Runs

Another good shot from Hafeez, and that's 150 up for Pakistan. A strong drive to the ropes and Warner couldn't get around in time to cut it off.

Four more for Hafeez, straight hit down the ground this time. This outfield is super fast, it didn't look like it was going to get there but it raced away from the chasing fielder.

Hafeez reads that well and slog sweeps it over the fence. Good shot after a bit of a post-wicket lull. 

wicket!

But now he goes!

Devastating blow for Pakistan. Sharjeel once again tries to go huge on the on side, but doesn't get all of this one and it's well caught by Warner right on the ropes.

Now back-to-back boundaries!

14 in three balls. Two nearly identical shots here, guiding the ball down through third man.

Top tier this time!

That is HUGE - Sharjeel again, this time a bit short from Head and he's getting a taste of his own medicine after punishing the Pakistan bowlers earlier today.

Sharjeel pulls one and that was nearly caught - it bounces just in front of a diving Head who got caught in no man's land and the result is the ball completely bypassing him and going to the fence. 

Runs

Works a single onto the on side and that's a half-century off only 36 balls. Can he go on with it? 

wicket!

Babar holes out in the deep!

He tries to emulate his teammate after a single, but doesn't get enough on it and a diving Hazlewood makes the grab to break up what was a dangerous partnership.

Another massive hit from Sharjeel!

That's huge. He comes down the wicket to Head and hoicks one over the fence at long on.

Finally they find the fence. Sharjeel pulls a short ball through the gap and there's nobody near the midwicket ropes. That's the first boundary in more than four overs.

Adam Zampa into the attack now. Can Australia find a wicket? 

Travis Head comes into the attack and his first over yields just two runs as the run rate dips back below seven.

Another edge races away to the fence!

No slips in place and it would have carried straight to the cordon! Another boundary instead.

Babar stands tall and drives it right back past Hazlewood for four.

Another good strike from Sharjeel, this has been very bright for Pakistan in the early stages.

Glorious from Sharjeel!

Hit with real power over the ropes at long on! Still a mountain of work to do but this has been a lightning-quick start for the visitors.
