8.35pm Pakistan have plundered 48 runs off the last three overs to cruise to 197 for 5. Babar Azam started well, and kept the runs coming with some lovely strokes through his innings. Then, the World XI came back just after the halfway stage of the innings with some clever changes in pace. But then Pakistan finished strong again to finish with a more-than handy total. However, I'm going to say they are about 15 runs short in this. These are prime batting conditions, and the World XI bat really deep. Karthik Krishnaswamy will be back for the chase. Have fun.
Faheem Ashraf can swing freely
Fawad K: "200 would be par score on this wicket, outfield and short boundary. Dew factor may effect more in 2nd innings. Fingers crossed."
