Three 4s in the 41st over. A good over for Oz.

And Hassan puts it on Khawaja's pad the first ball of the next over. Easy glance for 4.

Khawaja holes out to mid-off off Amir for 18 (16).

It's hard to judge that innings. If he's in a battle with S. Marsh for a spot, this has been inconclusive.

Carey comes in. Look for fireworks.

5/277 in the 43rd over.

Line: 338.5.

Carey drives for 4 to break the lull since the last wicket.

Really, I don’t know what possesses teams that makes them mess with the batting order. Khawaja should have come in at 3, Smith at 4 and Maxy at 5. Suddenly, instead of 375, they’re looking at 325.

Oz 6/288 (44.3). Amir has 3 wickets and one over to come after this one.

NCN comes in.

Odds: Oz 76%, Pakstan 24%.

NCN departs cheaply. Oz could be bowled out here.

7/299 (46.2).

Cummins in.

He just wasted a lot of balls settling in, got comfortable and threw his hand away - it’s the story of his career. Khawaja got himself out to a loose shot trying to move things along. Marsh just got himself out to a stupid shot after faffing about for nearly 10% of the available deliveries (and over 25% of the deliveries available when he came to the wicket).

Cummins out too. The innings has stalled.

8/302 (47.3). Big chance of being bowled out.

Starc in. Oz need Carey on strike.

Commentators wonder whether the pitch has sped up.

Carey needs to farm the strike, here. Not that any of this is his fault.

Carey out LBW. He reviews. Might as well this late in the innings.

Out.

Oz have not batted out 50 overs in this tournament yet...
