- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 backs away, swings hard - and misses! Johnson's one-man show is over. Looked a tired shot, that... he trudges off slowly, just a brief wave of the bat to the crowd. Naseem hit back of a length and the ball skidded on, cramping Johnson as he looked to mow through the off side. Smack into the top of leg stump 73/62.6 bowled by a snorter! On a length, 141kph/88mph and jagging straight down the line of middle stump, slicing through Dhaliwal. Amir sprints off arms outstretched, the Pakistan fans in the ground finally have something to celebrate. Off stump is flat on the ground. That was some beautiful fast bowling from Amir 20/15.1 and now the first ball brings a wicket! Fast and nasty, rising from back of a length, kisses the glove and flies to slip. Afridi strikes with his seventh ball, after an indifferent first over, and Canada lose their second in the powerplay. The ball kicked at Pargat and he was caught between trying to play and leave 29/26.6 dropped into the covers, Kirton is sent back... Imad throws down the stumps! Superb bit of fielding, Pakistan are delighted, and it's curtains for Kirton! He wanted one but Johnson wasn't keen. Imad swooped and turned to pull off a direct hit at the non-striker's, leaving him half a yard short 43/39.3 short of a length, Movva cuts... nicks behind! 100th T20I wicket for Rauf, who gets his radar working and makes the breakthrough. Movva didn't look happy but that was perhaps more at the shot. Big deflection behind, Rizwan takes it without fuss 54/49.5 beastly line, flies off the edge! Rauf goes bang-bang. Bit of a wonky shot from Ravinderpaul, closing the face as the ball homed in over the top of off. Skewed off the shoulder of the bat straight to Babar at slip 54/516.5 swipes a big top edge, and Rizwan circles under it! The Canada captain falls trying to swing late runs. Into the pitch, Saad hoicked across the line but it got big on him, Rizwan tracking the ball all the way to the edge of the circle around short third 87/7Extras13 (b 1, lb 2, w 10)TOTAL106/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.3)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Navneet Dhaliwal, 2.6 ov), 2-29 (Pargat Singh, 5.1 ov), 3-43 (Nicholas Kirton, 6.6 ov), 4-54 (Shreyas Movva, 9.3 ov), 5-54 (Ravinderpal Singh, 9.5 ov), 6-73 (Aaron Johnson, 13.3 ov), 7-87 (Saad Bin Zafar, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Heyliger strikes with his second ball! It's been coming... bit of width Ayub pulls across the line off the back of the length... but there's not as much bounce as expected and the left-hander ends up under-edging through to the keeper, who takes a sharp low catch going back to his right 20/114.4 Gone! Babar falls to the delivery that nips away on the fourth stump line - the same one he's had trouble with throughout this knock. Tries to just guide down to third but can't get the right connection. Babar is furious and smashes his bat on the ground in disgust! 83/217.2 Full, larruped into the off side... and caught! Fakhar takes his turn to finish this one off, but ends up scything the ball high rather than far, taken excellently by subfielder Bajwa running back to cover from point 104/3Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL107/3 (17.3 Overs, RR: 6.11)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Saim Ayub, 4.2 ov), 2-83 (Babar Azam, 14.4 ov), 3-104 (Fakhar Zaman, 17.2 ov)
