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.
