Openers perish early to leave Pakistan in trouble

Pak 24-1 (5 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

A fast yorker from Starc which Sarfaraz digs out on the off-side for a single. Sarfaraz turns the fourth ball on the leg side for a couple before he gets one to thirdman.

Shehzad cuts a short ball over the point fielder for two runs as the fielder at thirdman covers up.

Hazlewood sends down a tidy over, conceding just a single to Sarfaraz off the first ball before Shehzad watchfully plays out the rest of the over.

Sarfaraz comes forward and drives Starc through the covers for a couple through the covers. He awkwardly pulls the third ball square on the leg side for the first four with the bat for Pakistan.

He tries to drive the next ball but gets an edge which is well caught by Shane Watson diving full length to his right.

A big blow for Pakistan early on as Sarfaraz is dismissed for 10 in the fifth over of the innings.

Left-hander Haris Sohail gets off the mark with a four as Pakistan reach 24 for one in five overs.
