Pakistan innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Salman Butt	c Raina b Chawla	35	107	64	4	0	54.68
21.4 A long hop gets a wicket. Butt could have hit it anywhere, he went for the pull shot but hit it straight to Raina at midwicket. 90/1
Shoaib Malik*	retired hurt	125	185	119	16	1	105.04
39.6 from Singh, length delivery well outside off stump, Malik tried to thrash it over the bowler's head but edges it to third man 219/1
Younis Khan	c Raina b Pathan	59	81	60	5	0	98.33
40.6 No one drops this time and Younis falls after an impressive entertaining knock. He went down on his knee to play the slog sweep - the shot that got him so many runs in the kitply final- but edges it high towards mid-off but Raina ran across from the straightish midwicket position to take a good catch. 223/2
Mohammad Yousuf	run out (Singh/Kumar)	30	26	20	5	0	150.00
45.3 from Kumar, Yousuf's cameo ends. Run out. Yousuf paddles a full delivery outside off to RP at short fine leg, the throw comes in to Praveen who takes it well in front of the stumps, turns around and lunges to break the stumps. 261/3
Misbah-ul-Haq	not out	31	46	26	3	0	119.23

Shahid Afridi	c †Dhoni b Singh	9	17	8	0	0	112.50

G Gambhir	c Misbah-ul-Haq b Iftikhar Anjum	9	19	12	2	0	75.00
2.3 Wow! What a stunner from Misbah at backward point. Supremely athletic effort from the acting captain. Gambhir had flashed a short-of-length delivery to left of Misbah who flew, his left-arm outstretched and plucked it like a mythical creature. A Youtube moment. 12/1
V Sehwag	c Younis Khan b Shahid Afridi	119	150	95	12	5	125.26
30.4 holes out to long-off. He came down the track and ended up slicing it high and Younis got under it, lunged forward to take the catch. But what a smashing knock this has been. Started off carefully, got his eye in before exploding merrily 231/3
SK Raina	c Fawad Alam b Iftikhar Anjum	84	110	69	10	3	121.73
27.1 Raina misses out on the hundred. He punches a back-of-length delivery straight to Fawad Alam at extra cover. But it has been an wonderful innings. Great timing. 210/2
Yuvraj Singh	c Salman Butt b Sohail Tanvir	48	54	47	1	3	102.12
41.4 holes out to deep midwicket. He wanted to finish it off in style but has perished. He moved outside leg, Tanvir banged it short and Yuvraj topedged his pull to Butt. Out for 48. 294/4
