Cummins to Umar Akmal, 1 run, Pakistan win, they take the serie 2-0, Akmal dabs the final ball of an exhausting match to cover and sneaks the single that seals the win, there was a chance of a run-out there, Akmal could have been short, but Dan Christian, him of the heroic fielding, doesn't collect the ball cleanly before breaking the stumps, Akmal sets off on a fist-pumping celebration, Cummins is distraught, Bailey consoles some of his team-mates, the crowd is drained after a rollercoaster of a match.

Whoah, can't ask for more from a T20. Belal bin Suleman: "I love you Cricket... Muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah." And Rob Noah: "This is the best T20 game I've ever read."

Got to feel for young Pat Cummins, must have thought he has sealed the game with that mammoth six off the penultimate ball, but he couldn't pull it off off the next ball, and he was just short in the SuperOver as well. As Irteza says: "Poor Pat! I am feeling for him. He is such a fine fast bowler."

Cricket-India: "why MUST a tied T20 have a super-over decider? isn't a tie the deserving result for two equally matched and equally determined teams??" I'm no fan of Superovers either. Surely the match is exciting enough when the scores are tied.

Maryam Siddiqui: "Amazing. Just truly amazing. Hands have semi stopped shaking but heart is still racing. Really must be the most intense match I've seen since Razzaq's century off of 72 deliveries against South Africa a couple years back. Thank you Pakistan, Thank you Australia."

Not that the T20 rankings are to be taken seriously, but Australia have now slid to 10th place.

Time for the post-match presentation.

Man of the Match is Saeed Ajmal. "I had an injury to my shoulder, that's why they gave the Superover to Gul."

George Bailey: "Good game of cricket, we had our chances today. Our bowling was good, nice to see our batsmen hit a few out of the middle. We will be ready to go for game three."

Mohammad Hafeez: "This is T20, it can bring anything. The boys responded well under pressure. The batters put on the score, 140-plus which is needed here, then Saeed Ajmal and Umar Gul bowled really well."


And that's a wrap from this extraordinary game. Thanks for the many, many mails. Seeya on Monday for game three.

Cummins to Umar Akmal, 1 wide, too short from Cummins, he went for the bouncer but that sails over the batsman's head, scores are level now, Pakistan 11/0

Cummins to Abdul Razzaq, 1 run, Cummins doesn't go for the blockhole, back of a length ball is scooped towards David Hussey at mid-off, he dives forward but can't only collect off the half-volley, Pak 10/0. Target is 12

Cummins to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR, Pakistan need three off two now as Razzaq calmly slaps a short ball outside off to the deep backward point boundary, Pakistan 9/0, the crowd loving it, can Cummins find the yorker?

Cummins to Umar Akmal, 1 run, Cummins keeps it short, outside off, Akmal was looking to work that over the keeper, he doesn't connect well and they take the single to the keeper. Over to Razzaq

Cummins to Umar Akmal, FOUR, it was short from Cummins, just outside off, that is hammered back past the bowler for four, Pakistan 4/0

Umar Gul to Bailey, 2 runs, a low full toss heading for leg stump, once again some sharp fielding from Pakistan, only two off the final ball, Aus finish on 11, that is a pretty good effort from Gul

Umar Gul to Warner, OUT, a short ball from Gul and that is top-edged towards long-off, so a priceless dot ball for Pakistan, Aus 9/0

Umar Gul to Warner, 1 wide, Gul had been spot on so far, but that is wide down the leg side, free run for Australia, if Warner had got some bat on that could have been hit for four, Aus 9/0

Umar Gul to Warner, FOUR, Warner looks to throw Gul off his length by shimmying down the track, gets a bit of bat and he glances that full on down to fine leg, Aus 8/0

Umar Gul to Watson, 1 run, Gul keeps it full, Watson can't get under that one, punched towards mid-on, Aus 4/0 after three balls

Umar Gul to Watson, 2 runs, a low full toss, whipped away towards deep midwicket where it is that man again, Yasir Arafat, keeps Australia to two

Abdul Razzaq to Cummins, SIX, oh my! he is nerveless with the bat here as well, a massive hit , a short of length ball heading down leg stump, that is a monster hit from Cukmmins that sends it over the wide long-on boundary, the scores are level, Australia coach Mickey Arthur loves that shot

Abdul Razzaq to Christian, 1 run, short ball heading for the helmet, Christian can only get a single as he pulls it towards midwicket, that put plenty on pressure on young Cummins, who was nerveless on Test debut with the bat

Abdul Razzaq to Cummins, 1 run, a slower full ball on middle and leg, once again it is Arafat who fields after Cummins sweeps to deep square leg

Abdul Razzaq to Christian, 1 run, a full toss is whipped towards midwivcket for a single
