Over 12.5 Jon Holland tossed up delivery to Mohammad Hafeez, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Hafeez was on the back foot and he wanted to turn it to the leg-side. He closes the face of the bat early and the leading edge takes it straight to Labuschagne at silly point. 

Over 13.6 Nathan Lyon tossed up delivery to Bilal Asif, out Caught by Head! Bilal Asif. was outfoxed by the sharp late turn on the ball and inside edge takes it straight to leg-slip. The ball was dying on him, he crouches low and takes a good catch.

Over 16.2 Jon Holland bowls a quicker arm ball to Azhar Ali, out LBW! Azhar Ali ended up playing down the wrong and was rapped on the pads. The Umpire not moved and Austalia goes for a review and the final result is out.

Over 38.6 Jon Holland bowls it flat in the air to Imam-ul-Haq, out Caught and Bowled!! Imam-ul-Haq was not to the pitch of the ball and hence it allows the ball to turn. It spins in off the rough, bounces extra, hits Imam's willow high and ends up back to Holland who makes no mistake.

Over 39.4 Marnus Labuschagne tossed up delivery to Haris Sohail, out Lbw!! Haris Sohail went for a pull shot, it keeps low a bit, misses his bat and raps him on the pads on the backfoot. Umpire Richard Kettleborough shakes his head but Paine takes another good review and he has been proven right yet again.

Over 57.5 Nathan Lyon tossed up delivery to Asad Shafiq, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! Shafiq was deep inside the crease as he slogged, played with the turn, but he didn't get the needed elevation, high and straight to deep mid-wicket. Micthell Marsh took it to reverse cupped.
