PAK VS AUS - 2nd ODI, Pakistan v Australia in UAE, 2019

The Sharjah leg is done and dusted. The teams now move to Abu Dhabi for the next encounter. While Australia will be keen to keep their 5-match winning streak intact, the Pakistanis will try their best to stay alive in the series. Until next time, it's goodbye!!

22:42 Local Time: Oh, Australia, they just manage to click at the right time, don't they? It all revolves around the World Cup for them. Their captain is well and truly back in form, clubbing the white ball all over the park. Khawaja, the kind of form he is in, you'd say he missed out on a hundred today. Oh he looks so fluent. And Pakistan's bowling simply didn't look upto it today, particularly with the stalwarts missing and a rookie making a mark with his pace but not so much with wit. It's the Aussies, who have a commanding lead in the series and in terms of momentum right now. A fantastic knock by Rizwan earlier in the day, and perhaps the only thing that the Pakistan players can take from this match is that their batting has shown a lot of character today, on a pitch that has been a little two-paced...

Faheem Ashraf to Finch, leg byes, 2 runs, on the pads, turned away behind square leg for a couple of runs, and that seals the deal! Aaron Finch, fittingly, scores the winning runs for the Aussies (well, turns out they're leg-byes, but Finch's-leg-byes) and they have a commanding 2-0 lead in the 5-match series

Faheem Ashraf to Finch, SIX, that should seal it! A half-volley on middle and off, right in the slot, Finch just swings through the line and lofts it straight down the ground for a massive six!

Mohammad Hasnain to Finch, 1 run, fuller length delivery outside off, Finch pushes it towards cover, where Sohail picks up and throws at the non-striker's end - and it was gone if he had hit. Not even in the frame...

RRR above 6 now!

Faheem Ashraf to Shaun Marsh, 1 run, another one not quite there for the pull, Shaun Marsh loses his shape trying to pull, gets one hand off the bat, and gets it off the splice, in the air for a while, towards mid-on and there's no real attempt to take a catch! They've taken a single in the process...

Faheem Ashraf to Shaun Marsh, no run, back of a length delivery, holding up off the pitch outside off-stump, Shaun Marsh has a swipe across the line towards midwicket, gets a thick under-edge towards the on-side
