- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.5 no 50 for Munro! Clever from Malik, who tosses this up and also just hangs the length back a touch. Munro looks for the slog sweep, but is too early on it. Ends up missing it, as it goes on to clip the top of off 98/112.5 Yes, he can be stopped! Sameen has found a way courtesy of the bouncer! He goes very short for the first time in the over on about fifth stump, Asif swivels to hook but picks out deep backward square leg a few steps inside the rope. Safe catch at chest height. Sameen breathes a sigh of relief in the Abu Dhabi desert heat. 145/2Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL247/2 (20 Overs, RR: 12.35)Fall of wickets: 1-98 (Colin Munro, 9.5 ov), 2-145 (Asif Ali, 12.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 length, and he looks to go across the line, and this has gone high, high, high up in the sky. Hasan Ali comes running in from mid-on and places himself under this at midwicket, and is able to hold on. What a start for United! 0/18.6 slower ball, and he looks to pull this away. It's a teaser for midwicket, but Iftikhar comes across, dives forward and takes this. Talat lets out a scream in jubilation. That's a massive wicket for Islamabad. The well-set batsman goes for Zalmi 88/34.3 length, lofted down the ground, but strikes the top of the bat. Hasan Ali takes another catch moving to his left from mid-on. Perhaps not the best shot selection, as he was looking to play a shot that would have been appropriate for a fuller length. Truth be told, this was not looking like a situation cut out for a player like Imam 35/216.2 cleans up Shoaib! Full and straight on off, too much heat on the delivery for Shoaib to catch up with. It was actually more of a fuller length ball, not quite yorker length so it was there to hit but Shoaib is late swinging across the line and the stumps light up. 185/612.3 bounces him out! Banged it in short at 123 kph on middle stump, Powell tried to repeat the stroke from the ball earlier but was a touch late. It swirls above the keeper and Akhlaq shuffles to his left to take a simple catch. 128/414.6 The change of angle nabs him! Slower ball angled across full on fifth stump, Rutherford tries to just open the face to run this behind point, got it much much finer off the face than intended and a thin edge is snapped up by the keeper diving low to his left. 174/5Extras13 (lb 6, w 7)TOTAL232/6 (20 Overs, RR: 11.6)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Hazratullah Zazai, 0.1 ov), 2-35 (Imam-ul-Haq, 4.3 ov), 3-88 (Kamran Akmal, 8.6 ov), 4-128 (Rovman Powell, 12.3 ov), 5-174 (Sherfane Rutherford, 14.6 ov), 6-185 (Shoaib Malik, 16.2 ov)
