Where is Abbas going? He must not have seen Cummins at mid on and sets off for the single even though his partner has not moved. Picked up by the big quick and he has plenty of time to take aim and fire. Australia win by a huge margin of an innings and 48 runs. Brilliant display of cricket even though they were made to work hard with the ball once again. Plenty of overs on the bounce for the quicks and Nathan Lyon and to take 20 scalps on a flat deck is phenomenal. They would not have got this opportunity though without the record breaking knock of 335 from David Warner to go along with 162 by Marnus Labuschagne. From there they held all the cards and Pakistan were always fighting to try and get back in the game. A memorable knock from Yasir Shah as he scored his maiden ton but unfortunately it wasn't enough. Nice 2-0 victory for Australia to start off their Test summer and a good warm-up for when New Zealand come to their shores. For Pakistan they can look forward to going back home and playing in front of their home fans when they host Sri Lanka.
81.6 - J Hazlewood to M Khan
Full-length delivery, he drives it to mid-on, Abbas at the non-striker end was out of his crease, Musa wasn't interested, Cummins pings a sharp throw and it knocks off the stumps and that's the end of Pakistan's misery. That's another innings defeat for Pakistan

81.5 - J Hazlewood to M Khan
Short of a length, whizzing away in the channel, new pink ball, and Musa is going after every ball
0
Flashing blade for four. Musa is not going without a fight, and a bit of fun at the same time.
81.4 - J Hazlewood to M Khan
Full length delivery, he whacks it hard, gets the outside edge and it races away to third man boundary

81.3 - J Hazlewood to M Khan
Spears it on a full length, he wanted to flick it to the leg side but gets a thick outside edge and it skittles to the off side

81.2 - J Hazlewood to M Khan
Back of a length, in the corridor, he flashes his blade and it was a merely a whisker away from the outside edge
0
Bang, through the gate. Pitched up hoping for some movement with the new ball and Hazlewood gets exactly that. Sharp nip off the deck and smashes into off stump. Australia are one away.
81.1 - J Hazlewood to M Rizwan
Disturbs the furniture with a cracker of a delivery and the last recognised batsman is back in the hut

Jaffa! Good length, swerving away in the channel, not far away from drawing an edge

Spears in on a full length, pumps it down the ground, threads the V but not timed to perfection, settles for one
