16-4 - WICKET!!! Starc continues, as Akmal tries to turn the ball to the leg side but only manages a top edge as the ball is lofted to Watson at mid-off for a simple catch. Pressure is piling on to the Pakistani's now as the Aussies are bowling with great speed and accuracy.
15-3 - WICKETs!!! Not a great start for Pakistan; first ball is stroked by Hafeez over mid-off for a sneaky boundary, he tries the same thing the next ball, but this ball is pitched up a little more and Hafeez can only hit it straight into short cover for a simple catch. Malik in and then OUT!!! Only stays for three balls before departing to an absolute ripper of an in-swinger; the ball is quick and full. Most batsmen would go out to that ball early in their innings.
11-1 - WICKET!!! Nazir falls early as he plays all around one that pitches on middle and straightens up. He does not look happy at the decision, but it is as plumb as an LBW decision can be. Jamshed in early and reaches for a wide one and gets a thick edge past the slips for an early boundary.
6-0 - Watson starts to Hafeez and great running from the Pakistan openers immediately as Hafeez squeezes the first ball behind point for two. Hafeez flicks the third ball through mid-wicket in the air as the batters cross for three.
Australia will feel they have missed out on a big score here today, after a cracking start by Warner and Watson. Pakistan did well to pull them back though, through great fielding in the deep and some tight bowling as well as wickets at crucial times from Gul, Arafat and Ajmal
168-7 - WICKET!!! Wade slices the first two balls through the covers for two runs off each ball as he looks to make the most of the last over. Christian is on strike after a single to long-onas Gul puts a slower bouncer in; Christian, tries to pull it with all he has but only manages a thin edge as Akmal makes no mistake and a soft wicket for the Aussies. Cummins comes in to face the last ball as Australia end on 168-7 with their 20 overs.
160-6 - WICKET!!! After a fantastic start by the Aussies, Pakistan have pulled this back with great bowling and fielding. Ajmal castles Hussey, he puts in a quicker one and beats Hussey for pace; who played inside the line.
158-5 - WICKET!!! White does not trouble the scorers as he just does not get enough onto it and skies it to Umar Akmal at long-on, who fumbles it but makes it safe. Hussey finally gets a start with a smash through deep mid-wicket off his front foot for his first boundary; flat and hard!
151-4 - WICKET!!! Bailey gets castled by the best spinner in world cricket, he tries to slog sweep it and just misses it completely; the ball turns back and castles him! Ajmal shows his class on the third ball again as he gets one to move from the foot marks and it beats everything, it turns a good meter and goes for four byes.
145-3 - Hafeez carries on and flies through his over, two to deep square off the pads of Bailey is the highlight of the over.

104-0 - Australian batsman are showing their class as they show no respect for Ajmal with sixes over mid-wicket again. Great slogging off good balls!!! Warner is the first batsman to get to 50 as Pakistan scramble to save this innings.
89-0 - SIXES!!!! Its raining sixes in Dubai as Warner not wanting to be left behind, he picks out mid-wicket and slogs the three balls with great slog sweeps. The bowlers can only watch as these balls are flying everywhere!

16-0 - Massive appeal from Razzaq against Watson off the second ball; the ball moves off the seam and into Watson pads, the umpire not interested. Next ball, Razzaq tries it again but Watson, replies with a crunching drive over the bowlers head; he does not even move as he watches the ball smash into the boundary.
10-0 - Gul to Watson, Gul gets the ball to move immediately off the seam and beats Watson with his second ball with one that cuts back. Each batsmen gets two singles with some good running from Australia early in this innings

Warner opens and chases the third ball, which is pitched wide outside off, he gets a thick edge and opens his account with a boundary past the diving third man.
