    0.4 and he strikes in his first over. Length ball around off, Stirling looks to clear the mid-off but doesn't get the timing right. Nabi pedals back a couple of steps and takes it with reverse cups 0/1
    9.1 and he provides that breakthrough. Maiden T20I wicket for Qais. Tossed up around off, O'Brien looks to go aerial but doesn't get it from the middle. Rashid settles under it at long-off 74/3
    2.2 off stump takes a walk. Length ball but Balbirnie stays inside the line of the ball and looks to target the cover region. Misses and a cartwheel on display 12/2
    10.4 length ball at the stumps, backs away and goes aerial but not from the middle of the bat. Ends up skying it over mid-off. Nabi takes a couple of steps back and pouches it 80/4
    16.5 fuller around off and middle. Tector goes for a slog sweep but fails to middle. Najib comes in from deep midwicket and takes the catch 122/6
    13.5 gives himself some room and looks to go over extra cover. Misses and Mujeeb hits 106/5
    17 length ball at the stumps, another slog sweep. Much better connection but it's flat. Najib pedals back a but and takes it reverse cups. Qais finishes with 3 for 25 on debut 122/7

    8.2 fuller on the stumps, Gurbaz goes for the big hit but fails to middle it and holes out at deep midwicket. He is distraught with his dismissal 60/1
    8.5 goes for a big hit over midwicket but doesn't the required distance. Tector with another catch as Delany gets two in the over 60/2
    12.2 backs away to this length ball and looks to smash it through covers. Misses and the woodwork is disturbed 92/3
    19.3 fuller and wider again, looks to go over cover once again but fails to middle. Balbirnie back-pedals and takes it comfortably this time. But the batsmen have crossed, so it will be Rashid on strike 130/7
    14.4 goes for the another big shot and holes out at long-on. Was a legbreak, short and there to be hit. Nabi though ends up top-edging the pull 100/4
    14.5 length ball around off and angling in, Najib goes for a reverse sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. A big appeal and the finger goes up. Simi Singh on a hat-trick 100/5
    18.4 Naib goes for a slog to a length ball, misses and the stumps are disturbed 124/6
