- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 gone! Rizwan surrenders his wicket there. Goes jabbing at that short and wide ball outside off, and he has to fetch that far from hid body. In the end, he ends up pushing it low to the man placed at short cover, who dives forward to complete the catch. Replays indicate Smith may have just turned his fingers over that ball and bowled an offcutter there. Anyway, he strikes first ball 86/32.3 terrible running! Rizwan sells Babar down the river! Full, on off and a bit of turn away. Rizwan taps it to backward point and calls for a single. Babar responds, but he didn't take into account that the fielder is Hayden Walsh, West Indies' quickest and maybe most athletic fielder. Picks up, and throws it to the keeper's end, and Babar is not even in the frame! 14/14.1 and Akeal has proved most analysts wrong! Pooran went for the left-arm spinner against Fakhar, but Akeal has a skill very few others do. He gets the arm ball to drift, and the length ball outside off moves away even further. Fakhar came dancing down to attack the ball, but he is caught in two minds due to the short-ish length. Tries to adjust and nudge a cut, but the ball has swiftly gone past the edge. Pooran collects, whips the bails off, and that's two wickets down! 38/213.6 taken by deep point right on the edge of the rope! Brooks the fielder. Very good catch in the end. The ball was on a good length and outside off, and not all that short for Haider to go full throttle with his heave to the off side. But the ball took the top edge, and flew to the left of the fielder placed in the deep. Brooks ran to his left and nabbed that, all the time maintaining safe distance from the rope 109/417.6 edged and gone! Nope, not yet despite the umpire giving it out, since Iftikhar has reviewed. Fullish ball in the channel outside off, and he went for a half-drive-half-push while playing away from his body. UltraEdge shows a tickle off the outside edge, and an easy catch is taken by the keeper. It looked like Iftikhar reviewed because he had nothing to lose, since he nearly fumed after Pooran completed the take. Pakistan crumbling here 141/714.4 finds deep midwicket with his sweep! Pakistan losing their way with the death overs approaching. The ball was full on middle and off, and was flighted too. Nawaz went down on his knee early to play a premeditated sweep shot, and send that flat to the man placed well inside the boundary. The fielder didn't have to move a step around, and bagged that bang into his pouch in the end 111/516.2 excellent catch by deep midwicket! Powell the man there. He dives forward and low to complete the take. Asif gets a top edge while trying to pull that short of a length ball on middle, and plays with his front leg out of the way. But the ball balloons off his bat, and finds Powell, who looks charged up after that take. Pakistan lose a big-hitter with just four overs to go 124/619.5 run-out at the bowler's end! Wasim goes fishing at that full ball just outside off and misses, and they take off. But Pooran is quick to throw back to the bowler, who takes a few steps toward the stumps to find Wasim shot. Important for Pakistan, they have Shadab on strike 171/8Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL172/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Did not bat: Shaheen Shah AfridiFall of wickets: 1-14 (Babar Azam, 2.3 ov), 2-38 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.1 ov), 3-86 (Mohammad Rizwan, 11.1 ov), 4-109 (Haider Ali, 13.6 ov), 5-111 (Mohammad Nawaz, 14.4 ov), 6-124 (Asif Ali, 16.2 ov), 7-141 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 17.6 ov), 8-171 (Mohammad Wasim, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 in the air and midwicket runs towards wide long on for a simple catch. Full on off, and Hope wants to flick it over midwicket but its been mistimed, and doesn't have the distance. Bat's face turned in his hand while playing that, and Hope falls for a score of just 1 17/115.2 taken at long-on! King fancies another one into the stands, but ends up top-edging an attempted pull to that back of a length ball on middle and off. It wasn't all that short to slam, and the ball took off for a comfortable catch at long-on 118/53.2 appeal for lbw and the umpire thinks this has turned back enough! Full on leg, slightly flatter. Brooks looks to sweep, but the ball turns across slightly, and hits the front pad. Quick raise of the finger from the umpire, and Brooks opts not to review after a discussion with the non-striker. This ball straightened after pitching, but maybe - just maybe - this would've missed leg stump. We'll have to wait for the replays on that one 31/210.6 taken very well by long-on by diving forward! Haris ends Pooran's fun. The ball was full and a touch wide of off, as he heaves across the line while having to fetch the ball away from his body. The ball flies off the inside half of the bat as he closes the bat face, but it is not timed well and hardly goes the distance with Haris diving low full stretch to bring Pakistan back after an expensive over 85/314.1 finds deep midwicket, and gone! Slower ball from Wasim first up, and despite pitching slightly short of a length on off, Powell could only pull it right into the buckets of the man stationed in the deep while playing off his front foot. Another blow for West Indies with the required rate rising already 102/416.1 flung away to deep square leg! The ball is pretty full on middle and angling in. Asif slides to his right and even completes the catch, but himself signals that his foot may have touched the rope. But, but, wait... The soft signal is out, as the umpire goes upstairs. Multiple replays are being checked, as the fielder had to go low and slide to his right. At first impression, the side of his right boot seems to be flicking the rope, but slow motion replays show nothing disturbs the boundary even while Asif falls due to his momentum while trying to complete the catch. That is a brilliant catch in the end, one where he himself wasn't sure what happened 127/616.5 outside edge, and gone first ball! Out comes the typical Afridi celebration. Pretty full delivery in the line of around fourth stump, as Drakes drives off the front foot while the bat face slightly opens at the last moment. But the ball takes off from his outside edge for Rizwan to finish the take 131/716.6 Fullish ball, and bowled him! Golden duck for Walsh too. Beaten by pace there. He makes a touch of room to try and slash by clearing his front leg, but is beaten as the ball crashes into middle and off. Afridi has two in two, and will be on a hat-trick 131/818.4 another yorker and outside leg. He makes room and drives down the ground to long-off. They take a quick two, and the throw arrives at the bowler's end. Wow, this is much closer than what it looked as the umpire goes up to his TV colleague. Afridi receives the throw bang close to the stumps, and clips the bails off his left wrist. Replays show Hosein is just short of the crease, and he has to go 149/919.6 bowled him, and another Pakistan win! Fullish ball pitching on middle and leg, and coming on with the angle from around the wicket. Thomas misses his attempted flick, and the ball hits leg stump. Pakistan win by 9 runs, and take the series with a 2-0 lead 163/10Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL163 all out (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Shai Hope, 2.2 ov), 2-31 (Shamarh Brooks, 3.2 ov), 3-85 (Nicholas Pooran, 10.6 ov), 4-102 (Rovman Powell, 14.1 ov), 5-118 (Brandon King, 15.2 ov), 6-127 (Odean Smith, 16.1 ov), 7-131 (Dominic Drakes, 16.5 ov), 8-131 (Hayden Walsh, 16.6 ov), 9-149 (Akeal Hosein, 18.4 ov), 10-163 (Oshane Thomas, 19.6 ov)
