TBH, I think that has come 3 overs too late for Pak. 120 SR is not enough at this stage.

I fear people are not quite understanding how these pitches have made it very difficult to just blast from the off.

Rizwan has done for Pak here. Left no time and balls left for the big hitters to make a difference. This is Bairstow chewing up RR at the top of Eng innings but at he didn't last as long.

Oh man....Pakistan have shat the bed in these final 2 overs.

They're going to be about 15 or 20 short.

Yup. No use having wickets in hand in these 20 over games if you compress them into the last few overs. Babar going was fatal because it gave Rizwan the role to anchor which he took too deep.

I don't know man.....Zaman goes 6,6,1 to get Pakistan to 176/4

I reckon they might have enough.

This was a 185 wicket. Only chance now is Afridi needs to get his wicket taking mojo back and get both Warner and Finch really early and force Aus to consolidate to load the pressure.

0.4 "Huge, huge appeal for lbw! Crazy scenes. They have called for the review. This is an unplayable yorker. He might be run out as well. One thing at a time. Speared in full at middle and leg, late swing. Actually, they check the run out first and he's okay there. Hits him full on the toe. Wow, umpire's call on impact and hitting the wickets. Breathe."

Fine margins.

Turns out, bowling spin pies wasn't the best tactic after Shaheen's pace. Both players looking to feast on anyone who isn't Shaheen now.

Why would they bowl Imad when Warner was at the crease during the powerplay??? That was a seriously poor decision considering Warner's record against him.

Arrrrrgh......this is not going well.

Can someone stop Mark Nicholas from shouting “that’s out of the ground!” when the balls ultimately lands 5 rows back from the boundary.

Apparently Maxwell hates being called Big Show.

Anyway, wild swing there by Big Show.
