Cummins.

"With the series already secure and a World Cup and Ashes double beginning in a little more than two months, the Aussies are taking no risks with their star player and he will fly home tomorrow."

I think that's the 3rd Maxwell run out in a row.
I think that beats B. McDermott's 'record'.

Marsh, Handscomb, Stoinis all failed with the bat.

Finch back down to Earth: 0/19 (2).

Pakistan 2/195 (38 ). Oz's total is looking much too low now.

Abid Ali 99* (110)... And he gets a century on debut.

Oz 4.33 [~22%], Pakistan 1.22 [~78%].

2 wickets in 13 balls. But Rizwan 83* (83) is still there to guide Pakistan.
4/229 (43.1).

Oz 3.20 [~30%], Pakistan 1.36 [~70%].

Rizwan into the 90s: 92 (93).
His wicket is the key.
They've let the RRR get a bit high.

Bookie doesn't think there's a problem:
Oz 3.50 [~27%], Pakistan 1.30 [~73%].

11 off the over, so maybe they're right. Now 4/253 (47).

Another wicket, but not Rizwan's. Pakistan still okay.

But another in the next over.

6/261. Not Rizwan either.

The odds have swung to the opposite:
Oz 1.11 [~85%], Pakistan 6.50 [~15%].

17 needed off the last over.

Yasir Shah gets 1 to get Rizwan on strike.
Stoinis bowls a wide!
Rizwan out next ball!! Picked out Handscomb in the deep!
One run.
Shinwari hits a 6!
Shinwari out next ball!! Handscomb another catch.

Stoinis just needs a legal delivery. That's all.
It is legal. And just 1 run.

Horrible final 3 overs from Pakistan. They threw the game away.
3 different bowlers. 1/3, 1/5, 2/10 make 4/18 (3).

First time ever a team has chased under 280, had two centurions and lost.

Maxwell MOTM, of course.

That's 7 from 7. Great result, especially given that they played one bowler short (Cummins) and one batsman short (Marsh).
