A big swing and a miss from Adam Zampa and he almost gets cleaned up. On a good length around middle, darting back in, Zampa backs away and heaves across the line but the ball smashes into the back pad and rolls towards backward point. They get a leg bye as the appeal for LBW is turned down.
Drinks break! Well then, the game looked much more evenly poised 15 overs earlier than now and Pakistan have gained complete control of this first innings. Haris Rauf has been sensational in this middle phase and has run through the Aussie middle order. Pat Cummins once again has to do the repair job for his side but from here, it will be a miracle if he manages to take his side to anywhere near the 200-run mark.

Bowled on a hard length and outside off, Adam Zampa taps it away through covers and picks up a single.
28.5
.
A steep bumper now, over middle and off, Adam Zampa does well to sway away from the line of the ball.
28.4
.
Fractionally short and angled into the batter's body, Zampa looks to play but misses and gets hit on the body.
28.3
.
Almost another one! Just short of a good length and around off, Zampa stays back and tentatively pushes at it, almost gets chopped on instead.
Adam Zampa is in next.
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Naseem Shah gets into the wicket-taking act now and Mohammad Rizwan picks up his fifth catch of the innings. Shah serves this one full and on off, naturally angling it across the left-hander. Mitchell Starc just leans on to drive and gets an outside edge that goes down to the left of the keeper. Rizwan dives and pouches it safely, no footwork there from Starc.
