Trailing by 216 on first innings pak slim hopes were briefly raised by some exceptional peice of bowling by bowlers.
Afridi shrugged off an erratic display earlier in the match as he settled into a consistent line and length although his speed was only 130 kph.
But it was debutant quick fast bowler khurram who summoned extra spice from the surface with the wicket of warner and labuschange from short pitched deliveries.
After mading an aggressive 164 warner fell for a duck when he miscued a pull to midwicket fielder.
Today pak bowling were most impressive as they does not give any sort of chance to getting easy runs.
Khurram Shahzad
Khurram was most impressive bowler for pakistan with 2 for 5 in his fist eight overs.
He made very well use of the changing pitch conditions and he made difficult for batter to made even one runs in a over along side shaheen afridi.
Khurram shahzad who takes both wicket was the reward of brillian opening bowling partnership of bowler shaheen and khurram.
Shahzad also bowled very well in the first innings as he takes two most important wickets of steven smith and mitchell marsh.
Khurram completely justified his inclusion in the playing eleven instead of exprience hassan ali who was most exprience bowler in the side.
Nathon Lyon
Nathan lyon who is near to getting 500 wickets is know 1 away from this milestone he also bowled very well today.
He takes 3 important wicketss in the cause of match two of them were abdullah and imam who were top score from pakistan.
