Abrar Ahmed to Perera, OUT, down the track and looks to go big. But he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and ends up hitting it straight up. Usman calls for it and catches it a couple of yards in front of where a short leg would normally stand

Saim Ayub to Perera, 1 leg bye, sharp turn from Ayub to beat the outside edge and hit the back leg. An appeal for lbw and Ayub has convinced his captain to review. Was a length ball that pitched around middle and hit the back thigh. No bat involved but the ball would have gone over the stumps. Pakistan lose their review
Kusal Perera is the new batter
