Cummins again. Rizwan trapped in front. Out.

A review would've saved Rizwan. Pitched outside leg.
Donny.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

^ That's the problem with using reviews when you know you're out. They only had the one left and were worried about spending it. Strange, though - it looked well outside off live.

"Oh, that is a great catch, that is an oustanding catch" as Smith gets Babar Azam from Lyon. And then Starc gets Sajid Khan. 2 new bats. 7 down.

Cummins gets the win. Bowled neck and crop. Australia wins the series.

Pakistan all out 235. Australia's margin of victory is 115.

Pakistan was 2/142, so they lost 8/93.

Bowling: Lyon 5/83, Cummins 3/23, Green 1/18, Starc 1/53.

Series bowling averages:

PJ Cummins 22.5
MA Starc 34.12
NM Lyon 44.91
C Green 57
M Labuschagne 123
MJ Swepson 133

Cummins and Lyon each took 12 wickets. Starc took 8, Green 3, Swepson 2 and Marnus 1.

Cummins took match figures of 8/79 - ridiculous bowling in those conditions.

The Age reports that Cummins is
one of only three [Test captains] who has led Australia to a series victory in Pakistan along with Mark Taylor and Richie Benaud, and one of only two Australian captains with Benaud not to lose a Test in Pakistan.

These two rare specimens, bowling captains, have won three quarters of the Test victories claimed by Australia in Pakistan.
Australia have won just four of 23 Tests in Pakistan going back almost 70 years.

It highlights the magnitude of the achievement from Cummins and his team in unforgiving conditions and offers considerable credibility to Australia’s ranking as the number one Test team.
