A run-out opportunity for Pakistan but they missed it.

PAK: 113/5 (34.5)

AUS vs PAK U19 WC Live: Can Pakistan get near 200?

Pakistan can still get close to 200. Plenty of balls remaining but that hasn’t been the concern. Regular wickets have dented their innings

PAK: 100/5 (33)

AUS vs PAK U19 WC Live: Four runs!

Driven through the covers with power and intent! Boundary for Pakistan! Don’t think we have had the opportunity to use the word boundary today as much as we would’ve liked. Nonethless, Minhas lashes on to a poor delivery

PAK: 91/5 (31.2)

AUS vs PAK U19 WC Live: What are we witnessing?

This has been some collapse from Pakistan! Not even a single partnership worthy of appraise. Azan Awais is fighting a lone battle at the moment

The bowling change has worked for Australia! Haroon can’t get bat on ball, and the delivery sneaks past his outside edge to knock off stump back.

PAK: 79/5 (27.6)

AUS vs PAK U19 WC Live: Solid over!

This has been an excellent spell so far from MacMillan. Just one run off it. Pakistan need 200 from here. Anything less than that wouldn’t be a problem for a batting heavy team like Australia

PAK: 65/4 (23)
