10.5 Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch

FOUR! Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air uncontrolled past long on for 4 runs, dropped catch by Ali. That sums up Pakistan's day. Finch goes to finish the game off in style with another six, but mis-hits down to long on. Came at the man quickly, and it bursts out the hands to trickle into the rope.A serious reality check for Pakistan, and a remarkable turnaround for Australia. This game was even more one-sided than yesterday's. Australia better in every department, and have given their opponents a real hammering. Billy Stanlake with his four wickets, and Aaron Finch with his 68 not out the two standouts. Join us tomorrow once again for Match 3 of this tri-series, where we will see the hosts, Zimbabwe, battle it out with the Aussies.

10.4 Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch

SIX! Shadab Khan to Aaron Finch. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Oh my. That is by far the biggest six we have seen today. Finch is down on one knee, swings as hard as possible, and it pings off the middle of the bat. Serious distance on that.
