- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Top-edge and the catch is taken comfortably. Back of a length ball hip-high into his body. He looks for a pull, is a touch late into his shot and the ball catches the top edge to balloon straight up. Square leg settles under and there goes Pakistan's first wicket. 25/19.5 And the pressure has gotten the best of Shahzaib. He falls for a 30-ball 4! That man Vidler again, making things happen. Was a fuller-length ball well outside off. Shahzaib expecting the short ball is leg side, and throws his hands at the ball only to slice to backward point. 27/240.2 Edged and Straker has his third. Superb bowling from the youngster. Back of a length ball outside off, he stays leg side of the ball again, and looks to just glide it down to deep third. Gets a thick edge that is snapped up easily. The third umpire is checking for a no-ball. Ooh, he is close, but I think he has something behind the line. 133/614.2 Edged, caught at first slip. This was coming you have to say and Baig is a goner. Fuller in length just outside off. Baig is pegged on the backfoot in anticipation of the short ball. The front foot goes nowhere as he meekly pushes at it. The outside edge is snapped up easily by Dixon. 43/318.3 right in front! Overpitched ball on middle. Too full to sweep, and Hassan is LBW! Slightly quicker, plus the different length ... and that makes all difference. Pakistan in trouble here. 53/427.6 the bowling change has worked! And Beardman with a Lillee-esque roar upon dismissal. Test-match length around off and the ball just scrambles through on its way to Haroon. He can't get bat on ball, pinned on his crease, and the delivery sneaks through him to knock off stump back. Quick ball too! 79/544.5 Oh, stunning catch by deep cover and Minhas' sprightly knock is done. Floated outside off, he goes aerial but doesn't really find the gap. Peake hares across to his left, keeps his eye on the ball and takes super catch. Big, big wicket for Australia 164/746.4 Extra cover has snapped up a dolly and Straker has his fourth. On a length on and around off stump. He looks to straight down, loses his shape and ends up ballooning it straight up. Dixon does the rest. 173/848.4 Five-wicket haul for Straker! Goes full and straight. Zeeshan backs away looking to slam it across the line. He misses, Straker doesn't and the leg stump has taken a beating. Excellent bowling from quick 179/948.5 Six-for for Straker! What bowling from the lad. He goes full and straight once more. Raza backs away looking to go across the line. Misses and his leg stump has been uprooted. Straker's 6 for 24, the best bowling figures in the semi-final or final of this tournament 179/10Extras20 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL179 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 3.66)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Shamyl Hussain, 8.2 ov), 2-27 (Shahzaib Khan, 9.5 ov), 3-43 (Saad Baig, 14.2 ov), 4-53 (Ahmad Hassan, 18.3 ov), 5-79 (Haroon Arshad, 27.6 ov), 6-133 (Azan Awais, 40.2 ov), 7-164 (Arafat Minhas, 44.5 ov), 8-173 (Ubaid Shah, 46.4 ov), 9-179 (Mohammad Zeeshan, 48.4 ov), 10-179 (Ali Raza, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR26.3 good length ball outside off. Turning in. Dixon tries to cut off the back foot but its way too close to his body. Loses his off stump, and it is the set batter who is gone! Left-arm spin has worked and time for a new batter to find his feet 102/510.1 timberrrrrrrrr! Full ball just outside off but the ball swings in sharply and goes between the gap offered by Konstas. Nips back in and bursts through the space between bat and body. 33/113.5 overpitched ball ends up as a low full toss but Khan gets a gift because Weibgen slashes a shot straight to cover! Pakistan get lucky as this toe-ended shot is pouched by Haroon 43/215.6 confusion... and Harjas is run out much to his family's despair in the crowd! Full ball on middle. It was driven to cover's left and Dixon took off for the single. Harjas, though, was ball watching and does not leave the crease. When he does start sprinting, it is too late, and he is run out at the keeper's end rather easily. 54/316.3 chopped on! And that's a golden duck for Hicks! Good length ball outside off. Hicks pokes at it away from his body, and the ball sticks in the surface a tad bit too. Inside edge, stumps rattled, and Pakistan are on top now you'd have to say! 59/441.5 Length down leg. Has he got a tickle on that? The umpire says yes, but Peake is unconvinced. Big, big moment in the game. Was a nonchalant length delivery down leg and Peake has to go 155/738.4 Another twist in the tale? That is really special bowling from Minhas. Arm ball that slides quickly on off. Campbell stays back and is beaten for pace as the ball breaches through his defences and clatters into off pole. Campbell is dejected, but this could potentially be a big moment in the game 146/645.3 Edged and there goes the eighth wicket. Rising back of a length ball outside off. Straker sees the width and looks to flay it away. But the extra bounce gets him. A thick edge flies to the keeper, who ain't dropping those. Ali Raza, you superstar. 164/845.6 Ali Raza gets his fourth and surely now there is an India-Pakistan final loading, you'd think. Was the most perfect delivery for a fast bowler. On a length on off, Beardman plays down the wrong line and the ball trims the off bail. Bedlam in Benoni. 164/9Extras10 (b 1, lb 2, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL181/9 (49.1 Overs, RR: 3.68)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Sam Konstas, 10.1 ov), 2-43 (Hugh Weibgen, 13.5 ov), 3-54 (Harjas Singh, 15.6 ov), 4-59 (Ryan Hicks, 16.3 ov), 5-102 (Harry Dixon, 26.3 ov), 6-146 (Tom Campbell, 38.4 ov), 7-155 (Oliver Peake, 41.5 ov), 8-164 (Tom Straker, 45.3 ov), 9-164 (Mahli Beardman, 45.6 ov)
