Australia vs Pakistan, Second Test day one live

The Second Test is just a few overs old and a bizarre move has already rubbished Pakistan's denial at accusations it is deploying unsavoury tactics.

Pakistan moved its second slip forward just five overs into the test.

The second Test between Australia and Pakistan is here and the cricketing world will be hoping for much more than the dour draw from the first Test in Rawalpindi.

Only 14 wickets fell over five days and although there was some time lost to bad light and rain on the fourth day, it was mostly just a slow slog for the bowlers.

Australian captain Pat Cummins confirmed at the toss of the coin his team believes there will be more turn on the Karachi pitch. He also announced Queenslander Mitch Swepson has been handed his first Baggy Green five years after being called into the Australian squad.

The match began at 4pm with Cummins winning the toss and electing to bat.
