Australia vs Pakistan, 1st Test, Day 1, Brisbane
- Pakistan were bowled out for 240 on the brink of stumps with Starc finishing with four wickets.
- Cummins ended Shafiq's resistance at the other end for 76 as Pakistan were slipping.
- Starc was on a hat-trick afte Shaheen Afridi departed next ball. He didn't get one eventually.
- Yasir did well to hold his end, until he was undone by a Starc yorker with the new ball.
- Shafiq got to a fifty thereafter and added 84 runs with Yasir to keep Australia at bay.
- Rizwan was given out in a controversial decision. No part of Pat Cummins's foot was found behind the line. Instead of it being adjudged a no-ball he was given out.
- Asad Shafiq then staged two resilient stands - first with Mohammad Rizwan who counterattacked the bowlers. And then with Yasir Shah.
- Wickets fell in a heap as Pakistan were reduced to 94/5.
- One brought two for Australia as the openers were sent back in successive overs.
- It was Pat Cummins once again who gave Australia the breakthrough right after Lunch, getting Masood after a hostile spell.

- Naseem Shah became the ninth-youngest debutant in Test cricket after being named in Pakistan's XI.
