Paceman Mitchell Starc proved the game-breaker, ending a stubborn 71-run partnership between Asad Shafiq and Yasir Shah with a searing delivery that dismissed Shafiq for 137.
Yasir Shah was the last Pakistan wicket to fall when he was run out by Steve Smith with a direct hit for 33.
Australia take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
