Pakistan innings
M Labuschagne to Zaman, OUT! Three reds and Fakhar Zaman is out of here. Finally, Tim Paine shakes things up and gets a wicket as a result. The southpaw misses out on his ton and the 147-run partnership is broken. Labuschagne loops up a leg break on middle, it turns ever so slightly and that's enough to beat the inside edge. He's caught on the front pad and a loud shout goes up. The umpire raises his finger but this time Zaman opts for the review. Replays roll in and show he's gone for all money. Australia go into the break with a smile on their face. TEA ON DAY 1!
M Starc to Hafeez, OUT! That's just stuck! Wow. What a catch. Superb stuff from Marnus Labuschagne. Australia strike early. Starc bowls this full on the pads, Hafeez flicks this aerially and it's hit hard. Labuschagne, however, positioned there reacts quickly as the ball is hit to him. It bounces off his left groin, then goes off the inside of his right knee and he manages to gobble it up falling down before the ball touches the ground. Replays confirm the same. Very well done.
Lyon to Ali, OUT! GONE! Caught and bowled. Lyon strikes and brings an end to Azhar Ali's stay in the middle. Soft dismissal, really. Short, flat and spinning in from outside off, Azhar Ali comes out and punches it uppishly right back to the bowler. It goes off the inside half and Lyon takes a simple catch. With this wicket, Lyon becomes the 5th highest wicket-taker for Australia in Tests.
N Lyon to Sohail, OUT! Two in two for Nathan Lyon! The turning point of the game? The momentum is surely in Australia's favour now. Switches to around the wicket and tosses the off break around off, Sohail comes forward to push it away and he can't keep it down. Hands a sharp catch to Travis Head at silly point, who takes it well. This is a big wicket for the tourists.
N Lyon to Shafiq, OUT! There's a spike on Ultra Edge and the on-field call has to be overturned. Lyon on fire here. He tosses this up on middle and off, it turns in as Shafiq looks to defend off the front foot. It goes off the pad and Labuschagne at short leg takes it. The Australians think there's an inside edge as well and they appeal. Umpire S Ravi is unmoved. So, the DRS has been taken and it goes to the third umpire. Replays show there is indeed an edge and Asad has to walk back.
Lyon to B Azam, OUT! Oh, dear! What is happening here? Nathan Lyon has already bagged a 4-fer and he's not even finished 5 overs yet. Absolutely unbelievable what's going on at the moment. A poor shot by Babar as well to be honest. Lyon loops it up outside off, Azam comes out to play the expansive drive and leaves a big gap between bat and pad. It goes right through the gate and disturbs the furniture behind. Pakistan are in a real slump now. Lyon now is the 4th highest wicket-taker for Australia in Test cricket.
M Labuschagne to Ahmed, OUT! Lucky this time though! A bit of a rash stroke from Sarfraz but he had to go for it with the lower order at the other end. He was getting tired as well. Tries to whack this tossed up ball on off over the mid off fielder. However, gets the outer half of the bat as the ball goes in the air towards Siddle at extra cover. Peter fumbles it a couple of times but grabs it on the third attempt. The leg spinner is now the leading wicket-taker in this innings with three dismissals to his name.
M Labuschagne to Asif, OUT! Watta leg break! That is Shane Warne-esque here by Labuschagne. He floats this one a bit more and lands it around off on a fuller length. Asif comes forward looking to play it with a tentative push. The ball lands and spins to take a very faint edge which is taken wonderfully by Paine. The leggie doing the job for the tourists. They are back in the match with a bang.
Marsh to Y Shah, OUT! Bowled 'em! Terrific delivery from Mitchell Marsh. Timely blow for Australia. That tried and tested yorker from Marsh. Fires it on leg stump and Shah can't do anything about it. Looks to flick but it goes off his pads and crashes into the stumps behind. He'd have liked to do more, but Yasir has done his job here.
Starc to Abbas, OUT! TIMBER! That seals the deal for Australia. Starc comes charging in and arrows an inswinging yorker on middle, Abbas has no chance of doing anything about it as the stumps are disturbed. PAKISTAN ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 282!

Australia innings
M Abbas to Khawaja, OUT! Pakistan have drawn first blood. A bit lucky but this but a really good grab by the Pakistan captain. The hero from the last match has to walk back to the pavilion. Abbas keeps it on a good length on middle and leg and angling into the batsman. Khawaja looks to flick it but the ball takes the faintest of nicks and flies behind down the leg side. Sarfraz dives to his right fully stretched and pouches this low and one handed. The umpires want to check if the catch is clean and they go upstairs with the soft signal as out. Replays roll in and show that the edge carries easily to Sarfraz behind. This is also the 50th Test wicket for Abbas.
B Asif to Finch, OUT! Makes an impact in his very first over of the innings! Bilal Asif has got Aaron Finch. Pakistan on top of the tourists as their sixth one goes. Asif lands this full and a bit outside off, Finch comes forward to defend it, is a bit lazy as he hangs his bat in front of his pad. The ball spins in sharply, takes the inside edge onto the pads and balloons up to the left of the short leg fielder. Fakhar Zaman positioned there takes a nice catch with a dive. Big, big jolt to Australia as the hosts enter their lower order.
Abbas to Siddle, OUT! Abbas strikes on the very last ball of the day. What a brilliant way to end the day for Pakistan. Abbas dishes this on a good length around off, Siddle again looks to block this off from within his crease. The ball hits the deck and deviates into the batsman. It beats Siddle's tentative push on the inside and raps him flush on the pads in front of the stumps. It's very close as Pakistan go up in a huge appeal. Surprisingly, the umpire turns it down. Sarfraz does not wait any time and goes for the review. replays roll in and display three reds on the screen which means that Siddle will not come out to bat tomorrow morning. That is STUMPS ON DAY 1.
M Abbas to S Marsh, OUT! Edged and taken! Shaun Marsh's short stay in the middle comes to an end. It's Mohammad Abbas again who provides the breakthrough for his side. Lands it on off, it moves away ever so late and this becomes Shaun Marsh's undoing. The ball takes the outside edge of his hanging bat and flies to first slip, where Haris Sohail moves to his right and pouches it safely.
M Abbas to T Head, OUT! Edged and taken at second slip! Fantastic stuff from Abbas. This bowler is taking large strides as he gets another wicket to his name. Keeps it on a good length around off with the natural away angle from over the wicket. Head has to play at it because of the initial line but the ball lands and nips away. Takes the outside edge which flies to Asad Shafiq at second slip who accepts it gleefully. Australia four down now.
Y Shah to M Marsh, OUT! Wow! Lovely, lovely leg spin bowling. Deserves this for his consistency and patience. Yasir gives this one air and keeps it full around off. Marsh lunges forward looking to block it out, the ball hits the deck and turns a bit more than he expected. Takes the outside edge and flies to Asad Shafiq at first slip who takes a good catch. Marsh's stay at the crease comes to an end. Shah is off and running.
Shah to Labuschagne, OUT! Run out at the non-striker's end. Really, really unlucky is Labuschagne here. One of the worst ways to get out in cricket. Shah tosses this up on off, Starc drills it straight back to Yasir who tries to stop it but just gets a finger on it before it crashes into the stumps. Pakistan appeal for a run out and the umpire has taken it upstairs. Replays roll in and show that the right-hander is a bit late in planting his bat back in the crease. Labuschagne drops his head down and walks back to the dressing room dejected.
B Asif to Paine, OUT! Umpire's call as it is just about clipping the leg stump. End of a magnificent session for Pakistan. It is a bit quicker and flatter around off, Paine decides to go back and that proves to be his biggest error as the ball lands and spins in prodigiously. Tim looking to block it off the back foot is beaten on the inside and rapped on the pad in front of the stumps. The hosts go up in a big appeal and the umpire raises his finger after thinking for a couple of seconds. Paine thinks it might be sliding down with the spin and hence goes for the review showing the 'T'. Replays roll in and show that the impact is in line and the ball is clipping the leg stump on its way behind. That means a wicket for the home team at the stroke of the break. LUNCH ON DAY 2!
Abbas to Starc, OUT! He's gone and that spells the end of the visitors' innings. A 5-wicket haul for Mohammad Abbas, well-deserved. He comes from around the wicket and fires in a yorker on middle and leg, angling in. Starc can't dig it out and it goes behind past the leg stump. Pakistan appeal, because they think it's caught Starc's boot on the way back and take the DRS. It's taken upstairs and replays show that it indeed did and the left-hander is gone. AUSTRALIA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 145 AND CONCEDE A LEAD OF 137 RUNS!
B Asif to N Lyon, OUT! Bowled 'em! Lovely spin bowling from Bilal Asif. He gives it a bit more air and bowls it slower. Lyon goes for the slog sweep but is completely beaten in the flight. He swings his bat a bit too early and the ball crashes into the off pole. Just one wicket more left for Australia.

Pakistan innings
Lyon to Zaman, OUT! Amazing caught and bowled! Lyon flights it nicely around off. Zaman skips down the track and blasts it straight back. Lyon, almost in an attempt to avoid the ball, turns his body but keeps his eyes on the ball. His reflexes help him to catch that one off his own bowling and the offie is up and running in this innings.
M Starc to Hafeez, OUT! GONE! That catching cover fielder has come into play. This will bring a smile to the Australians' faces. Starc pitches it fuller outside off, Hafeez just checks his drive for some reason and as a result, chips it straight to Travis Head at short extra cover. Soft dismissal, much like the first innings, for Hafeez. Not the ideal day for the birthday boy.
P Siddle to Ali, OUT! Absolute comical scenes here! Oh, dear! Oh, boy! Can't believe what we've witnessed here. Don't think I've ever seen a dismissal like this before. Full and outside off, Azhar Ali reaches out to it and gets an edge down towards third man. The ball is rolling towards the fence, but it stops just inside the rope. Starc jogs towards the ball and throws it back in. Here's the thing though, both batsmen are unaware that the ball has stopped inside the rope as they don't pay attention. They meet in the middle and talk about what they'll do on the next ball. Tim Paine sees this, gets to the stumps and as the throw from Starc comes in, he takes the bails off. Ali and Shafiq are found shocked. The former departs as he was still on the danger side of the crease. He can't believe it. Australia needed a dismissal and it's come in the most ridiculous forms. Incredible.
N Lyon to Sohail, OUT! How clever and wily is this offie? He was a bit unlucky yesterday evening but has made an impact early today. He flights this on off, Sohail skips down the track looking to go over Nathan. Swings his bat and gets beaten as the ball spins past his outside edge inside Sarfraz's mitts. He whips the bails off as Sohail watches himself get dismissed. A 48-run partnership has been ended.
M Labuschagne to Shafiq, OUT! The Parathas have worked, says Ramiz Raja on air. After two long hops the youngster comes up with a wicket taking one on the third. Lands this a bit shorter than full length and around off, Asad goes back and cuts hard. The ball bounces more than he expected and this results in a top edge flying to the point fielder at decent pace. AC Agar, the substitute fielder positioned there, takes an easy catch.
M Marsh to Azam, OUT! Three reds and that's out. A review is also lost. Azam has to walk back dejected on 99. It is a good length ball around off. It lands and nips back in ever so slightly to beat the inside edge of Babar's bat. He is looking to play at it from the crease, he is not forward nor is he on the back foot. The ball hits him on the knee roll and Australia go up in a huge appeal. The umpire immediately raises his finger as it looks very close but the right-hander still goes for the review, in hope more than anything else. Replays roll in and show three reds and that means bad news for Babar Azam. He walks back after a wonderful innings though.
M Labuschagne to Ahmed, OUT! Even the skipper misses out on a ton. A good knock though nonetheless. Labuschagne floats it up on off, it turns slightly as Sarfraz gets low to sweep. Gets caught on the front pad and the appeal goes up, soon followed by the finger. The Pakistan captain signals the 'T' and it's taken upstairs. Replays show the ball to be clipping the off stump. Barely. Unfortunate for the skipper. He misses out on another ton. The lead is of 537.
Lyon to Asif, OUT! What a catch from Labuschagne. Good awareness from the part-time leggie. Lyon lands it around off, it turns every so slightly as Asif gets forward to defend with an angled bat rather than a straight bat. It takes the edge, goes off Paine's right thigh and he has no idea where the ball is now. But Marnus does. He keeps his eyes on the ball, dives forward at short leg and takes a good catch.
N Lyon to Shah, OUT! Gone. It's umpire's call. The review isn't lost though. Spinning in from around off, Yasir looks to play at it and wears it on the pads. A big appeal goes up and the umpire raises his finger. Shah takes the DRS and replays show the ball to be clipping the leg stump. So, he has to make the long walk back. Pakistan lead by 531 runs.

Australia innings
M Abbas to Finch, OUT! LBW and Abbas has three in 12 balls! Wow. Australia are folding up quickly after an attacking start this morning. Full and outside off, Finch looks to defend but the ball drifts back in a long way, misses the inside edge and hits the batsman flush on the pads. Looks dead and it is ruled out by the umpire. No point in even reviewing that and Finch walks back with a glum face. He has looked the best amongst all the batsmen in this Test series, along with Usman Khawaja. Not much he could have done about this ball. Simply terrific bowling.
Mir Hamza to Marsh, OUT! WHAT. A. DELIVERY. Superb ball from Mir Hamza. Lands this on off, it comes in and then shapes away so little at the last second. Beats the outside edge of Shaun Marsh's hanging bat and takes the off stump. Nothing he could have done about it. Would take out most batsmen on any day. Wow. Pakistan have their first breakthrough.
M Abbas to Head, OUT! Caught behind! Head's troubles are over. Abbas has struck in his 4th over of the morning. The channel is perfect, in the corridor of uncertainty. The length is near perfect, somewhere between full and good. The enticing is excellent. 'C'mon Travis, feel for it, play at it.' The response is even better. Because Head does not control his urge to feel for balls outside off. He could have left it alone, but wants to go on a drive in this heat. Bad decision. To drive the car, you need to keep your feet on the accelerator. To drive the ball, you need to get your feet to the pitch of the ball. Travis does not do the latter. Goes at it flat-footed and gets a thick outside edge behind. The 61-run stand is broken and Abbas roars in delight at Head's face. Very, very well set up. Perfect Test cricket. Testing the batsman's patience.
Abbas to Marsh, OUT! The decision is overturned and Marsh is gone LBW! Two wickets in the space of 5 balls for Abbas. On a length outside off, Marsh stays back to defend. But the ball shoots back in, stays low a touch and hits him flush on the back thigh. That looks out to the naked eye and Abbas roars in an appeal but umpire Illingworth shakes his head. The bowler is confident and so is the keeper and they convince Asad Shafiq, standing in for the injured Sarfraz Ahmed, to go for the review. Three reds on the Hawk Eye and that is number 3 down for Australia.
M Abbas to Labuschagne, OUT! Abbas gets his 10-fer. What a spell of bowling from the fast bowler. It was short of a length outside off, Marnus Labuschagne caught by surprise, tried to pull it but got the bottom edge and it was an easy catch to the keeper. Marnus Labuschagne takes the review but the Ultra Edge shows there is a spike when the ball passes the bat and he has to go back disappointed. The ball got big on him. Australia are 8 down. Missed out on a deserving half century.
Abbas to Tim Paine, OUT! BOWLED! Massive error in judgement from Paine. He has left a straight ball alone and is now leaving the ground alone... A lovely ball, around off, Paine shoulders that because it is too close to play. But mate, that is too close to the off stick as well! He just watches the ball land, then watches the ball seam in prodigiously and then watches his off stump get uprooted with some sound effect as well. Pakistan are overjoyed and Abbas has 9 in the match now - HIS BEST EVER TEST FIGURES. How far is he from his 10th?
Y Shah to Starc, OUT! LBW! Cannot blame Starc for using up Australia's review, nor can we blame him for missing that ball. It was tossed up around middle and leg and he stayed back to flick, thinking it will turn. But the ball did not turn much and beat the inside edge, hitting him on the front pad. Yasir appealed and umpire Ravi's finger was up in a flash. Starc reviewed it but in vain. End of the 67-run stand.
Y Shah to Siddle, OUT! LBW! Number 2 for Yasir. Beautiful bowling. He tosses this around leg, Siddle looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. Yasir appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Siddle walks across to his partner, has a chat about the review but then is asked to go back. Oh dear...REPLAYS SHOW THE BALL WAS PITCHED OUTSIDE LEG. Might have just delayed the inevitable a bit more, had the review been taken.
Y Shah to Jon Holland, OUT! Edged and taken! VICTORY FOR PAKISTAN BY 373 RUNS! 4th biggest defeat for Australia in terms of runs and the biggest by that margin in Asia. Full and outside off, Holland looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge which flies straight to Haris Sohail at second slip. The celebrations begin and now come the handshakes. PAKISTAN WIN THE 2-MATCH SERIES 1-0!!!
