Inglis punches the air in delight as Australia register a famous win in Lahore and get their campaign off to a winning start.

46.5: Jofra Archer to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Maxwell cashes in on the Free Hit! Archer goes searching for the yorker but misses his mark. Serves it in the slot, on middle, Maxwell goes deep in the crease and gets under the ball. Launches it over long on for a six. Australia need just 4 more now.

46.5: Jofra Archer to Glenn Maxwell, NO BALL! Archer gets it all wrong as the ball slips out of his hand and it goes around the waist. Maxwell is hurried as he tries to swipe it across the line and also gets tucked up for room. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket where Liam Livingstone takes it. Livingstone completes the catch and releases the throw immediately as the batters cross. It is referred upstairs and the replays confirm that the ball was indeed above the waist. The third umpire then checks whether the batters crossed before the catch was completed. He gives his verdict that the catch was completed first and then the batters crossed. So, it will be Maxwell on strike for the Free Hit.

47.2: Marnus Labuschagne to Ben Duckett, OUT! LBW! Marnus Labuschagne joins the party now! He gets rid of the centurion and that will surely make an impact on the final total. This is very slow through the air, short and on middle. Ben Duckett goes down to sweep it away but is way, way early through his shot and gets hit on the thigh pad right in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. However, Duckett takes the review, but UltraEdge and Ball Tracking both go against him. He walks back to a standing ovation for his exceptional 165 off 143.
