AUS beat PAK by an innings and 5 runs | Australia vs Pakistan, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Test Match - Commentary

Debutant, the 16-year-old Naseem Shah is into the attack now.

Day 1 started with Pakistan battling out the first session to remain unscathed with skipper Azhar Ali and Shan Masood adding 75 runs for the first wicket. The second session, not so good for the visitors as the Australians hit back with quick wickets. In the third one, Mohammad Rizwan scored briskly but given out controversially by the third umpire. Asad Shafiq then added useful 84 runs with the help of Yasir Shah before the Aussie seamers bundled the visitors for 240. It is time for Day 2 now. Will the Aussie be able to take a lead with a huge first inning total or will Pakistan be able to spring a surprise with their young and inexperienced pace attack? We will find that out soon. Welcome to our coverage for the same.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Now, what to look for on Day 2? Pakistan's pace attack is a much-talked one with the debutant, the 16-year-old, Naseem Shah, being the talk of the town. They will look to replicate what their counterparts have done with the ball while the hosts would look to score a massive first innings total to take a huge lead. Will the hosts be able to do so or will Pakistan be able to chip in with wickets early on to keep the game in the balance? Join us to find that out at 1000 local (0000 GMT) on 22nd November, 2019. Till then, take care!

Talking about the hosts' bowling, it did not start well. The pacers were either too short or too full and that meant that they could not draw the batters into the shots. Going into Lunch, they would've been a tad disappointed. However, post the Lunch break, the pacers combined to pick quick wickets to push Pakistan on the back foot. From 75/0, Pakistan were reeling at 94/5. The late fight from Shafiq and Yasir kept the bowlers at bay for a while. Things changed as soon as Starc got the second new cherry in his hand. He along with Cummins combined together to close the Pakistani innings.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan opted to bat first after winning the toss. The openers, skipper Azhar Ali and Shan Masood negated the entire first session. However, they could not convert their starts into big ones and fell in quick succession. Babar Azam got out playing a needless shot early in his innings, leaving the side in a limbo. Mohammad Rizwan and Asad Shafiq then added 49 runs between them to provide some stability. However, a poor call from the third umpire saw Rizwan depart. Shafiq and then Yasir combined together to add 84 runs between them to take Pakistan's total over 200. In the process, Shafiq raked up his 24th Test half ton. But eventually the hosts' pacers had the last laugh as they finished off the things just at the close of the day.

There you go then. The second new ball brought a flurry of wickets and that sees Pakistan getting bundled out for 240. Starc and Cummins took the second new ball and wrecked havoc with it to close down the innings.

Mitchell Starc to Naseem Shah. OUT! Caught and bowled! There goes the debutant and Australia bundle out Pakistan. A short of a length ball on middle, Naseem hops to defend but the ball takes the leading edge and lobs up in the air towards the bowler. Starc settles under it and pouches it with ease. PAKISTAN ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 240.

Mitchell Starc to Naseem Shah. Bouncer down the leg side. Naseem looks to pull but misses.

Pat Cummins to Imran Khan jr. Dropped! Cummins bowls it fullish and wide outside off, inviting for the drive. Khan jr obliges and goes for the drive away from the body. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to Marnus Labuschagne at third slip. He looks to gobble it but fails to catch it.

Hard not to spot this. The Aussie openers are nervous and Warner and Burns are having a small chat. There is a nervous smile on their faces and then a look at the clock. 'Keep ticking', they will be saying. 4 minutes more. If Pakistan manage to hang around till 0720 GMT, Australia will not have to bat tonight, even if the visitors get bowled out, as it takes 10 minutes for the innings changeover.

Mitchell Starc to Naseem Shah. Yorker around off, Naseem digs it out through point and picks up another couple. Australia won't mind these, as long as this last wicket pair bats till 5.20 pm local.

Pat Cummins to Naseem Shah. BEATEN! Another wild heave! Good length ball outside off, Shah looks to play the slog to the off side but misses it completely.

Who will be Starc's second new-ball partner? Pat Cummins. 19-6-54-2 are his figures so far.

Mitchell Starc to Naseem Shah. 'Hey! Only one man is running!' spots my colleague, Ruwaab. Boy, a lovely delivery on the hat-trick ball but could have well been a team hat-trick. A length ball, around off, Naseem gets across and looks to tuck it to the leg side but the ball swings in, takes the inside edge and goes towards square leg. Now, Naseem comes halfway down the track for the single but Shafiq sends him back. Luckily for the batsman, the fielder is not to the ball when he is halfway down the track. Gets back in time. What an over from Starc.

What a time for the debutant. Naseem Shah walks in to face the hat-trick ball.

Mitchell Starc to Shaheen Afridi. OUT! Caught! Two in two for Starc. The Ultra Edge suggests an outside edge which means Starc will be on a hat-trick next ball. A good length ball, closer to the off pole. Shaheen looks to drive away from the body but gets an outside edge. Paine behind the wicket gobbles and celebrates along with the bowler. The umpire though is not interested as he turns down the appeal. Paine thinks and thinks and almost decides against the review. However, Smith from the slip cordon asks him to go for the review. With just 4 seconds left on the clock, he goes for the review. First, Hot Spot. Massive spot on the bat. Here comes the Ultra Edge, a faint tickle has been spotted and Afridi has to walk back for a first-ball duck. Starc on a hat-trick!

Is that another? There was a big noise as the ball went past the bat. Paine is confident but the slip cordon isn't. Paine throws the ball away but with 4 seconds left, takes the review, as Smith tells him to. And voila! Hot Spot shows a mark! Now, now, now, is Smudge ever wrong in reviews? Ajinkya Rahane, 2015 World Cup, any rememberance?

Shaheen Afridi is the new batsman in.

Mitchell Starc to Yasir Shah. OUT! Timber! No need to appeal for these. What a brilliant yorker this one. The second new ball has done the trick for them. Wonder if even the top order could've done much to that delivery. An inswinging yorker. Shah looks to jam it away but misses. The ball swings in, misses the inside edge, hits the pad and disturbs the stumps. The 84-run stand is broken.

CRICKET UPDATE - Meanwhile, in Mount Maunganui, which is hosting its first ever Test match, we have witnessed a day of attrition. England won the toss, elected to bat, lost just 4 wickets but could manage only 241. Three 50-run stands were seen, but none went on to reach the three-figure mark. Joe Denly's 74 and Ben Stokes' 67 highlighted the day for the English while a disciplined bowling attack can attribute a share of its success to Colin de Grandhomme, who got a couple of scalps.

Pat Cummins to Mohammad Rizwan. OUT! CAUGHT! Well, the umpire thinks it's a legal ball and he sends Rizwan packing. That clearly looks like a no ball. A surprising, surprising call from the third umpire. Rizwan will feel hard done by here. Coming to the shot, it was a poor one though. A good length ball outside off, Rizwan pushes at the ball with hard hands but manages only a tickle behind. A straightforward chance for Paine behind the wickets. Now, here is the drama. The on-field umpire is not sure whether the bowler has overstepped, so he sends it upstairs. There are plenty of replays shown and in every one of them, it appears that when the foot lands, the heel is on the line. Nothing is behind. The third umpire, Michael Gough, feels that there is something though. And gives the benefit of doubt to the bowler! Strange, strange call. Normally, the benefit of doubt always goes to a batsman. Well, there is always a first time for things. The 49-run stand is broken and the attacking innings from Rizwan has been cut short.

Rizwan is caught behind but they are checking if the bowler has overstepped. Looks like that way. What does the third umpire think?

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

A top session for the hosts as they have managed to send half the visitors' side back to the hut. It started with Pat Cummins removing Shan Masood at the start of the second session. Once the first one fell, the wicket procession started with Hazlewood picking a couple of wickets. Babar Azam came in and disappeared in no time, playing a reckless shot. Asad Shafiq and Mohammad Rizwan are amidst a 31-run stand and they would look to keep it going. The hosts, on the other hand, would look to close the innings quickly. Interesting session ahead. Join us for the final session to find out.

We are back for the second session. The Australian players are out in the middle. Shan Masood and Azhar Ali will resume their innings. Josh Hazlewood will start the proceedings after Lunch.

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

The Australians on the other hand, did not do a lot wrong. They kept it tight but did not get much assistance from the surface. Hazlewood was probably the pick of the bowlers in the first session as he troubled the batters a lot more than the rest. However, one thing the Aussies could have done better was bowling a little bit fuller. We may see their lengths change in the next session though. They will come out with the air of breaking this stand as quickly as possible and then look to make further inroads. Join us for what could be another intriguing session in a while.

A hard-fought session but it will surely be Pakistan who will be the happier of the two heading into the break. Just what they would have wanted after electing to bat. The runs have not come at a brisk rate but that is not something they will be bothered about. Both Shan and Azhar have looked really solid. They waited for the bad balls which they did manage to put away and kept out the good ones. The two now have gotten off to starts and would like to make full use of it.

Time for the action! The host players make their way to the middle before they take their respective positions on the field. Pakistan openers, skipper Azhar Ali and Shan Masood are out in the middle too. Mitchell Starc to start the proceedings for the hosts with the ball. Here we go...

PAKISTAN (PLAYING XI) - Azhar Ali (C), Shan Masood, Haris Sohail, Asad Shafiq, Iftikhar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Yasir Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah (DEBUT), Imran Khan Jr.

AUSTRALIA (PLAYING XI) - David Warner, Joe Burns, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Tim Paine (WK/C), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

TOSS - Time for the flip of the coin. Pakistan have won the Toss. THE VISITORS OPT TO BAT FIRST.

It is almost time for the Australian summer to begin. When the Aussie side last wore the baggy green, they made sure that the Urn remained with them after their spirited performance in England. Steven Smith made his return to whites and how. The world no. 1 bowler Pat Cummins has been in terrific form. What does that mean? Well, Pakistan has not won a Test in the country since 1995 and the above sentence will tell you that if they are to win one, they will be up against the likes of Smith and Cummins who will lead the batting and bowling unit of the hosts. The visitors, as always have an exceptional pace attack with a certain 16-year-old Naseem Shah set to make his Test debut. Babar Azam is one of the top batters going around in the world right now and would want to prove that. He will hope for some assistance from others around him in order to tackle Tim Paine's bowlers. Will Pakistan be able to do so or will Australia continue to dominate them at home? We will soon find out. Toss and team updates in a while.

Mantra to Pakistan - Right now, do not look at the scoreboard. Just look at 90 balls remaining. See them off without any damage. The pitch does not have any demons, so batting can still be done effectively. Stay tuned for the third innings...

What different did Australia do as compared to Pakistan? Why did the latter struggle to pick wickets regularly? One can guess the choking part. There was only a brief period when Azhar Ali stifled the run flow on Day 2 but then, allowed easy runs and that helped the scoreboard to move. Compare that to Australia in the second session on Day 1. 15 overs, 10 runs at one stage. Otherwise, not much swing, not much seam movement, not much turn either. Just a bit of bounce. Yasir Shah got 4 wickets but that was because of the batsmen going after him.

Probably, Australia will not be too unhappy with the timing of the last wicket. They have got 17 overs to get 2-3 wickets of Pakistan before the day ends. A proper Australian type batting scorecard with the batters piling on the misery on the bowlers after their own skittled out Pakistan on Day 1. Secretly, Justin Langer will be happy that Smith flopped. Because he would want a point to prove - Australia are not only about Smith. If only, this can happen outside home as well.

580. Australia's score. 340. The lead. Mammoth, in every sense. And this time, no Smith involved. It was Warner, Burns and Labuschagne who pushed Pakistan on the back foot early on while Wade just pummeled the visitors into submission.

Yasir Shah to Josh Hazlewood. OUT! LBW! Not much use of the review. Umpire's call it is, on height and Australia's batting innings ends. Flighted delivery on off, Hazlewood looks to defend but misses it as the ball turns in and gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger. Hazlewood has a long look at his partner and almost as if to suggest that there is a review left, so let's take it, opts for the same. There is nothing on Hot Spot, or Snicko. Ball Tracker shows that it is umpire's call on height, as the ball is clipping the top of leg stump. The original decision will stay as it is. AUSTRALIA ARE ALL OUT FOR 580.

Huge shout and given! Have Pakistan bowled out Australia? Hazlewood has been adjudged LBW but he has taken a review, after a chat with Lyon. Looks plumb.

We are back for the final session. The Pakistan players are out in the middle. Marnus Labuschagne and Tim Paine will resume their innings for Australia. Shaheen Afridi will start the proceedings for the final session.

... Day 3, Session 3 ...

The Australian domination in the game continues. If it was David Warner on Day 2, it has to be Marnus Labuschagne on the second day. He is unbeaten on 171 runs along with skipper Tim Paine. Marnus is looking strong out in the middle and has already gone past 150-run mark. After the wicket of Smith, he along with Wade added 110 runs with the former raking up a well made half ton before getting out to Haris Sohail. Now, with 2 days and a session left, what will the Aussies be thinking? Maybe a double ton for Labuschagne and then the declaration? Or will they bat little longer to bat Pakistan completely out of the game.

... Day 3, Session 2 ...

Another brilliant session for the Australians which puts them in a brilliant position in the game. They have swelled their lead to 155 runs already and are still going strong. Courtesy a brilliant maiden Test ton from Marnus Labuschagne. Wade joined Marnus after the wicket of Smith and has added 37 runs quickly. As far as Pakistan bowling is concerned, they kept Warner silent in the first hour of the session. Naseem and Yasir were the two bowlers who got wickets this morning. Naseem looked threatening and removed Warner with a vicious bouncer. Smith showed us that he is a human too as he fell cheaply to Yasir Shah. Now, while Pakistan have managed to get a couple of wickets in the session, they will have to get a few more wickets as quickly as possible in the afternoon session. Will they be able to do so or will Labuschagne and Wade put on another big stand to keep the lead swelling further? Join us for the afternoon session to find out.

We are ready to begin Day 3 as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne walk out to the middle. The Pakistan players are taking their respective positions on the field. Imran Khan jr will start the proceedings for Day 3.

It was all about Australian batting on Day 2. David Warner and Joe Burns combined to put on a massive 222-run opening stand. While Burns missed out on a ton, David Warner completed one and remained unbeaten on 151 runs. He has Marnus Labuschagne for the company when he resumes his innings in a while. Pakistani bowlers looked haywire on the entire second day and will have to put a spirited performance to pull their side back in the game. To do so, they need to bundle the Aussies out as quickly as possible and keep the deficit to the minimum. Will they be able to do so or will the hosts' batters pile on their misery for the bowlers? We will have all the answers soon. Welcome to our coverage of Day 3.

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

Now, what will be the total Australia will be having on their mind when they come to bat on Day 3? They would want to bat the visitor's out of the game by taking a massive total. Will they be able to pile on the runs or will Pakistani bowlers be able to get quick wickets to stop the hosts taking a massive lead? We will find that out on 23rd November, 2019. Join us at 1000 local (0000 GMT). Till then, cheers!

Pakistani bowlers did not look threatening entire day. The debutant, Naseem Shah bowled with a lot of pace but could not stick to perfect line and length. He would've had Warner his first Test wicket but that was not the case. Had he not overstepped, things might have been a little different for them. While Yasir had a wicket to his name, he too could not trouble the Aussie openers and later Marnus Labuschagne. They toiled hard but could not deliver the final punches.

The day started with both David Warner and Joe Burns starting positively and went to Lunch unscathed. They returned after the break and continued piling the runs. Warner got to his 22nd Test ton during the massive stand with Joe Burns. He got lucky once just after the Lunch when Naseem had him caught behind. However, he had overstepped and Warner did not miss out on pouncing the opportunity. Burns fell three short of a well-deserved ton, becoming the first and only victim of the day. Labuschagne joined Warner in the middle and brought up his fifty.

End of a dominating day for the hosts. Australia lead by 72 runs. David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne go to stumps with a solid 90-run stand. Warner could've been back to the pavilion during the penultimate over of the day but luck was with him as even after the ball kissed the stumps, bails did not dislodge and he will come back tomorrow too, along with Labuschagne.

We are back for the second session. The Pakistan players are out in the middle. David Warner and Joe Burns will resume the innings for Australia. Yasir Shah will start the proceedings for Pakistan after Lunch.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

A perfect session for the visitors on the surface which looks like heaven for batting. Warner and Burns have comfortably raked up a 100-run stand between them. The Pakistani bowlers have not tested them much. While they hardly got any assistance from the surface, they were not consistent with their lines and lengths throughout. Warner has brought up his 31st half ton and looking solid out in the middle. He will look to convert this one into a massive one. Seems like a long and hard day for the Pakistani seamers and spinners. They need quick wickets to get back in the game. Will they be able to do so or the Australian openers will continue piling on the runs? Join for the afternoon session to find out.
