Sean Abbott to Imam-ul-Haq, SIX! Imam has dispatched this one. Pakistan will hope that this shot breaks the shackles. Sean Abbott serves it on a length around middle, Imam dances down the track and towers it over long on for a maximum.

Cameron Green to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! Edgy! Back of a length, outside off, Imam stands back to cut it over point but it flies off the top edge and goes over short third man for a boundary. Not sure that was deliberate or not.

Sean Abbott to Fakhar Zaman, SIX! FAKHAR IS SAFE! The heel is touching the advertising cushion. Fakhar survives and the crowd roars. A touch short in length, around off, Zaman latches onto it and powers it over the leg side. Marcus Stoinis is manning the deep square leg region, he jumps to catch it over his head. He then realizes that his weight is pushing him beyond the fence. So, Stoinis releases the ball, goes back and jumps in to take the catch again. The umpire though consults upstairs and the replays clearly show that it's not taken cleanly. A maximum is signalled.

Sean Abbott to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! This is clever batting. Short in length, around off, Fakhar steps back to give himself room and steers it past backward point for a boundary. Abbott has proved to be costly so far.

Adam Zampa to Imam-ul-Haq, OUT! Imam holes out and Adam Zampa claps in delight! This is a very big breakthrough for Australia. End of a remarkable knock and the 111-run stand. Once again Imam tries to find the boundary on the first ball but miscues his shot. Too full and around off, Imam is down the track for a big shot down the ground but gets more height than distance. Marnus Labuschagne moves across to his right from long on and takes the catch safely. 120 needed off 95 balls and Australia have an opening now.

Babar Azam looks to hammer it down the ground but it takes the inner half and flies to short mid-wicket. Marnus Labuschagne there takes a sharp catch over his head. Babar Azam walks off receiving a huge round of applause. End of an excellent knock from the skipper. Can Australia capitalize?

Adam Zampa to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! CAUGHT! Is there another twist left in the tale? Mohammad Rizwan goes downtown but holes out. Tossed up well outside off, Mohammad Rizwan has to reach out for that one. He shimmies down and throws the kitchen sink at it. Mistimes his aerial shot to long off where Sean Abbott takes a simple catch.
