-- Harris takes consecutive 5-wicket haul
Pakistan were reduced to 39-4, and only 38 from Umar Akmal and 29 off 10 balls from Shahid Afridi allowed them to reach 142 in 37.5 overs. Harris, who took 5-43 in Adelaide, took 5-19 in only his third ODI. The fifth and final ODI will also be in Perth on Sunday.
Harris had Salman Butt (0) and Younus Khan (6) caught behind. Kamran Akmal (17) and Mohammad Yousuf (10) briefly threatened to steady Pakistan ship, but Peter Siddle removed both men to leave visitors in deep trouble.
Umar Akmal (38) and Fawad Alam (21) produced a painstaking 60-run partnership that was more a battle for survival than any meaningful attempt to overhaul the total. But when Alam was sensationally run out by Hauritz in the 28th over, Pakistan's chase received a much-needed shot in the arm from Afridi. He pummelled Hauritz for 17 in one over and hit three fours and two sixes in a typically flamboyant cameo.
Afridi, though, could only look on from other end as Harris was brought back into attack to dismiss Umar Akmal and Rana Naved in consecutive balls. Afridi departed after miscuing a delivery from Clint McKay and Hauritz took a simple catch at third man. With Afridi gone it was only matter of time before Australia wrapped up tail, Hauritz (1-48) taking Saeed Ajmal's wicket before Harris completed slaughter when he had Rao Iftikhar Anjum spectacularly caught by a diving Brad Haddin.
