Khurram Shahzad to David Warner, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Khurram Shahzad draws first blood for Pakistan! An early blow for Australia as the centurion from the first innings departs! Khurram Shahzad bangs it into the deck and directs a quick bumper, at the batter, David Warner gets taken aback as the ball shoots off the deck steeply which puts him in a tangle. He gets cramped for room but still goes for the pull and ends up lobbing it towards mid-wicket. Imam-ul-Haq there, does not look settled when the ball was in the air but does get under it to reverse cup it.
