- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 bullseye! Full and tailing in toward middle stump. Sharjeel goes to drive expecting the outswinger that was bowled to him during the previous over but instead it comes into the body and beats the drive to knock back middle and off stump. 12/15.1 slower ball lands full on fourth stump, Rossington is through the shot a touch early and flicks this high trying to clear mid-on but it hangs in the air for Rassie to run back and take a simple catch 10 yards behind the ring. 53/34.5 length ball follows him trying to back away from leg stump and cramps him for room trying to go inside out over cover. It splices tamely in the air toward Hasan Ali at mid-off. Simple catch on the ring crouching at thigh height. Curran gives Tayyab a polite sendoff (if there is such a thing?) gesturing him back to the dugout. 49/28.5 bullseye! 50-pointer takes out the middle of middle stump! Bowled on a good to fullish length darting inward and castles Shoaib beating him between bat and pad driving. 78/418.1 do we have another spectacular relay boundary catch?! Niazi charges down the wicket and skies this a mile high to long-on. Hasan Ali tracks across to his left and takes a catch while falling over the rope and flicks it out of his hand to Rassie coming across from long-off to take credit for the relay on the scorecard but it was 99% Hasan Ali making this wicket happen. 177/5Extras7 (lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL201/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Sharjeel Khan, 2.1 ov), 2-49 (Tayyab Tahir, 4.5 ov), 3-53 (Adam Rossington, 5.1 ov), 4-78 (Shoaib Malik, 8.5 ov), 5-177 (Irfan Khan, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 slower ball foxes Munro! Amir rolls the fingers over this landing full and wide on seventh stump to entice a drive but Munro is through the shot too early, can't keep the hands back long enough and skies this over Shoaib at mid-off where a basic catch is taken. 12/15.6 bullseye! Fullish length ball tailing in toward middle, goes for a huge heave over the leg side and misses. Middle stump is knocked back. 62/27.2 Bullseye! Short on middle, Rassie goes to pull and the ball skids very low under the shot to clang into middle and off stump halfway up. 69/318.6 short and wide, slices this over backward point for what should be two. Azam wants the strike but perhaps forgot it's the last ball of the over as Faheem was busting it for two. Azam turns for two late, then changes his mind with Faheem nearly back at the striker's end. Faheem wisely and unselfishly sacrifices himself as the throw comes to the keeper but Rossington still has plenty of time to underhand to Tye who calmly takes the bails off at the bowler's end. 194/4Extras14 (lb 8, w 6)TOTAL204/4 (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.55)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Colin Munro, 0.6 ov), 2-62 (Alex Hales, 5.6 ov), 3-69 (Rassie van der Dussen, 7.2 ov), 4-194 (Faheem Ashraf, 18.6 ov)
