- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2 caught at long on! Umar Akmal was placed down there, but Fakhar decided to take on the fielder. He hit it alright, but didn't get much elevation and it went straight down the fielder's throat. Early strike! 15/15.2 two in the over! It's the angle that did it. After the bouncer, Mudassar hits the seam on a length delivery angled across the right-handed Sohail Akhtar, who didn't move his feet an inch as he poked his bat out at the ball. An edge was the result, and a second wicket for the young left-armer 41/35.1 got him! Salman Butt looks for an early release shot, picking up a length delivery and lifting it into the leg side field ... but straight to Ahsan Ali at deep midwicket, who completes a simple catch 40/210.3 Anderson holes out! He was aiming downtown and advanced down the wicket, but Anwar's length was short and he couldn't get the connection he wanted, the ball getting only as far as Nawaz at long on 78/415.3 caught in the deep! Short from Tanvir, and it possibly just skidded on to Wiese quicker than he was expecting. He went for a pull, but the ball came off the splice and looped easily out to Smith at deep midwicket 118/517.2 another wicket for the 19 year old! It's a superb yorker that does it. He sent the ball down cross-seamed, and beat Gauhar's attempted flick into the leg side, the ball striking the pad in front of middle and leg 129/618.5 Yasir slogs the ball high into the leg side, but the connection is not a great one and Ahsan holds an easy catch in the deep 136/7Extras11 (b 1, lb 7, w 3)TOTAL143/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Fakhar Zaman, 1.6 ov), 2-40 (Salman Butt, 5.1 ov), 3-41 (Sohail Akhtar, 5.2 ov), 4-78 (Corey Anderson, 10.3 ov), 5-118 (David Wiese, 15.3 ov), 6-129 (Gauhar Ali, 17.2 ov), 7-136 (Yasir Shah, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 chipped to mid off! Huge wicket in the first over. The ball was pitched right up to the bat, and Watson went for a big drive, aiming to get it over the infield. But he couldn't elevate it, and a simple catch is held at mid off 1/111.1 bowled him! Googly from Lamichhane. I'm not convinced Ahsan read it. He was deep in his crease and waiting to pull the ball into the leg side, but it rushed in to him - turning appreciably - to rattle the stumps 77/44.1 bowled him! The change of ends works! Yasir was much too short in his first over, but this is right on the money, looped up to the batsman. What's more, instead of spinning in to the left hander it rushes straight on, beating his outside edge and clattering into the stumps 26/27.5 got him! Umar offers catching practice to Gauhar behind the stumps. The short ball rushes him even as he tries to guide the ball down, and a thin edge is through to the keeper as Rauf sets off on a celebratory run 53/312.1 this was always on the cards! The running had been all over the place. Sarfraz drives to cover - straight at Fakhar Zaman. Smith, a little inexplicably, sets off for a single that never was. Sarfraz never moved from the crease, and if there was a call he didn't respond. As the throw comes in, Smith doesn't even bother trying to make his ground as he's so far out 81/518.4 caught at the boundary! Rauf sends down an offcutter, on a length, and he goes for a big pull. He hit it fairly well, but not well enough to get it over Sohail Akhtar, who is very close to the boundary when he takes the catch. So close, in fact, that the umpire's want to have another look at where his foot was in relation to the boundary marker. Seems it's a clean catch though. Is there a twist? 135/619.1 bowled him! Wiese runs in and bowls an inswinging yorker, right on his toes. The ball reverses in and dips, zipping under Anwar's bat and shattering the stumps 137/7Extras6 (b 1, lb 1, w 4)TOTAL148/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Shane Watson, 0.3 ov), 2-26 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.1 ov), 3-53 (Umar Akmal, 7.5 ov), 4-77 (Ahsan Ali, 11.1 ov), 5-81 (Dwayne Smith, 12.1 ov), 6-135 (Mohammad Nawaz, 18.4 ov), 7-137 (Anwar Ali, 19.1 ov)
