38.5 to WTS Porterfield, this could just be his last game, but Afridi is doing his best to make sure he isn't. Porterfield looks to drive over mid-on but mistimes. The length ball just gets a little big on him, and lobs off the high part of the bat. Afridi rushes in from the edge of the circle and takes a low diving catch to his left. Porterifeld out for 107. His seventh score between 100 and 112. 182/5
40.3 to GC Wilson, bouncer, he looks to upper-cut it, Wilson is off his feet in trying to do so, still can't reach it, and gets a soft top edge on it. The third man boundary from this end is the longest part of Adelaide Oval. Wahab takes a confident catch. This could have been a wide had he not hit, but is only the second bouncer of the over so it can't be called a no-ball. 189/6

3.3 to PR Stirling, he has played across the line. What a big mistake. Loses patience. Given. He is on the middle-and-off line, Adil stays on that length and within the stumps, Stirling goes across the line, presenting only half the bat, and is beaten. Hit in front. Even if the ball goes on with the angle, it will clip leg. They think of it, but don't review the decision. 11/1

16.4 to NJ O'Brien, a wicket against the run of play. This ball has stopped at him. Short of a length, wide, he looks to punch but the ball doesn't quite come on. So instead of going square, he ends up hitting this to short cover where Umar Akmal takes a smart catch to his right. 86/3
43.5 to SR Thompson, good bowling. Pakistan are bowling to bowl Ireland out and not restrict them. This is a mean bouncer, cramping him and getting it chin high. Thompson looks to pull but ends up slicing it off the top edge to short cover. 204/7

12.3 to EC Joyce, Wahab produces the breakthrough for Pakistan. He just has the knack. Joyce looks to pull from outside off, the ball gets a touch big on him, and he is late into the shot. The top edge lobs up towards short square cover, and Umar Akmal doesn't drop it. Wahab's deceptive pace does it. 56/2
47.1 to KJ O'Brien, that drop doesn't cost Adil at all. He will be very relieved. A proper mean bouncer at 147ks from Wahab. And it has followed him as he backs away. No room to hook. Gets a top edge to midwicket. 216/8
49.2 to JF Mooney, Wahab has another wicket. Umar Akmal gets his fourth catch. On a length, Mooney finally gets one that he can get under and hit. He hits but doesn't quite get the elevation. Akmal pouches it at short midwicket. This is bowled at 150ks. 230/9

29.4 to A Balbirnie, oh what a soft dismissal, and against the run of play. That misfield has proved to be a work for genius. Balbirnie stays on strike thanks to that misfield and plays this poor sweep. He hasn't really gone down on this length ball outside off, gets a massive top edge that Afridi takes at short fine leg. He also has to fetch this from well outside off. Premeditated. 134/4

38.2 to Misbah-ul-Haq, bowled'im. Some consolation for Ireland. Looks to run this shortish ball to third man, but his bat is neither vertical nor horizontal. The back foot goes back and across, too close to the stumps, and he treats onto the base of the stumps. 208/3

22.4 to Ahmed Shehzad, and Shehzad has thrown it away. Seems like he has made his mind beforehand that this ball has to go. Thompson bowls short, he pulls from outside off, gets a top edge, and mid-on catches it. He is disappointed that he has not gone on to score a hundred, and so he should be. 120/1
