00:00No ball from Bollinger as that flies through to Payne behind the stumps.
00:09Nervy times for the batsmen, Ramiz, or will the Pakistanis have felt that they're going
00:13to win this game from very early on, on the first day?
00:19Off the mark with a lovely extra cover drive, this will be four and this will hearten all
00:24of Pakistan.
00:25Imran Farah gets the innings going.
00:32Way down to third man, the vacant third man area.
00:36It's got, oh down, Watson has put it down at first slip, it came quickly to him, high
00:45to his right, but it should have been taken.
00:51Another extra cover drive of pure excellence.
00:58Gone now, it's a really good ball from Hilfenhaus, but the captain has gone, Michael Clarke takes
01:10a comfortable catch there at slip.
01:13That's the breakthrough that Australia wanted.
01:19Down to third man for four, Oppenhofer, no man in the third man region.
01:39That pad's been a bit of a luxury for Australia.
01:42Well, the runs continue to flow.
01:49This inconsistency from Mitchell Johnson is, that's found the gap rather nicely.
01:59It seems to be the trend, I'm afraid, for Mitchell Johnson.
02:05Oh, that was well bowled, and there's a bit of bounce, oh dear, oh dear.
02:21He managed to bat for 33 overs and one ball, 88 all out.
02:25There'll still be four more towards the target for Pakistan.
02:35Then there was shift in bowling just to challenge him, through leg spin, through left arm, fast.
02:43Every time he's been on top of the act.
02:53He has really played well through that area of cover and cover point.
03:00Magnificent strike.
03:03Goes for the cut shot, finds the gap, gets a four, gets to his 50 as well.
03:09Tremendous batting under pressure.
03:12Pakistan needed a solid start and a contribution from their opener, well he's provided Pakistan
03:17exactly with that.
03:20Very good innings under pressure.
03:23No big celebrations from him either, Rami, he shows you his intent, he's concentrating on this.
03:32Shot, great shot, that's going to race away for four.
03:37Pakistan getting closer and closer, only 62 required now for victory.
03:47Oh, he's strong there.
03:50Great shot now, greeted with a huge roar from the Pakistan contingent in the crowd.
03:57Hold him, got it through, good Yorker from Bollinger.
04:00Really good, well he's deserved that, because he has...
04:08Thin edge and gone, so two wickets fall in quick succession.
04:13Umar Amin couldn't get his bat out of the way, it's a regulation catch for Tim Payne.
04:20Straight to the comfortable hands of Tim Payne behind the stumps and Australia get their third wicket.
04:27Umar Akmal, their big player, comes in now.
04:32There's a few nerves in the Pakistan dressing room now at the moment, it was still 43 to get.
04:39Poor delivery from Bollinger and that'll be a boundary.
04:43And that's his first Test 50.
04:47He and Pakistan will be hoping it's the first of many.
04:52And leading towards three figures as well at times.
04:59Well he's gone this time, what a good comeback by Doug Bollinger after that appalling full toss.
05:06He bowls a real beauty and Azar Ali's on his way, is there another twist in the tale?
05:12Pakistan needs 34 still.
05:16You never can tell, but this is a good start by Australia.
05:20They needed to take an early wicket.
05:22Yes, six runs have been scored, but they wouldn't mind getting a wicket every six runs.
05:28Doug Bollinger strikes again, hasn't been having a happy time of it, but of late things have gone his way.
05:34Good knock though by Azar Ali, it's 1-4, the 6-4-4.
05:38All past the second slip.
05:44Streaky, but it's a boundary for Pakistan.
05:48They now need just 30.
05:52Well this time Australia celebrate and Umar Akmal goes.
05:59Those knees will be really wobbling in the Pakistan dressing room now.
06:05Two down this morning, 1-50-5.
06:11Well Umar Akmal has played exactly the way Ricky Ponting wanted him to play.
06:15He has not played his natural game, he has gone out there looking just to block each delivery.
06:20Not too sure where he expected the runs to come from, perhaps he thought he would get a few full tosses.
06:25That's not his natural game.
06:29That's away through straight mid wicket.
06:33Shoaib Malik off the mark.
06:39And they're back for three.
06:45No, it's pitched outside leg.
06:50Lost rhythm, momentum, and Australia on top.
06:56Edge and well it's gone past the second slip.
07:00Michael Clarke with a full-fledged dive.
07:05How close was he to the ball?
07:07I got a little bit harder and suddenly the edge comes.
07:12He'll take away a couple of runs there.
07:16Good flick shot from Shoaib Malik.
07:18Bollinger with a dive.
07:22A little untidy.
07:25I'm sure that question will be asked.
07:30And taken at shot cover.
07:32Shoaib Malik has played one straight down the throat of the fielder.
07:36It's Marcus North who has picked up another wicket.
07:40And Australia now into the tail.
07:43Dressing room looks a little gloomy.
07:45Shoaib Malik is gone.
07:48What a catch. What a catch from Marcus North.
07:52I think back to last year at Headingley he took one at third slip.
07:55What a catch. He's absolutely creamed that show of Malik.
07:59Great technique. Let the ball come. Went with it.
08:02And it just stuck. Super catch.
08:05Shoaib Malik could not believe it.
08:08Is there another twist?
08:11That's beautifully done to the offside. Four runs.
08:14Precious boundary being struck here.
08:18Only 15 required now.
08:24He'll get runs. Four of them.
08:29A slice. Did the job. So 10 more required now.
08:33Kamran Akmal is leading them home.
08:39Goes for the drive. Finds the gap. May get to the boundary.
08:42It does.
08:44Beautifully crafted back foot shot from Kamran Akmal.
08:47He's looking good under pressure now. 174 for 6.
08:54And brilliantly held.
08:58Kamran Akmal feels that the ball has touched the ground.
09:01It's Michael Hussey who is confirming to the umpire
09:04that it's a clean take.
09:07First angle. Cut shot.
09:12And I think it kisses the ground. Does it?
09:15It tore way up.
09:19And this time it is held.
09:22Wicked balls. Michael Hussey with a breathtaking catch.
09:26Kamran Akmal has to leave.
09:30This is unbelievable stuff.
09:33What's going to happen?
09:36That's it. Win for Pakistan.
09:39They richly deserve this.
09:42The fans can relax. The team can relax.
09:45It was a hard-fought struggle for them but in the end
09:48what a feeling.
09:52Winning against Australia after being at the receiving end
09:56for almost 5 years.
09:59Last beat Australia in 1995.
10:02Congratulations to Pakistan.
10:05Their first test win over Australia since 1995.
10:08It's been a long time. 15 years.
10:11They deserve it the way they bowled in this series.
