Once again a Pakistan batsmen gave away his wicket after being well set. This time the culprit was Younis Khan who played a poor lofted cover drive and ended up giving catch practise to Bracken in covers area. Younis goes after making 23 and Lee got his second wicket of the maatch. Pakistan is 167/4 and Razzaq walks in next.

Yahoo! Great job Brett Lee! Aussies are back, and arguabally on top now!

Another big blow to Pakistan and Australia is now in full control of the match. Razzaq who came on the crease to replace Younis went for a very expensive on drive off Hogg which he failed to keep it down and Ponting gladly accepted an eas catch. Razzaq goes without troubling the scorers and Pakistan in huge trouble with 168/5 in 32 overs. Two wickets in consecutive overs have suddenly shifted the gears of the match. T Umar is the crucial batsmen now and he is accompanied by S Malik on other end.

Pakistan still have a chance with Taufeeq Umar playing superbly on one end on 83 not out. Although the run rate has now jumped to 7 an over but couple of good overs will be enough to bring it under 6. So match is really well balanced with Pakistan 180/5 in 36 overs.

Umar is the key now. It still very possible for Pak to win this one.

[ashu2411]

Now the most important wicket goes and match is almost finished. Umar who played brilliantly for his 92 under a constant increasing run rate pressure tried to hit Hogg over the mid-on but Lee took a good catch to end his brillian knock. Hogg got his second wicket of the match and umar missed a well deserved century. Pakistan is now 194/6 in 37 overs and they still need 84 runs to win with S Malik and K Akmal on crease.
