Misbah, Sohail rally Pakistan after horror start
March 20, 2015  10:29
 Pak 83-2 (20 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Misbah is keen not to let Maxwell continue with his part-time off-spinners. Following two singles from his first five deliveries, Misbah lofts him over midwicket for a six to take his score to 29 while also raising the 50-run partnership for the third wicket.

Maxwell has gone for 18 in three overs with two sixes hit by Misbah. Will Clarke continue with him or bring on a medium pacer from his end?

Meanwhile, a bowling change from the other end as Shane Watson comes in to replace Johnson, who bowled five overs for 19 runs.

He makes a tidy start conceding just four runs in his first over. Sohail had a close shave in that over as he attempted a wild swing over the leg side but got a thick outside edge which fell short of the fielder on the thirdman fence.

A double  bowling change as James Faulkner, the third left-arm pace for Australia today, comes in for Maxwell.

Just two runs from his first over as Pakistan reach 83 for two in 20 overs with Misbah on 32 from 48 balls and Sohail on 28 from 43 balls.
