- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 that looks plumb and the dreaded finger goes slowly up in the air! Farhan wants a second opinion from folks sitting upstairs. Now it was pitched slightly short of a length and just skidded on, hitting the right leg as he failed to connect with the swing towards square leg. Nothing on the ultra-edge, no bat involved, Farhan looking keenly at the screen, it's just clipping leg stump which is enough to upheld the on-field decision. Shamar strikes 26/111.5 that looks pretty adjacent and umpire had no hesitation to give it lbw. Slow and angles it on middle, Saim jams his bat down as evasive action but is maybe a bit too late, dipped right on the toes and took him by surprise. Prolonged appeal for an lbw. Sent upstairs. No bat involved. Three reds on the screen and hitting middle, not sure what Saim was hoping there 107/213.1 over the wicket, touch fuller than a length and zings it into his pads, powers it away off the toe-end part of the bat and finds Romario at deep square who gobbles it up inches inside the ground, Fakhar gone after a start, will be gutted to miss out just when he wanted to accelerate and make up for the slow-ish strike rate. West Indies managing to pull things back and have removed two big guns 110/316.2 shorter and wide of off, was a wide delivery, he shuffles across and cuts him towards the wind and finds Charles at sweeper cover who takes a wonderful diving catch to see the back of dangerous Hasan Nawaz 136/417.4 goes full and wide, unleashes a cut and finds the man at deep cover-point, Motie hangs onto it brilliantly, 150/519.5 touch fuller and swerving away a tad from off, tries to club it over long-on and gets the outer half of the blade, well-pouched by Holder at long-off, terrific catch 172/6Extras14 (lb 6, w 8)TOTAL178/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Sahibzada Farhan, 3.2 ov), 2-107 (Saim Ayub, 11.5 ov), 3-110 (Fakhar Zaman, 13.1 ov), 4-136 (Hasan Nawaz, 16.2 ov), 5-150 (Mohammad Nawaz, 17.4 ov), 6-172 (Faheem Ashraf, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.4 Charles's ebullience comes to an end, tries a big shot again, high on the bat as he tries to swivel pull and ends up getting a top-edge to Haris (with the gloves) 75/211.1 around the wicket, back of a length pushed wide across off with some turn, labored shot and finds the man at long off. Asking rate was shooting up and he tried to keep it manageable, losing his wicket in the process, could not generate enough power 72/112.5 over the wicket, lifts a fuller ball on middle, a carom ball, and finds Hasan Nawaz to perfection at long on, West Indies chase has officially been derailed, cleverly bowled, bringing all his tricks to the fore, definitely not just a part timer, he has got tricks up his sleeve 77/411.5 around the wicket, quicker and angles into him from a length at middle, gets his front leg out of the way and tries to elevate it but finds Ayub's safe pair of hands at deep midwicket, good catch taken! 75/314.3 tossed up beautifully on a length and it spins across middle, no extravagant turn, he clears front leg, swivels and finds Fakhar Zaman at deep square who pockets it well, another big wicket as West Indies lose the plot, Saim not made to break his sweat to pick key wickets 92/515.5 pace off cutting in from wide of off and rising from a shortish length, steps away to the on side to access the gap at cover, sent high in the air but does not get the requisite distance, finds Farhan at deep extra cover region as West Indies continue to slide further into the abyss 110/616.1 that's an incredible delivery, cannot fathom why he does not get consistent chances. A ripper on a length that skids through and straightens a touch leaving him flummoxed and stuck deep in the crease, lits up the zingers as it hit the middle stump, was a quicker googly 110/7Extras13 (lb 2, w 11)TOTAL164/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Jewel Andrew, 11.1 ov), 2-75 (Johnson Charles, 11.4 ov), 3-75 (Gudakesh Motie, 11.5 ov), 4-77 (Shai Hope, 12.5 ov), 5-92 (Sherfane Rutherford, 14.3 ov), 6-110 (Roston Chase, 15.5 ov), 7-110 (Romario Shepherd, 16.1 ov)
