PAK vs AUS Highlights, 1st ODI: Pakistan win by 5 wickets

Matthew Kuhnemann to Babar Azam, Another appeal for LBW! Flatter, full and on middle, Babar Azam goes down for the paddle sweep but misses as the ball brushes his gloves and then hits his pads and the ball then deflects on his throat.

Matthew Kuhnemann to Babar Azam, Slows it up, full and on middle, Babar Azam blocks it out.

Has that been taken cleanly? It is Short once again in action with a brilliant piece of fielding, this time, at short cover. The third umpire is brought in to check the legality of the catch. A couple of angles come in, but the TV umpire is not fully convinced whether Short's fingers are underneath the ball. But with no other conclusive evidence or angle available, the TV umpire gives the benefit of the doubt to the batter. A huge relief for Babar. NOT OUT loads on the big screen.

Matthew Kuhnemann to Babar Azam, Massive call in the context of this game! Floated, full and on off, Babar Azam uses his feet and drives but fails to keep it down. It flies flatly towards short cover, where Matthew Short gets low to his right, and scoops it just above the ground. He is claiming it, but the third umpire is called to check the fairness of the catch. He watches a few replays from different angles, but cannot get conclusive evidence. He gives his decision in favour of the batter.

Matthew Kuhnemann to Babar Azam, Beauty! Slower through the air, full and on middle, grips and turns away sharply. Babar Azam gets drawn forward to defend but gets beaten on the outside edge.

42/1 for Pakistan in this 11-20 over phase. They are taking their sweet time and staying content with ones and twos, with an odd boundary here and there, which will be more than enough, as the asking rate is just below 4. Pakistan need 118 runs from 180 balls. Nathan Ellis (3-0-18-0) is brought back on, replacing Matthew Short.

DRINKS! Time for a breather. Pakistan are going along nicely in this chase, although very cautiously. Babar Azam is taking his time but has played a couple of fine shots, while Ghazi Ghori has been a bit more aggressive. The hosts will hope that this partnership can grow, bringing them closer to the target or, if possible, taking them over the line. Australia are well behind the eight ball, and they desperately need to pick up wickets in bunches to make a game out of this one.
