Pakistan made 45 in 11 overs before play was called off. Opener Khalid Latif retired hurt after scoring 21, leaving Khurram Manzoor and Yasir Hameed to see off the remaining overs.

Faisal Iqbal top scored for Pakistan with 74 and Doug Bollinger, the New South Wales left-arm fast bowler, took 5 for 15 to give his side a first-innings lead of 39 runs.
