Pakistan Vs Australia Live Score, 3rd ODI: Shaheen Afridi Strikes Early As Matthew Short Falls For Duck | AUS 73/2 (17)

Just as a partnership was brewing between Inglis and Labuschagne, a terrible mix-up between both the batter resulted in the latter's wicket. Labuschagne was keen on taking the second run but Inglis refused his partner's advances and by the time Labuschagne could get back to his crease it was too late as Pakistan managed to hit the stumps directly, resulting in Labuschagne's ouster.

All-rounder Maaz Sadaqat makes a brilliant effort to save the boundary but gets himself hurt in the process and he rams hard into the ground the and the advertisement hording with momentum carrying him across the field. He's now gone out to get some medical treatment, meanwhile, Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne have forged a steady 41-run stand for the second wicket after losing the wicket of Matt Short early.

AUS 41/1 (10)

Haris Rauf goes into the wicket and Labuschagne just glances it fine, beats the fielder at fine leg and races away for four. Fine touch, using the pace on offer, and Australia pick up valuable runs down to the boundary.

Shaheen Afridi strikes early. Matthew Short is gone for 0(2), caught by Sahibzada Farhan at mid-on. Full and swinging in, holds up slightly off the surface, Short goes for the lofted drive but only gets the inside half. It loops towards mid-on where Farhan reacts quickly, times his jump and completes a sharp catch. Early breakthrough for Pakistan.
