2.15 pm Shaheen and Naseem share the spoils with four wickets apiece but Naseem was hands down the standout bowler for Pakistan in this innings, not just by the stats but by the eye test too. Constantly testing Australia's order from start to finish. Tea has been taken with the innings ending within a half hour of the originally scheduled interval. That's a 10-8 round to Pakistan for sure, ending play early with a knockdown taking five wickets in very quick time. The Pakistan reply starts in 20 minutes when Andrew McGlashan will be back in the central commentary position. Stay with us!
Izaz: "Fellow pacer outshining Shaheen is surely a rare sight. Haven't seen many achieve this in a year or two."
MJ Swepson b Shaheen Shah Afridi 9 (14m 7b 2x4 0x6) SR: 128.57
Shaheen comes around the wicket now.
Max Power: "@Kew, it's actually the cream, the bone, the off-white, the white, the ivory or the beige." Do we need to find Wendy to settle this? Wendy? Wendyyyyyyyyy????

Kew: "@Jared please don't butcher Billy's great work. It's either the cream, the white, the off-white, the ivory or the beige." Meanwhile, I have a very important article to read when my next commentary stint is done.
