Drinks has been called for! Australia have tightened the screws expertly, dismantling Pakistan’s middle order to seize firm control of the game. The crucial wicket of Mohammad Rizwan has swung the momentum even further in their favour, and they’ll now be eager to mop up the tail quickly. For Pakistan, it's been a challenging innings, with wickets falling just as they seemed to be finding stability. All hopes now rest on Irfan Khan to push the total forward and give the bowlers something to defend. With that Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat next.
