7.05 pm Not too long for you guys to catch your breaths because the second game is coming at you in a few minutes. Thank you for your company here, This is Alagappan Muthu, wishing long live T20.

"The only thing I could tell my bowlers when Maxwell was batting was just go there and keep attacking and the spinners, like Zulfiqar Babar did really well," says Mohammad Hafeez. "Umar Akmal showed his talent today. He held his nerve very well. He attacked and that's what we wanted our boys to do"

George Bailey says "The start we had, 40 for 2, I'd have taken that. You just try and play your best bowlers and Pakistan's spinners bowled very very well and also Umar Gul in the death. Batting and bowling go either way, but fielding was in our hands and we've set high standards and we didn't do well today"

Umar Akmal is the Man of the Match He wants to thank his management because they gave him a free hand to play as positive as he could. He says they've trusted me to play at No.4 and he says it is his preferred position would like to continue building more innings.

Kushal Joshi: "That was a quintessential choke from Australia. First 10 overs 117/2, last 10 58/8. "

7.00 pm Hugs all around for Pakistan. They had the game for the first 20 overs, lost it in the middle when Glenn Maxwell was going beserk, but their bowlers would not give up. Saeed Ajmal laid his St Lucia demons to rest with a wicket and a terrific catch on the boundary and helped Pakistan over the line. Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi produced telling overs in the death and ensured Umar Akmal's belligerent 94 was not in vain. Do join Martin Crowe and Daryll Cullinan on Match Point which has already gone live

Rana: "BILAWAL BHATTI; the one who disappointed in the start saves pak in the end"

19 off 3. Four men on the leg side boundary

Looks like Bhatti for the last over. He was massacred for 30 in his last over. Long-off, Long-on in place

Hafeez and Gul in deep conversation about the field

NF: "Reminds me of Tortoise-Hare story!"

Mitchell Starc eyes the field

Zahir: "Comeback - courtesy Hafeez captaincy.. Fantastic bowling changes!" Perhaps, but it's more the bowler's keeping to a full length

Rohan: "Pretty poor skills from Australia on display here, rather than try and hit Ajmal straight they keep trying square" That's the plan they seemed to have devised. Maxi did that to great effect

30 off 12 and Gul to bowl the penultimate over

CM: "Missing Faulkner!! :( "

puneet: "wow a spinner bowling 106 km/hr!!!" Afridi bowled 126 kph

Nathan Coulter-Nile walks out after three wickets have fallen in the last three overs

Australia need 31 off 18. Here's Ajmal to make that equation even tougher

Prasanga: "There is one over left for Mohammad Hafeez or Bilawal Bhatti. Who will bowl that over? Will Hafeez will go for Shoaib Malik? Match will decide how many runs Aussie going to score in that over."
