OUT! Caught. Haris Rauf to Matthew Kuhnemann. Off cutter length ball, off stump on the front foot pushing, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to silly mid on, caught by Azam. Australia's innings never quite found momentum and they are bowled out in 44.1 overs. Pakistan's bowlers, led brilliantly on debut by Arafat Minhas with a five-wicket haul, applied relentless pressure. Matt Short's patient 55 and Renshaw's fluent 61 were the only substantial contributions as wickets fell in clusters. Abrar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha made crucial strikes while Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf provided pace support. Despite some brief resistance from Kuhnemann, the innings ended with Pakistan firmly in control heading into the chase. Join us in around 30 minutes.
