OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Mohammad Nawaz. Full toss, to leg on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Agar. Pakistan cannot bat out the 20 overs! Low full toss on the pads, Nawaz attempts to clear the ropes, but it comes off the bottom end of the bat again. Shanked out into the deep, and Agar takes a wonderful catch running in and diving forward.
Marvellous performance from Australia there. Billy Stanlake caused havoc at the top, and Pakistan were never really able to recover. A difficult target to defend, but anything can happen in this game. Find out if it can be chased down after a short interval.
OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Hasan Ali. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep cover, by Agar. Full toss, Hasan Ali gives it everything, but he slices his shot straight into the hands of deep point.

OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Shadab Khan. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to mid off, by Head. Thrown out even wider from Tye, and Shadab tries the same shot as the previous ball. Has to stretch out this time, and the ball lobs up off the toe end to mid off.
SIX! Andrew Tye to Shadab Khan. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. Shadab gets all of that one. The perfect hitting length, and it gets punished. Big swing of the bat, and crushed over wide long off.

A loopy, wide, slower delivery from Tye. Shadab waits, before unleashing a big booming drive over the offside. Great connection, and it lands just inside the rope.

FOUR! Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air uncontrolled past long on for 4 runs, dropped catch by Ali. That sums up Pakistan's day. Finch goes to finish the game off in style with another six, but mis-hits down to long on. Came at the man quickly, and it bursts out the hands to trickle into the rope.
A serious reality check for Pakistan, and a remarkable turnaround for Australia. This game was even more one-sided than yesterday's. Australia better in every department, and have given their opponents a real hammering. Billy Stanlake with his four wickets, and Aaron Finch with his 68 not out the two standouts. Join us tomorrow once again for Match 3 of this tri-series, where we will see the hosts, Zimbabwe, battle it out with the Aussies.
SIX! Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Oh my. That is by far the biggest six we have seen today. Finch is down on one knee, swings as hard as possible, and it pings off the middle of the bat. Serious distance on that.

SIX! Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Drilled over the long off fence for another maximum. There is no stopping the man when he is this kind of form. Too full from Shadab, and dispatched with brutality.
