  • Richard Ngarava4-0-34-1

Mirza: "Getting flashbacks to Prime RizBar era type innings build up. Keep wickets in hand to go bonkers in the last 5 "

waqas: "That ball boy's effort should be appreciated."

Ahmad: "The idea of sending Fakhar down the order isn't bad, he's a seasoned hard-hitter who can also anchor if there's a collapse. But he shouldn't be pushed as low as No. 7"

Ahmad Waqas: "So Fakhar to rescue.... Once MORE!!" And in a new spot, which some aren't happy about

7:35pm Average score on this ground is around 150, Pommie Mbangwa says. This is well above par, thanks mainly to Babar's fifty and Fakhar's cameo. Farhan was good too. Very few dot balls today on a slow pitch with a bit of variable bounce. The best bowler of the innings was Raza. Maposa was good early on. Evans bowled well but got taken down late. Ngarava bowled a lot of dots. A job well done but not closed out from Zimbabwe. We'll be back after a break.

Jamil: "Fakhar THE FINISHER"

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, 1 no ball, Fakhar falls on the last ball... it's a no-ball though! Raza can't believe it. The groundstaff were coming out, as was a jeep/vehicle which had to reverse. Was a shortish slow ball that was pulled straight to long-on

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, no run, Shortish slow ball finds the edge. The cut goes back onto the pad. Stays closeby. Zaman wanted to cut that hard and square

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, Slot ball... another six, another ball-boy catch! Was at leg stump, whipped hard over square leg. Fielder went over the ropes without making contact, ball boy slid across to take it

Hassan: "They are wasting Fakhar's talent by sending him late" Not bad so far

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, Yorker on middle, yet it's hit to the square-leg boundary! Fakhar stood on middle and off. Squatted low and then sprung up while whipping it late. Peak placement
19.2

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, Slower one is hit for a massive flat six. Sat up outside off from a back of length, straightened a touch but still in reach. Pulled over deep midwicket to rev up the crowd

Mid-off pushed back, fine leg in

Evans to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, Fakhar whips the low fully hard and flat towards midwicket. On the bounce it's stopped. Good fielding again

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, Slow and short just outside off, edged cut goes to deep third

Ahmed: "It's been a good wicket to bat on so far .. if I'm brian bennett id be licking my lips right now and ekanth, you best believe I'm doing backflips as I'm typing this post.. blows my mind salman walks in to bat ahead of fakhar with hardly any bowls left to bat! "

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, Maks room, gets followed. Raza charges to the left and almost takes a catch for the ages! Was sliding to the left while trying to take it with both hands. Ball hit one palm and deflected to the left. He's not happy but that was a heck of a try. Was a low fully that was flicked flat

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, no run, Backs away and cuts... misses. Shortish ball going away with the angle.

Ngarava to Mohammad Nawaz, OUT, Slot ball, smacked... but straight to deep midwicket. Longer boundary there. Shot was on again. At the stumps, Nawaz stood still and whipped it flat. Ngarava says that was just a little distance away from clearing him. Works out in the end

Sikandar Raza to Mohammad Nawaz, 1 run, Fullish on off, defended through cover point

Zeeshan : "Should have sent Usman, or even fakhar in at 2 down. With the t20i WC around the corner, need to test the squad strength. Nawaz is already a fit!"

Agha on to bat, someone's lost a challenge in the comments

Sikandar Raza to Babar Azam, OUT, Slogged... and is that out or six? Out it looks like. Raza spreads his arms and looks up like a movie hero. Evans took a sharp catch and kicked it on the bounce. Was a length ball that was slogged across the line. Good shot, just couldn't clear deep midwicket. Evans ran to the right, got close to the ropes, and held on nicely with spacial awareness

Babar Azam c Evans b Sikandar Raza 74 (66m 52b 7x4 2x6) SR: 142.3

Salmanbutt: ""Babar 55 to 80 someone told" !!!"

Sikandar Raza to Babar Azam, 2 runs, Nearly bowled! Goes wide of leg stump and fine of short fine leg. Was a length ball on off that he tried to mow over wide long-o

Sikandar Raza to Babar Azam, SIX, Seam-up but too short. Too straight too. Babar stands mostly upright and helps it along with a pull over backward square. Peak wristage

Sikandar Raza to Mohammad Nawaz, 1 run, Length on off, dabbed to backward point's right

Raza to close out. Around

Evans to Babar Azam, SIX, Clobbered. Taken by the boundary boy behind deep midwicket. Slower back of lengther on fourth, waited and pulled it flat. 82 metres

Evans to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, OUT, One bounce to long-on, and there's also confusion in the running. Ashraf wanted two and gets run out! He turned back and started going for the run. Babar, rightly, said no. But Ashraf was facing the wrong side and started off too quick. The bowler was smart, got right behind the throw and whipped off the bails. Was a shortish ball that was pulled

Faheem Ashraf run out 3 (6m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75

Evans to Babar Azam, 1 run, Pre-meditated paddle. Right idea, no execution. Partially because Evans went pace off - 102ks. Got inside the line of the fourth-stump length ball and tried to lap it fine. Edged it onto short fine leg

Evans to Babar Azam, FOUR, Hard length, harder flat-bat! Babar stayed still, knew the ball was in his reach, and slapped the slower ball over the bowler's head
