Australia thrash Pakistan by 160 runs in the first test at lords. The Australians after scoring very little in the first innings bowled exceedingly well to restrict the Pakistanis and get a 100 run lead. The second innings also headed the same way but the partnership between debutant wicket keeper Tim Paine and Ben Hilfenhaus just took the game away from the Pakistan team. Hilfenhaus scored a very handy half century coming in at 10. Pakistan were set a target of 440 which looked impossible given the conditions and the bowling Australia had. They struggled throughout the chase and finally lost the match by a huge margin. The only positive for Pakistan was Salman Butt’s 50 and 94 in the match.
