- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.3 Sharjeel pays the price trying to repeat the shot! Carbon copy ball to the previous delivery on fifth stump, Sharjeel tries to run this down to third man again for a boundary but the ball is a touch slower and doesn't come on as he anticipated, he's through the shot a touch early and drags onto his stumps. 80/39.1 taken at deep midwicket! Good length, lobbed up slowly. Babar takes it on with a slog swep, but it's a long boundary there and deep midwicket takes strides to the left to hold on. Looks like Hassan 71/110.1 and Guptill falls holing out to the man on the rope to Arish Ali's first ball! Guptill tries to heave this full ball on fifth stump straight down the ground but picks out the man at long-off, simple catch five yards inside the rope after tracking 15 yards to his right to intercept it at chest height taking it in stride. 76/214.6 another drag on! Carbon copy to Sharjeel's dismissal again! Looks like he'll take another six wickets here if they leave slip vacant and he keeps teasing them into a late cut on that good length ball spinning in from fifth stump. Another Karachi batsman pays the price for trying to be too cute and finesse a boundary past the keeper but Arish is bowling at a pace where that ball just isn't coming on to the bat at the pace they want and Najibullah is through the late cut a touch early, ultimately dragging this onto his stumps. 99/416.5 full on fifth stump, Imad tries to whack this over long-off but doesn't get the distance, comes off more of the toe of the bat and a simple catch three yards inside the rope for Hassan. 121/519.4 slower ball yorker denies Danish a chance at making history! Khurram had him way way out in front. It was looking like a juicy full toss out of the hand but it fell off a table and died very late to dip under the bat with Danish way out in front on a leg side heave before the ball kisses the base of off stump. An anticlimactic end to a scintillating knock. 174/619.6 overpitched on fifth stump, slammed flat to long-off. Ilyas comes back for a suicide second only because it's the last ball of the innings but the relay is true to the bowler who takes the bails off with Ilyas five yards short trying to complete the second. 176/7Extras8 (nb 2, w 6)TOTAL176/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Babar Azam, 9.1 ov), 2-76 (Martin Guptill, 10.1 ov), 3-80 (Sharjeel Khan, 10.3 ov), 4-99 (Najibullah Zadran, 14.6 ov), 5-121 (Imad Wasim, 16.5 ov), 6-174 (Danish Aziz, 19.4 ov), 7-176 (Mohammad Ilyas, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 knocks out off stump! A beautiful sight. Weatherald's scratchy start doesn't result in much at the end. He hasn't been picking which way Arshad is taking it. This is length and at off, he shapes to drive through the off side with the angle. It straightens and beats his inside edge to create a lovely scene as the stump goes rolling 48/24.6 taken behind! Good length ball slammed into a middle and off line, he looks for the drive on the up as that just cuts away. Thin edge and carried nicely through to Walton 32/110.1 and he strikes first ball back! Full length ball on off, tries to shovel this over mid-off up in the ring. The field setting tempted Usman into the shot but he didn't time it at all and he falls to the fielder Imad Wasim on the ring, who takes a very simple catch at head height. 72/312.6 slashes this to deep third man! Bounced him again and tried to pull again, or was he trying to pump this over cover? Regardless, it climbed on him too much and sails to the man set perfectly on the third man rope, who claims this at chest height. 91/416.5 Amir gets fingertips on this as a straight drive drills the non-striker's stumps to runout Hassan Khan. Full delivery on off, pulverized by Sarfaraz back down the pitch and Hassan was looking for quick runs thinking about two even before the ball is delivered. He is a good six yards out of his crease when the ball ricochets onto the stumps off Amir. No review needed for the third umpire. 123/517.2 short on the stumps, flicks a short arm jab pull straight down the throat of deep square leg. Easy catch taken five yards in from the rope by Danish, whose solid day continues. 127/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL162/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Saim Ayub, 4.6 ov), 2-48 (Jake Weatherald, 7.1 ov), 3-72 (Usman Khan, 10.1 ov), 4-91 (Azam Khan, 12.6 ov), 5-123 (Hassan Khan, 16.5 ov), 6-127 (Abdul Nasir, 17.2 ov)
