Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Not since 1994 have Pakistan led Australia in a Test series. A telling 221-run victory in Dubai means that Misbah-ul-Haq's wonderfully resilient team are now a chance of breaking an identical 20-year drought between series wins over the same opponent.

Pakistan proved far more skilful, resourceful and focused than Australia, who missed Ryan Harris and Shane Watson rather more than Misbah's men suffered for the absence of Saeed Ajmal and Junaid Khan. The Australia lower order battled manfully but could not erase the sins of the top six, who apart from David Warner failed utterly in conditions that have become an all too familiar source of trouble.

Zulfiqar Babar and Yasir Shah were the fourth-innings architects of Pakistan's triumph, their expertise and subtlety providing a reminder that most spin bowlers are forged in first-class cricket and are invariably better for experience. By contrast, Michael Clarke's team have an array of problems to address, not least the increasing comfort with which Pakistan's batsmen played his bowling attack across the Test.

.:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: Well done Boys..
It was Younis & Sarfaraz in first that put Pakistan on front foot & then followed by Smart Bowling By Yasir Shah & Babar...followed by Younis & Shehzad in second innings that brings hope for win for Pakistan....In the end Yasir Shah & Babar stole the party..

Good luck Pakistan for the next test.
