Misbah, Sohail steady Pakistan after early wickets
March 20, 2015  10:09
 Pak 64-2 (15 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Sohail has a wild swing at a short ball from Johnson bowling from round the wicket but misses it by a long way. He is looking to hit Pakistan out of trouble but if he loses his wicket at this stage it would put his team under more pressure.

He sensibly tucks the next ball on the leg side for a single before Misbah defends one back to the bowler.

Part-time off-spinner Glenn Maxwell comes into the attack ahead of pace bowlers James Faulkner and Shane Watson.

Misbah certainly doesn't mind seem to mind the bowling change as he slog sweeps the last ball over midwicket for a six to make it nine runs from the over.

Misbah shuffles across and tuns Johnson square on the leg side to pick up a couple. Not many boundaries hit but Misbah and Sohail have helped Pakistan rally after the two early wickets with some intelligent rotation of strike and a few boundaries in between.

After 15 overs, Pakistan have recovered to 64 for two in with Misbah on 21 and Sohail on 20.
