    1.4 sliced into the hands of backward point. Balbirnie backs away once again in order to open up the off side, but finds the infielder. Omarzai follows the moving batter with a full ball and has him carving a straightforward catch 28/1
    3.5 on a length and wide of off, Tucker has to fetch it from there. He can only drag a catch to Najibullah at deep midwicket. Double-strike from Farid Malik 40/3
    5.6 Fareed Malik strikes once again. Tector jumps across off and searches for a scoop over short fine leg. Malik floats it wide of off, wide of the moving batter. Tector can only scoop it back to Gurbaz. Tector suggests he did not touch that. He remonstrates with the umpire and drags himself off the field 63/4
