    8.5 Round the wicket, tossed up and he wrecks the stumps with a gorgeous delivery that came in sharply from outside off and beat Omair's defence. Wickets are tumbling as Pakistan stare into the abyss. He tried to cut that late but it was too close to the stumps. Another big wicket for Hong Kong 54/5
    0.4 Good length, hits the deck hard and gets the ball to climb viciously off the deck and it's meandering away as well, he tries to feel for it and nicks it to Hayat at first slip and he pouches it safely 1/1
    2.5 That's a tremendous riposte! Bowls a scorching delivery on a shortish length in the channel, he throws his bat at it and gets a tickle through to the keeper who takes a regulation catch, it was quite wide and lured him to waft at it, he is slightly beaten for the pace and looked a bit indecisive. 19/2
    3.4 Tossed up fuller on the pads, trying to target that knee roll, he plants his front leg and tries to sweep that away but misses out and the umpire raises the dreaded finger, it was a well-disguised arm ball, pitched on middle and would have clattered middle and leg stump, I don't think Haider picked it off his arm and it looks stone dead. Hong Kong on fire! Pakistan need to rebuild and forge a partnership 24/3
    8.1 Miscues the skier and he cannot believe it, he is standing there despondent. Gets down low to it and tries to pump that over midwicket but ends up skewing it to Nazakat (Hong Kong captain) at silly mid-off and he is absolutely elated. Tempted him with the flight and he cannot get on top of the bounce. This is a massive breakthrough, captain has to back in the hut 51/4
    12.3 Hung in the air for a while before fielder at long-on swooped like a falling meteor to take the catch, floated up on off stump, he takes the bait and looks to big down the ground but didn't get the requisite power behind the shot 73/6
    16.4 What a snare! He was getting fidgety and loses patience as he slices it straight to backward point who takes a sharp low catch. Pakistan in complete disarray here, seventh wicket down and it's a big one. 109/7
    18.3 Another one bites the dust, one big shot too many? 126/8
    19.5 An anti-climatic end to a enterprising knock, that was spanked height and not entirely mighty, deep cover-point kept his balance and settled under the ball to take the catch comfortably. Third umpire took a look at it if it was a legitimate delivery 160/9

    5.3 Gottim him with a beauty! Tossed up on a length and it straightens just enough to beat his defence and pings the top of off 29/2
    1.5 Pakistan draw first blood! Pressure of dots got to him as he tried to play a jailbreak shot and got a top edge that fountained up, goes straight into the mitts of Rohail Nazir who makes no mistake. 10/1
    8.6 Rearranges his stumps with a straighter one! He goes back and can't squirt that away and sees the bails coming off. Khushdil still struggling a bit after that hit on his cheekbone as the ball deflected off his shoe but he is continuing 54/3
    9.6 Lunges back and tries to clobber that over deep midwicket but didn't get underneath it, gets more elevation than distance, fielder in the deep no mistake and gobbles it up gleefully 54/4
    12.4 Edged and taken! Tossed up on a shortish length on fifth stump line and it holds its line, he was waiting for it to spin, ends up kissing it to Rohail who takes a smart catch behind the stumps 62/7
    10.5 The dreadful rattle means he has to go back to the pavilion. Makes a mess of his stumps and throws it away while trying to smoke it down the leg side, beaten by the pinpoint accurate delivery 55/5
    11.1 Tossed up fuller just outside off, squeezed out to cover 57/6

    13.2 Spoons it straight to cover and Shukla starts to take the long walk back into the pavilion! Flummoxes him with a full-length delivery just outside off, he tries to lift him up and over cover but it goes straight Qasim who pockets a low catch 63/8
    16.4 Chopped it back onto the stumps! Slinks back and tries to power this through square leg and midwicket but once again the ball skids through the deck and rises viciously as he gets a bottom edge 76/9
    18.5 That hung in the air for a while before descending towards deep midwicket who pouches the skier safely into the his bucket hands, he didn't get enough power nor the elevation, and that brings an end to Hong Kong's resistance on this rank turner 92/10
