Nathan Lyon [3.0-0-6-0] is back into the attack

22.6

Starc to Rizwan, no run, fraction fuller and just outside off, defended back at the bowler

22.5

Starc to Rizwan, no run, fuller length delivery and well wide of off, Rizwan flat-bats the drive to mid-off

22.4

Starc to Rizwan, no run, on a good length and at the stumps, Rizwan presses across defensively

22.3

Starc to Rizwan, no run, length delivery that's pushed across the right-hander, Rizwan has a flirt at that and is beaten by the angle

22.2

Starc to Rizwan, no run, on a length and at the stumps, defended to mid-off

22.1

Starc to Rizwan, no run, fuller length delivery and slanting across the right-hander, Rizwan throws his hands on the drive and misses

21.6

Hazlewood to Masood, FOUR, lovely shot, banged in short by Hazlewood - Masood swivels across, rolled his wrists over and then split the gap between deep square leg and long leg

21.5

Hazlewood to Masood, no run, tad fuller and pushed across the left-hander, left alone

21.4

Hazlewood to Masood, no run, on a good length and just outside off, defended to the off-side

21.3

Hazlewood to Masood, no run, Hazlewood shortens the length and angles one across the left-hander, steered off the back-foot to backward point

21.2

Hazlewood to Rizwan, 1 run, banged in short and well wide of off - Rizwan rides the bounce and flaps it through square leg for a single

21.1

Hazlewood to Rizwan, no run, short of a good length and holding its line outside off, left alone

20.6

Starc to Masood, no run, loud shout for LBW, but has Masood been struck outside the line of off-stump? Is the height an issue? Australia have reviewed though - was the nip-backer and a shuffling Masood was caught on the move - no bat, Hotspot and RTS confirm it, onto ball-tracking and the impact is indeed outside off - so the original call stays and the hosts lose a review. Nipped back in sharply and smashed onto Masood's knee-roll, only the impact saving the Pakistan captain

20.5

Starc to Masood, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Masood leans forward and pushes it to mid-off

20.4

Starc to Masood, no run, short of a good length and angling back into the left-hander, Masood chops it hard onto the ground and the ball bounces to Smith at second slip

20.3

Starc to Masood, 2 runs, too full and too straight from Starc, on the pads and it's clipped through mid-wicket for a couple of runs

20.2

Starc to Masood, FOUR, uppish and four, fuller length delivery and well wide of off - Masood was lured into an uncontrolled drive, playing well away from his body and slices a thick edge, which dropped wide and short of Lyon, at backward point

20.1

Starc to Masood, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, pushed straight to the fielder at mid-off

19.6

Hazlewood to Rizwan, no run, short of a good length and holding its line outside off, left alone and it bounces through to the keeper
