- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 Fakhar bites the dust! Well this time Roy holds on to it! It was a floated delivery outside off from Moeen Ali. Fakhar had to extend his arms and toe-ends the ball, drags it flat and hard to the long on fielder, who makes no mistake. , 134/23.3 Bulls-eye from Warner! Arm ball on a length and pushes with soft hands to the mid-off fielder, setting off for a quick single. Warner runs to his right side and gathers the ball, has a shy at the stumps and hits the target. Farooq is well short of his crease, as he was clearly struggling there, running between the wickets. 24/116.5 Bowled him with a peach! Yorker ball darted on the stumps line, shapes back in. Shafique shuffles across and plays the lap scoop, gets nowhere near the line of the ball, and crashes onto the base of the stumps. What an unplayable delivery! 160/415.3 Moeen strikes again! Slower through the air ball on middle-leg, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, miscues the stroke and skies it high towards square leg. Azam Khan rushes and covers his ground, dives in fully stretched and completes the catch. 148/318.5 short-pitched ball pulled away behind square, but it caught the toe-end of the bat and trickled toward deep backward point. They called for a risky second and went for it, but it looks incredibly close! Sams dived desperately and while his bat was across the line, it appeared to slide and lift into the air. Despite getting the bat inside the crease, he failed to keep it grounded as he dived, and now he has to depart. 183/519.6 Picks out Moeen at deep square leg! Banged in short pitched ball and plays the swivel pull stroke, doesn't connect it cleanly and hits it flat towards the on-side sweeper fielder 199/6Extras10 (b 1, lb 1, w 8)TOTAL199/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Mohammad Farooq, 3.3 ov), 2-134 (Fakhar Zaman, 13.5 ov), 3-148 (Charith Asalanka, 15.3 ov), 4-160 (Abdullah Shafique, 16.5 ov), 5-183 (Daniel Sams, 18.5 ov), 6-199 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Ubaid Shah has the last laugh! A bouncer that generated extra lift off the pitch, getting big on the batter as he attempted the pull. He played the shot late and let out a shout of "Oiii!" after nicking the ball onto his helmet; the ball then ricocheted off the grill, and the keeper safely completed the catch behind the stumps. 10/14.3 Soft dismissal! Short ball does the trick again! Bouncer ball wide outside off, pace off delivery and Hendricks attempts to slice it over point, connects the sticker part of the bat and chips a regulation catch to the short cover fielder. 39/28.3 Rauf strikes and gets rid of Salman! Short pitched delivery attacking the stumps at shoulder height. Salman was a bit late on the pull shot, which caught the outer half of the bat, and he immediately turned to walk toward the dugout. The ring fielder at cover settled under it to complete a simple catch. 69/313.5 Pace off does the trick and Ubaid finds the breakthrough! Bowls it slower through the air on middle-leg and Moeen plays the flick shot, connects it half-heartedly as he gets deceived by the change of pace, lofts a regulation catch to Raza at long on. 127/415.3 Rattled the stumps! Length ball darted in on middle and leg, off-cutter delivery from around the wicket, and the batter went for a big heave across the line way too early. He missed the length entirely, backing away and exposing his stumps in the process, only to see the ball crash into the top of the leg stump. Sams celebrates with a leap into the air; a massive wicket! 146/5Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL203/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 10.87)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Jason Roy, 1.3 ov), 2-39 (Reeza Hendricks, 4.3 ov), 3-69 (Salman Agha, 8.3 ov), 4-127 (Moeen Ali, 13.5 ov), 5-146 (Azam Khan, 15.3 ov)
