- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 blinder at slip! Very, very reminiscent of Dwayne Leverock's from 2007. Take a bow, Steven Taylor. Netravalkar bowls a pearler, Rizwan is squared up by the line and length, the hint of away movement helps get the edge as Rizwan jabs at the delivery and the ball flies low to Taylor who puts his right hand out to pluck it sensationally. 9/115.5 loud and confident appeal for lbw, and given. But predictably, Babar reviews! Jasmeet bowled a length ball angling in and pitching just outside off. It angled in and hit Babar's front knee seemingly on middle, as he looked to clip but missed. Replays confirm there is no bat involved, and that the ball would have hit the leg stump. So Babar's struggle ends at just above-a-run-a-ball 44 125/62.3 what is happening? Usman sees the ball tossed up and decides he's going down town, but the ball spins away to have him slicing high to long-off. The noise is deafening. Nitish Kumar was cool and calm underneath the high ball. 14/24.4 what on earth has Fakhar done? Attempts a paddle and ends up hitting it straight to short fine leg. Was in no control of the stroke, was completely off balance, so didn't get the amount of bat he would've liked. USA are all over Pakistan here in the powerplay. 26/312.4 good catch at short fine leg! The break takes Shadab's momentum away. Netravalkar placed on the edge of the circle jumps slightly to his right, and grabs the ball. Kenjige angled this length ball into Shadab, who had backed away early. The ball finished a few stumps outside leg, and Shadab ended up swinging it straight to the fielder 98/412.5 given out first ball! Azam has a chat with Babar... and reviews. Kenjige bowled on a length on middle, and the ball seemed to have skidded through to middle and leg. Aza went pushing at it with a closed face of the bat, and missed as he was beaten on the inside edge. Replays show no bat involved, and it is umpire's call on hitting the top of leg stump. Kenjige on a hat-trick 98/518.1 ohh, an animated appeal for lbw... and it is given out! But Iftikhar reviews! It was a slower ball which was dipping rather sharply. It hit Iftikhar's front pad seemingly on leg, as he looked to swipe this to the on side. He was standing deep in the crease, and was beaten by the change of pace. Replays show it would have landed right on the base on middle and leg stump, and of course, hit them too. So Pakistan lose Iftikhar right when it mattered most 139/7Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL159/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Mohammad Rizwan, 1.2 ov), 2-14 (Usman Khan, 2.3 ov), 3-26 (Fakhar Zaman, 4.4 ov), 4-98 (Shadab Khan, 12.4 ov), 5-98 (Azam Khan, 12.5 ov), 6-125 (Babar Azam, 15.5 ov), 7-139 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 Naseem (handshake) jaffa. He nicks off Taylor with the perfect length ball in the channel. 36/114.1 tickled to the keeper! This is turning around already. Amir bowled an offcutter on the shorter side of a length around middle and off. The ball moved away, and Monank skipped down the pitch to try and slash. There was a faint outside edge off the bat, though, and Rizwan went low to complete the grab 111/313.1 gone, bowled him! Gous is beaten by pace. Rauf angled this in, and bowled on a length around fifth stump. Gous was deep in the crease, and looked to chop at this ball, which shaped in slightly. It also hinted to stay a little low, and found the gap between bat and pad to hit off stump 104/2Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL159/3 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Steven Taylor, 5.1 ov), 2-104 (Andries Gous, 13.1 ov), 3-111 (Monank Patel, 14.1 ov)
