All over. . It was the quicker one, skidding on rapidly towards the middle, moves past the attempted waft and nails him in front. . Pakistan won by 138 runs. Fine comprehensive win.

Hang on for quotes from the post-match ceremony
Man of the Match is Shahid Afridi : "The guys played very well. Guys like Khalid Latif, Kamran Akmal and Razzaq. YOunis gave me good confidence; he just told me to go and bat without any worries."
Vettori: It started well for us but we lost the momentum. Kamran and Razzaq played superbly. Afridi came in late and then Akmal turned the momentum. In batting, we couldn't get the impetus going; we couldn't get a partnership going. Now we have seen what the pitch is like, what is a good total on this track and what is gettable; hopefully we can get it right for the next two games."
Younis: It was a good effort from Khalid Latif, he hung in there and then the allrounders came and turned it. Afridi's innings was the turning point. He was fantastic. Then Kamran Akmal played a fantastic innings. (On his own form) It's not always possible to score runs, hopefully I will come back." Asked whether he is much more relaxed captain, Younis smiles big and says, "I am always relaxed!"
And that's it from us.

what a big big shout for lbw .. It was the googly and struck the pad on the leg and middle line. It would have just gone down leg side, though.
Afridi on a hattrick. Can he do it?
