Pakistan's players go through their routines as they prepare for the start of the second World Twenty20 semi-final in St Lucia - but rain delays the start by 30 minutes
Fans from both sides make themselves heard in the Beausejour Stadium as the atmosphere builds once the rain stops and the covers are removed from the middle
Unbeaten Australia win the toss and, aware that more rain could lead to a helpful Duckworth/Lewis score batting second, decide to put Pakistan into bat - with England awaiting the winners in Sunday's final
After a cautious start Kamran Akmal takes on the Australia bowlers and brings up his fifty off 32 balls as Pakistan reach 81-0 in the ninth over, but he departs next over without adding to his score
Kamran (left) wishes his younger brother good luck as Umar takes over in the middle
Butt moves to 32 when he slogs leg-spinner Steve Smith straight into the hands of David Warner and Pakistan will have to rebuild after falling to 89-2 after 11.1 overs
Captain Shahid Afridi only makes eight when he blasts spinner David Hussey high into the sky and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin takes the catch despite colliding with Shane Watson
Umar plays magnificently and surpasses his brother by smashing five sixes and reaching his fifty off 29 balls as Pakistan race to 169-4 in the 18th over
The 19-year-old Umar celebrates his half century before finishing the innings unbeaten on 56 as Pakistan close on 191-6 - the joint second-highest score of the tournament
The 18-year-old left-arm paceman Mohammad Aamer celebrates after dismissing the dangerous Warner with the second ball of Australia's reply - the catch taken by Umar Akmal
Two overs later and Pakistan are celebrating again after a pumped-up Aamer has Watson caught on the boundary - Australia are struggling to cope with the pressure
The pressure increases when spinner Abdur Rehman and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal combine to see off Haddin for 25 in the eighth over
Australia skipper Michael Clarke struggles to get going and is stumped by Kamran Akmal off rival captain Afridi for 17 and Australia are 62-4 after 8.2 overs
Cameron White replaces Clarke and he smashes five sixes in his 43 from 31 balls, sharing important stands with David and Mike Hussey, before he holes out in the 17th over with Australia 139-6
When young Steve Smith is stumped off the first ball of the 18th over, Australia still need to score 48 from 17 balls to reach the final
But Mike Hussey, nicknamed "Mr Cricket", refuses to be bowed in the face of defeat - and smashes fours and sixes to leave 18 needed from the last over, to be bowled by Saeed Ajmal
Johnson steers the first ball for a single - then Hussey smacks two sixes, a four and another six to win the game with an over to spare - Australia have reached the final and are jubilant
