That's it from the SCG - Pakistan started brightly and Sharjeel did his best, but once he departed what was a hard task became an impossible one. Pakistan end up falling well short and Australia take the ODI series. Thanks for following along, see you next time.
All over!
Ripper from Hazlewood - clean bowls the number 11 on his first ball and that's all she wrote.
That might be the worst shot I've ever seen!
No words for that. Imad tries to go the scoop shot, and manages to make contact but spoons it straight into the chest of the wicket keeper with minimal power. Unbelievable.
But now he goes!
A couple of balls after that shot, Cummins gets him - good line and length, caught an edge and gave Wade an easy catch.
Zampa gets another!
Good ball, straightens and fools Rizwan who is trapped in front. It's reviewed, more out of desperation than anything else...nowhere near the bat and red lights across Hawkeye.
This is a decent, solid partnership from Rizwan and Imad so far and I think the goal from here is to see out the 50. Required run rate is now up over 11 per over.
Timed to perfection, good shot from Rizwan.
And now Akmal goes!
Pakistan in huge trouble now! He goes for a big shot but skies it straight up in the air and it's easily held at third man by Cummins.
What a catch by Warner!
That's how you do it! Malik whacks another one, this time to deep mid wicket and Warner judges it perfectly to make a diving grab! Doesn't he love playing here!
Back to top
Malik goes big this time, just over the head of a diving Maxwell right on the rope behind the bowler. They need a few more like that!
And now a drop!
It's all happening here. Head covers a mile of space to get in a position to make a diving grab at mid-on, but can't hold onto the ball!
Just over Khawaja's head!
That's a big chance, but he didn't time his jump and Malik gets away with one.
Runs really drying up here - the run rate is down under six now, and the required is up over nine. Really dull stuff in the last couple of overs.
Hafeez goes for 40!
Too many dot balls at the moment. No boundaries for ten minutes and finally Hafeez tries to go big but holes out to midwicket!
Back to topSlashing cut from Malik, great shot. He's started to wake up after a slow start, timing his run very well.
Run rate dipping again, as Zampa comes up with a very useful over. If Pakistan can keep it above six until the 35th over or so and then go the tonk, we might have a finish here.
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.
Some stupid boundary dives are going to cause a player a leg injury one day. #AUSvPAK

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.
