Full commentary
Hussey pumps his fist as he runs across. Another not out for him. Australia go up 1-0 with a clinical run chase. Superb effort from White. Should be the Man of the Match, I'd say. Afridi's big hitting late in the Pakistan innings helped the tourists set Australia a target of 275 but they won with five wickets and nine deliveries in hand. White paced his innings beautifully, all Hussey had to do was knock the ball around and not lose his wicket. The fans lap up this win. Australia keep rolling.
That's all we have for you. Do join us for the second game which is on Sunday. Thanks for your company and we look forward to bringing you the coverage for the Sydney game. Bye for now!

Naved-ul-Hasan to Haddin, 3 runs
looks to drive this length ball down the ground but the lack of footwork draws a thick outside edge into the spaces behind backward point

Naved-ul-Hasan to Hussey, 3 runs
fuller ball and Hussey swings it across the line, timing it pretty well, not a perfectly played mow but he picks the gap at midwicket and gets three, giving the sweeper plenty of running to do

•
Naved-ul-Hasan to Hussey, no run
and straight he is, on middle and off and Hussey can only defend
Third man and fine leg are up ... have to be straight ...

1
Naved-ul-Hasan to Haddin, 1 run
pitched up, driven back on the volley, Naved sticks out his left hand to try and stop it but cannot prevent the single
Haddin is the new man. Naved bowled that one cleverly.

Naved-ul-Hasan to White, OUT
foxed by the slower ball! Well done, out the back of the hand, pitches on a length, White makes room and heaves across, misses, and the ball shatters into off and middle, off walks White for a splendid century, well played man
