Shami's first scalp was Josh Inglis who dragged on after trying to play a cut shot from a good length.
In the next over, Shami kept bowling in the fourth-stump channel and finally got one to nip back and it disturbed Cameron Green's timber.
Lastly, he removed Marcus Stoinis with another vicious good-length delivery as he edged it to Shubman Gill in the slips.
