Nathan Lyon to Hasan Ali
OUT! BOWLED! Oh, dear! Hasan Ali gets deceived by the turn and bounce here and that brings about his downfall of him. Lyon gets his man and Pakistan lose another wicket, their eighth to be precise. Lyon tosses this one up, well outside off. Hasan Ali looks to slog-sweep but he mistimes it completely and is a bit too early into his shot. He misses, the ball spins sharply and hits Hasan's helmet. It then ricochets off his glove and disturbs the stumps. Australia are just 2 wickets away from a series win. Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat now.

Nathan Lyon to Shaheen Afridi
OUT! CAUGHT! That is a terrific catch in the deep from Mitchell Swepson and Nathan Lyon bags a five-wicket haul. His second against Pakistan in Test cricket. Excellent effort from the GOAT and Pakistan lose their ninth wicket now. Lyon tosses it up, around off. Shaheen Afridi kneels and looks to slog-sweep it way over the deep square leg region. He miscues it to the left of Swepson in the deep who runs to his left, bends low and takes a really good catch. Naseem Shah is the last batter in. The Aussies are ecstatic and they get around Nathan Lyon to applaud him.
