Time to welcome back Ankur for the start of the chase

Chinmoy066 : "If BD can pull this off it's gonna boost them for this series and the upcoming wc! "

rameez Riaz : "Cricinfo live forecaster spot on !!!" 53 and 47, yep

Shan Masood: It was a nightmare in the first six balls, I tried to keep busy. But once I got the first shot away, it got easier. Wickets would be key on this pitch, even we were able to cash in later with wickets in hand. Grass and Rizwan's shoes were both reasons for the slips. We might get a few spikes changed to adapt.

4:43pm: Rizwan anchors and stands tall, as is his superpower, to take Pakistan to 167. He started steadily with Babar. Pakistan were going well in the powerplay. The fifty partnership between the openers was brought up but it ended soon after. Shan Masood came in, got busy, aided Rizwan and kept the innings moving. Haider and Asif could not get going but credit has to be given to Taskin, Nasum, and co for bowling tight lengths. The yorkers were good too, Nawaz and Rizwan managed to take it to 167.

Zia Abbasi: "Pakistan need to score 175 which would be a just above par owing to lack of depth in the bowling. In recent series, Wasim Jr and Dahani couldn't exhibit any distinct performance and looked quite rusty. " Thoughts?

Great show of control from Taskin in the last two.
