PAK vs AUS 2nd ODI Live Commentary - Lahore (02 June 2026)

Starts with a flatter one on middle, it grips as well. Farhan hops back to defend it down the pitch.

OUT! CAUGHT! What a take from Adam Zampa and Pakistan lose both their openers in just the first 8 legal deliveries. Just a floater from Matthew Kuhnemann, full and drifting down leg. Sahibzada Farhan sits down to help it around the corner but gets a top edge towards short fine leg. Zampa over there leaps up and takes it wonderfully over his head with both hands. Pakistan are 6/2 now.

FOUR! Nicely done. Full again, down the leg side, Ghazi Ghori gets down on one knee, sweeps it firmly and along the turf, through square leg for a boundary.

Flighted ball on leg, clipped away towards mid-wicket for a single.

A silly point in place for Babar Azam. This is bowled full around off, Babar drives it on the up and firms it to long off for one more.

No run.

Pakistan are up and running. Pitched-up delivery, on the pads, Sahibzada Farhan flicks it firmly and well to the left of Tanveer Sangha at deep backward square leg for a couple of runs.

Fuller in length, shaping away from off, Farhan leans on and drives it with sweet timing. The fielder at extra cover, moves to his left, makes a half stop and the batters get a single.

WIDE! A length ball, darted wide of the off stump. The left-hander, Maaz Sadaqat, goes after it but fails to connect, and a wide is called.

OUT! PLAYED ON! That seemed to take place in slow motion, and Australia too get a wicket in the very first over. Nathan Ellis bowls the slower one, at 111.1 kph, and angles it across off on a back of a length. Maaz Sadaqat has a tentative poke at it and gets an inside edge onto the deck. He tries to see where the ball is going and it just lands on top of the bails, which fall off and Sadaqat is in disbelief.

Pitched fuller and outside off, Babar Azam leans on and plays that favored cover drive, but straight to the fielder.

The in-between length, shapes away from middle and leg. Babar shows the full face of the blade and pushes it to mid off.

Neatly tucked away and Babar Azam is off the mark. Full and angled into the legs, Babar leans on and clips it well to the left of deep square leg for a brace. Pakistan are 6/1 in a chase of 232.
