Pakistan are in danger of losing the series already – but at the very least they need a positive performance.

Australia have made two changes for the third game of the five-match series, with Nathan Coulter-Nile and the injured Jhye Richardson replaced by Jason Behrendorff and Pat Cummins.

Paksitan have also made two changes to their pace battery – Junaid Khan and Usman Shinwari in for Mohammad Abbas and Faheem Ashraf.
