Partnership of over 50 Runs
Partnership of 62* runs between Zain Awan and Nitesh Hemlani. They are looking good to post a good score. Zain Awan like a good batsman is facing as much balls as he could and Nitesh like a good lower order batsman is looking to defend and only stroking loose balls.

All Stars 329/6 lead Australia by 261 runs

Zain Awan 167(191) 4s=18
Nitesh Hemlani 29(43) 4s=5

B.Hodge 2/48 of 10 overs
S.Warne 2/54 of 11 overs
B.Lee 1/110 of 22 overs

Australia raps up the innings
B.Lee and G.McGrath picked up one each and two batsmans were runout. All stars scored 374 runs in there second innings thanks to the centuries from Zain Awan and No_remorse28 and 50 from Nitesh Hemlani. Now Australia require 307 runs to win and they have got 3 whole days.

First to go was Zain Awan who tried a mistimed a lofted shot on the bowling of B.Lee and McGrath took a simple catch at mid off. Zain scored 170 runs in his innings which includes 18 fours.

Next to go was Manraj Bahra who scored only 4 runs before edging one to Hayden from McGrath.

Cricket60 after scoring quick 12 runs was runout. It was a very close decision. And 3rd umpire ruled him out.

Last to go was Nitesh Hemalani who scored 55 runs of 69 balls. He batted really well out there in pressure when wickets were falling around him and in the way helped his team getting a lead of above 300 runs. He was also runout. A real mishap in the middle. He was miles away from his crease when McGrath took the bails off.

Session end with no further loss
Last session of Day 2 have ended with no further loss for Australia. They are now at 18/1 still requiring 289 runs to win. As there are still 3 days in the match so possibility of draw is ruled out. I think All Stars have upper hand at the moment. If they can get couple of quick wickets in the morning. So lets see what happens tomorrow.

Martyn was undone by shear pace of Shezad Awan. He was even not able to get his bat down in time for the ball.

This is a chance for All Stars to get a win from here if they can capitalize on this early advantage.

All Stars WON
All Stars won by margin of 220 runs. It looks amazing that at one stage 103 all out and then won the match by a margin of 220 runs. It was a team effort.

No one from Australia stayed at the wicket for long time and wickets kept falling regularly. All bowlers were wicket taker.

Gilchrist was gone taking a quick single
