Innings break Brilliant finish from Pakistan. Imad made 28 not out from 13 balls in a sensational cameo on a slow pitch. The innings was held together by Haris Sohail who makes his maiden ODI century. Australia need 281 to win this first ODI.

We apologise for the technical difficulties in that innings with the scoring and commentary. We will hopefully have them sorted for the run chase.

Imran: "Is Australian bowler forgot about bowling YORKER!? Haven't seen any one bowling Yorker in depth overs since India went to aus . Reason ?" Not sure. I suspect they felt the slowness of the surface meant balls banged in would be harder to hit.

Yasir Lodhi: "Fall of Faheem Ashraf's wicket was blessing in disguise. Imad should have promoted ahead of Faheem."

Long off goes back. Fine leg up
