| Pakistan innings (50 overs maximum) | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
 | Mohammad Hafeez | b Bishoo | 121 | 179 | 138 | 7 | 3 | 87.68 |
| 45.1 Bishoo has got the big wicket. Bowled full and straight, near yorker length on leg stump, Hafeez looks to make room to guide it into the off side. Turns out he makes too much room and misses it. Bowled 219/5 |
| Ahmed Shehzad | c DJ Bravo b Roach | 6 | 10 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 54.54 |
| 4.3 What a catch from Bravo (thank goodness at least he is not down in India). Running behind, watching it over his shoulder, and then diving full length. The response to the driven four is natural: a short delivery. Shehzad gets a chunky top edge, which seems to be flying over square leg. Bravo runs backwards, keeps his eye on the ball, and then dives at the last instance, getting both hands to it. First wicket of the series for Roach 15/1 |
| Asad Shafiq | c Simmons b DJ Bravo | 71 | 130 | 102 | 4 | 0 | 69.60 |
| 38.2 And it is the midwicket's coming in that seems to have triggered this wicket. Shafiq seemed to be going over midwicket, but ends up hitting this length delivery just to the right of long-on, who moves well to complete a simple catch 168/2 |
| Shahid Afridi* | c Rampaul b Roach | 8 | 11 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 80.00 |
| 40.4 Powerplay strikes, Afridi is gone. Good short ball, around his face, Afridi tries to pull of the front foot, ends up hitting it limply to mid-off. Clearly late into the shot 182/3 |
| Misbah-ul-Haq | b Bishoo | 5 | 16 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 71.42 |
| 43.5 this is not quite the classical Misbah dismissal, but is half way there. It is bowled flat, well down the leg side, and would have been wide had Misbah stood his ground. However, Misbah is making room, only to miss it, and let his pads ricochet it onto the stumps 210/4 |
| Hammad Azam | c Roach b Bishoo | 1 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 16.66 |
| 45.4 Doesn't matter. Bishoo gets the wicket next ball. Leg break that pitches outside leg, Azam looks for the paddle sweep, doesn't go down on it properly, and ends up lobbing it to short fine 220/6 |
| Usman Salahuddin | run out (Simmons/Roach/†Baugh) | 5 | 14 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 62.50 |
| 48.4 Roach to Tanvir Ahmed, Pakistan have more silly stuff in store here. Quicker bouncer, pulled away wide of deep square, Salahuddin wants to bring back the big hitter on strike, and comes back for the comfortable second. Tanvir, though, never leaves the non-striker's end. Roach lobs the throw back to the keeper, and Salahuddin is gone 236/8 |
| Mohammad Salman† | run out (Edwards) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 46.1 Rampaul to Usman Salahuddin, Pakistan are crumbling here. Rampaul bowls the slower ball, pushed straight to straightish extra cover, but Salman somehow thinks they should take the single. Salahuddin doesn't budge. Edwards could have smoked a cigarette before taking the bails off at the non-striker's end, Salman was that far away. Classical bullying of the debutant as Salman gives Salahuddin the dirty look when he was himself at fault 220/7 |
| Tanvir Ahmed | b DJ Bravo | 18 | 12 | 12 | 1 | 2 | 150.00 |
| 49.3 this one is even slower, taking ages to come until Tanvir can wait no longer and swings at it, only managing a bottom edge into the stumps. Could be a crucial cameo, though, 18 off 12 244/9 |
| Saeed Ajmal | not out | 5 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 125.00 |
| |
| Junaid Khan | not out | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100.00 |
| |
| Extras | (lb 1, w 5, nb 1) | 7 | | | | | |
|  | | | | | |
| Total | (9 wickets; 50 overs) | 248 | (4.96 runs per over) |
