Batting: Pakistan

|---|---|---|---|
| 0.2 | FOUR | Glenn Maxwell to Imran Nazir, FOUR, superb shot to announce yourself once again, but he got a real gift. A full toss on the off, Nazir whips it away to deep mid wicket and gets off the mark with a boundary | 7/0 |
| 1.4 | FOUR | Hilfenhaus to Hafeez, FOUR, shot! Overpitched on the legs, Hafeez stays in the crease and whips it away, hits it in the air but wide of mid wicket for four | 15/0 |
| 4 | FOUR | Hilfenhaus to Imran Nazir, FOUR, he has been trying it for quite a while and finally connects well. Short delivery again, Nazir gets into position and pulls it away over mid on, bounces once and goes over the fence | 26/0 |
| 4.1 | FOUR | P Cummins to Hafeez, FOUR, wrong line and Hafeez helps himself to a boundary. Down the leg side and Hafeez whips it away past short fine leg for a boundary | 30/0 |
| 4.4 | OUT | P Cummins to Hafeez, out Caught by David Hussey!! Beautiful slower one! Hafeez is completely foxed by the change of pace. Runs in hard and bowls a slow off cutter, Hafeez looks to flick but plays it too early and lobs a sitter to mid wicket. Those deliveries can be deadly, especially when you are a bowler who can bowl 145+ regularly. Hafeez c David Hussey b P Cummins 17(15) [4s-2] | 30/1 |
| 5 | FOUR | P Cummins to Nasir Jamshed, FOUR, good shot to get off the mark. On the pads and Jamshed flicks it away to deep mid wicket, all along the ground for a boundary | 34/1 |

| 7 | OUT | Hilfenhaus to Nasir Jamshed, out Bowled!! You miss I hit. Hilfenhaus bowls this on a good length and keeps it on the off stump, Jamshed slogs across wildly and misses it completely, the ball hits the off stump. Nasir Jamshed b Hilfenhaus 10(10) [4s-2] | 44/2 |
| 7.2 | FOUR | Doherty to Imran Nazir, FOUR, not where he intended but he'll get a boundary. This one kicks off and spins away, Nazir cuts and the ball goes off the outside edge to third man, doesn't matter how they come | 48/2 |
| 9.2 | FOUR | Glenn Maxwell to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, the reverse sweep! Flighted and angled across, Akmal employs the reverse sweep and hits it over backward point for a boundary | 56/2 |
| 9.4 | FOUR | Glenn Maxwell to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, more flight but this one is smashed to deep extra cover! Superbly played, waits for it and lofts it inside out over extra cover for a boundary | 60/2 |
| 9.5 | SIX | Glenn Maxwell to Kamran Akmal, SIX, first 6 of the match. Kamran Akmal is going to have some fun. Maxwell once again gives it a lot of air, Akmal comes on the frontfoot and smashes it over long off for a maximum | 66/2 |
| 10.5 | OUT | Shane Watson to Imran Nazir, out Caught by Cameron White!! Watson strikes with a full toss! Nazir will be furious with himself. A gentle full toss outside off, Nazir comes on the frontfoot and drives it straight to short extra cover, White takes a sharp low catch. Not sure that will have any effect on the match though. Imran Nazir c Cameron White b Shane Watson 22(26) [4s-3] | 68/3 |
| 13.4 | FOUR | Cameron White to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, these are gifts. White tosses it up gently and lands it in the slot, Akmal comes on the frontfoot and smashes it to deep extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes | 80/3 |
