For Australia, Pat Cummins dismissed five men and Mitchell Starc took two wickets, one each from Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh and Nathan Lyon. Imam-ul-Haq was left out of the Pakistan squad and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was not included in the rest of the squad, with youngsters Saim Ayub and Sajid Khan taking his place.
