaheen Shah Afridi
    Brutal bouncer screaming away outside off, avoids flirting with it

    Inside edge skews away to backward square

    Cummins to Salman
    Takes on the short ball on middle and leg and helps it on its way to deep fine leg boundary. That's audacious!

    Cummins to Salman
    Mean bouncer, good purchase off the deck, tailing on leg, goes for the pull and can't connect
