Pakistan 339/6 (50.0 ov)
With those final blows, Pakistan have been able to prop their total to an imposing 339 for 6, which one suspects is more than enough against this UAE batting line-up. It was an important match for most of Pakistan's top and middle order as they all got some valuable time in the middle. After losing Nasir Jamshed early on, Haris Sohail and Ahmed Shehzad rallied well to deliver a 160-run stand, before some late hitting by the likes of Maqsood, Misbah and Afridi, ensured they saw their team to a powerful total. UAE did let themselves down in the field, giving some lives to a few of the Pakistani batsmen. They will need to bat out of their skins against a decent bowling attack to see this through. We have a live showing of Match Point on your main homepage, so don't forget to check that out. We will be back shortly for the second innings!
