Over 4.2 Sam Curran bowls a pitched up delivery to Mohammad Rizwan, out Bowled! Rizwan has a go at it looking to crash it through the covers, and he drags it back on to the stumps off the inside edge.

Over 7.1 Adil Rashid tossed up delivery to Mohammad Haris,  out Caught by Stokes!! Haris wanted to take on the legspinner straightaway, came dancing down but got completely deceived in the flight. Eventually had to reach out in front of the body for his lofted shot and miscued it in the air to long-on.

Over 11.1 Adil Rashid bowls it flat in the air to Babar Azam, out Caught and Bowled! The wrong 'un and Babar does not read it, he hangs back and is cramped for room, tries to cut and ends up chipping it off the inner part back down the pitch, Rashid moves forward and takes a good diving catch.

Over 12.2 Ben Stokes bowls it short of length to Iftikhar Ahmed, out Caught by Buttler!!  Good length ball around the off-stump and Iftikhar has to play because of Stokes' angle but the ball straightens, takes the shoulder of the bat and carries nicely to Buttler. 

Over 16.3 Ben Stokes bowls a good length delivery to Shan Masood, out Caught by Livingstone!! It is the hard length and Masood tries his best to get under it, but can only mistime the pull to deep mid-wicket, Livingstone was well inside the rope as he took the catch.

Over 17.2 Chris Jordan bowls it short of length to Shadab Khan, out Caught by Woakes!! Shadab backs away and is rushed on the cross-batted shot and ends up splicing it to mid-off where Woakes takes the simplest of catches.

Over 18.3 Sam Curran bowls a good length delivery to Mohammad Nawaz, out Caught by Livingstone!!  Nawaz clears his front leg and does well to middle the whip, but these are big boundaries at the MCG and Livingstone is once again well inside near deep mid-wicket to take the catch.

Over 19.3 Chris Jordan bowls a back of length delivery to Mohammad Wasim Jr,  out Caught by Livingstone!!  Another hard length from Jordan and Wasim cannot connect properly with his heave, miscues it off the top half and Livingstone decides to take it low.
