 Pak 213-all out (49.5 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Adil looking to play straight against Faulkner, an approach which if the top order had adopted would have helped Pakistan do better with the bat.

Adil drives the third ball to mid-off for a four before Rahat has a wild swing but misses. He manages to get his bat to the last ball which flies over the off-side but gets just a single to sweeper cover.

Rahat continues to play and miss as he fails to connect with attempted heaves against Watson off successive deliveries. He taps the third ball but it goes straight to mid-off for another dot ball and can only defend the next.

He somehow squeezes the last ball to deep square leg to get a single from the over and retain strike.

Faulkner to bowl the final over. Rahat inside edges the first ball for a single on the leg side before Adil lofts the second ball for a four.

He mishits the fourth ball which goes over the bowler and falls safely for another couple of runs.

Adil (15) falls off the next ball as he holes out to Starc on the fine leg fence as Pakistan fold for a disappointing 213 in 49.5 overs.

A poor batting effort from Pakistan as none of the batsmen looked to stay out in the middle and hold the innings together.

Once Misbah fell for 34 after his 73-run partnership for the third wicket with Sohail (41), Pakistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Hazlewood caused the maximum damage as he claimed four for 35, while Starc and Maxwell two wickets each.
