Glad that we don't have to bowl to Babar anymore [smiles]. From the Australian team and Cricket Australia to be the first team to tour in 24 years, we are very grateful, incredibly grateful for what the fans, what the PCB has given us. With first two Tests having ended in a draw, Australia made a bold declaration on the fourth day of the final Test to try and force a result. Pakistan captain: The way we started was good, but the back to back wickets cost us and we were 20 runs short. As for the ODIs, Australia never had the luck of the coin and were asked to bat first on all three occasions. We were happy with that, after the start they got, we know that Babar and Rizwan - they are fantastic at the top of the order. Everything we do will be with one eye on the World Cup - both in the T20 format and the ODIs. Really proud of the entire group, we have been in bubbles and other things but the resilience shown over the couple of years has been fantastic.

“Do we think he is still good enough to play at this level? “Babar Azam has done incredibly well in the ODI series to make it really difficult for us."

His chopping and changing of the bowlers saw Pakistan restricted to a below-par total, and Head and Inglis' truculence with the bat allowed him to take a back seat at the other end. When the wickets fell at the other end, his reassuring presence meant Australia always looked ahead of the game, and before long. The ODI series that preceded this game was especially deleterious to his prospects, with Finch looking a shadow of the player he has been for much of his career. Pakistan began the innings cautiously, with just 22 runs in the first three overs, but had managed to correct the rate by the time the fielding restrictions were lifted. Pakistan, who had begun brightly withBabar Azamand Mohammad Rizwan, as they often tend to do, lost their way through the middle overs, losing six wickets for 24 runs in a disappointing game for the middle order.

Finch had gone 16 international innings without a half-century, including 13 T20Is, and had posted nine single-figure scores in that period culminating in back-to-back ducks to finish the recent ODI series. "He's been fantastic," Finch said of Inglis. "Nothing seems to faze him. Inglis kept wicket for the first time in T20I cricket having played his previous five games as a batter.
