Cummins has a mountain on his plate if he is to rescue this battling collapse for Australia with his tail enders.
Australia 7-129 (after 26 overs)
Rauf is back with the bowl in hand and makes an immediate impact with the perfect line and length, Hardie edges the ball for the diving Rizwan who gratefully takes the catch in his gloves.

Saim Ayub is having a little bit of a tough time as a spinner out there on the Adelaide Oval deck as Maxwell launches the ball over deep point for the second six of the afternoon.
There is still plenty of cricket to be played as we creep over 24 overs, and just short of halfway of the Australian innings.
After leaving the first ODI at the MCG for 0, Maxwell is looking good on 10 runs for 10 balls.

Mohammad Hasnain pitching outside off appeals for LBW on Steve Smith and it goes upstairs, but the umpire rules it not out.
The very next ball which was almost pitching wide and Smith swings relatively wildly and Hasnain gets his man with his captain Rizwan taking a neat catch. Smith leaves the field after 35 hard fought runs.
The pendulum has swung in Pakistan’s favour, but it is still very early days in this contest.
