again he moves outside leg stump, Price sends in a full toss which is flat-batted over long-off. A white wash. This is the fourth time Pakistan have swept a five-match series.

Players from both teams are out on the field, shaking hands and having a chat. Price meets up with Khurram Manzoor - he had a few words with him in the heat of the battle- and Price taps the youngster's back, says something and both laugh. Great to see.
Hang on for the post-match presentation.
Man of the Match: Younis Khan: "I just wanted to be aggressive today and entertain the crowd. I am looking forward to the Australia series ... we have two or three fast bowlers and a few openers too. The future looks good. It was great to see the crowd turn out, it was great fun."
Masakadza: "In retrospect, may be we should have bowled first today. We have lots to work on in all the three departments of the game. And he says to the crowd, Shukriya Pakistan " (Thanks Pakistan!)
Man of the series: Shoaib Malik : "It has been a great series as we have learned a lot. Especially, our youngsters. We have to improve on our fielding and running between the wickets. Its good for us that the youngsters have performed. Against Australia, we should be getting our seniors back and it's nice to have a good combination. Thanks to the Sheikapura crowd."
And thanks to you gentlemen and ladies for logging on to Cricinfo. This is Sriram Veera, your commentator for the day, saying Alvida. Good night and shab bakhair!
