| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2 | FOUR | Junaid Khan to Wade, FOUR, first boundary of the evening, this was a low full toss outside off, Wade manages to squeeze it past the 2nd slip and into the fence, it came right of the toe of the bat | 8/0 |
| 1.3 | DROPPED | Junaid Khan to Wade, no run, Umar Akmal drops a sitter and misses a run-out, this was pitched on a length and shapes away, squares Wade up as he looked to defend, loops in the air towards Umar at point who drops a dolly, the batsman was half-way down the track in anticipation of a single before being sent back, Umar shys at the stick and misses again, Wade survives | 8/0 |
| 1.4 | OUT | Junaid Khan to Wade, out Bowled!! Not third time lucky, Wade is a goner and Akmal can breathe a sigh of relief. This was pitched just outside off and holds its line, Wade drives away from his body, gets a thick inside edge that crashes back onto the stumps, Wade is disgusted and Pakistan have an early wicket. Wade b Junaid Khan 7(8) [4s-1] | 8/1 |
| 2.4 | FOUR | Tanvir to Michael Clarke, FOUR, fine shot from Clarke, nice way to get off the mark, this was full and on the pads, whipped away in the arc between mid-wicket and mid-on, the ball speeds across the fast outfield and races away to the fence | 16/1 |
| 3.3 | FOUR | Junaid Khan to Michael Clarke, FOUR, cracking shot, overpitched and outside off, Clarke gets a big stride, gets to the pitch of the ball and drills it wide of mid-off for a boundary | 23/1 |
| 7 | FOUR | Tanvir to Michael Clarke, FOUR, too short from Tanvir, Clarke rocks back and sends the pull whistling past mid-wicket. It was in the air and just wide of the fielder out there, but the ball had long gone by even before he could react | 36/1 |
| 8.3 | FOUR | Junaid Khan to Warner, FOUR, fine shot from Warner, too straight from Junaid Khan, Warner gets inside the line and clips it behind square. The fielder in the deep is very square, long chase for Ajmal, he can't stop the ball from crossing the ropes | 41/1 |
| 18.2 | FOUR | Abdur Rehman to Warner, FOUR, too short from Rehman, drops this one short and outside off, Warner rocks back and splits the gap between point and cover for a boundary | 71/1 |
| 19.5 | OUT | Ajmal to Warner, out Lbw!! Warner's misery has ended, this was the straighter one, pitches on middle and holds its line, Warner shuffled across the stumps as he looked to work it towards the onside, misses it and is struck plumb in front of middle and leg, the ball was going on to hit the stumps. Warner has a chat with Clarke before trudging off. Warner lbw b Ajmal 24(68) [4s-2] | 74/2 |
| 22 | SIX | Ajmal to Michael Hussey, SIX, rank bad ball from Ajmal, a juicy full toss outside off, Hussey swats it deep into the stands at widish long on, an excellent over has been ruined | 84/2 |
| 23 | OUT | Hafeez to Michael Clarke, out Lbw!! That was very unlucky for Clarke, the ball would have just clipped the top of leg-bail, the original decision was out and it stays so. This was flighted outside off and spins back in, Clarke was pressing across in defence, misses and is struck in front of middle and leg, the umpire did not waste any time in raising the finger, replays showed he was just about right. Big wicket for Pakistan, Australia's best player of spin has been dismissed. They also lose a review. Michael Clarke lbw b Hafeez 37(54) [4s-3] | 86/3 |
| 23.3 | OUT | Ajmal to David Hussey, out Lbw!! David looks stunned, he walks away in despair. This was well tossed up and spins back in, Hussey gets a big stride forward as he looked to defend, gets hit just below the knee roll. Was the ball going on to miss the stumps? The umpire was sure about it, his finger went up straight away, the younger Hussey is out for a blob. He did not have a review either. David Hussey lbw b Ajmal 0(2) | 87/4 |

| 35.3 | FOUR | Abdur Rehman to George Bailey, FOUR, the outside edge is working well for Bailey, flatter and quicker outside off, Bailey looks to drive, gets a thick outside edge that eludes Junaid who was running back from short third man | 149/4 |
| 37.1 | OUT | Abdur Rehman to George Bailey, out Caught&Bowled!! Tame dismissal for Bailey. This was flighted on middle and spinning away, Bailey was looking to work it towards the onside, closes the face of the bat a tad too early, gets a leading edge that pops back to the bowler. He takes the catch and the Pakistan camp celebrate. George Bailey c and b Abdur Rehman 39(46) [4s-3] | 153/5 |

| 45.1 | OUT | Ajmal to Michael Hussey, out Bowled!! A tired Hussey falls, this was well tossed up on the middle, Hussey was looking to slug it over mid-wicket, misses it completely and hears the rattle of his stumps.

| 45.5 | OUT | Ajmal to Glenn Maxwell, out Stumped!! Big wicket for Ajmal, the doosra has foxed Maxwell, he runs down the track, looks to go inside out over cover, is down in by the doosra and is yards out of his crease as Kamran whips the bails off.
