- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.5 length ball on middle, heaves this high and deep toward Wasim Jr at deep midwicket, who barely has to move taking a head height catch two yards in from the rope. 179/36.1 good length ball on seventh stump, there to cut but Rizwan manages a thick toe edge playing the shot that is snapped up by Azam behind the stumps. 57/110.3 superb catch by Gurbaz at long-on! Rossouw charges a full ball on the stumps, slams a drive very flat toward long-on. It was not in the air for long and other fielders would've been content to let it bounce short of their feet for a single but Gurbaz never hesitated sprinting a short burst forward 10 yards off the rope before lunging forward to intercept this at knee height. Not an easy catch by any means due to the speed the ball was coming at him and the low trajectory but Gurbaz made it look easy. 99/219.3 full on sixth stump, tries to pump this over long-off but doesn't get the elevation and it screams flat to long-off, who takes a sharp catch crouching at knee height five yards in from the rope. 201/419.6 knee high full toss on sixth stump, tries to muscle this over long-off but instead skies this to extra cover on the ring. Easy catch taken at head height. 205/5Extras10 (b 1, lb 2, w 7)TOTAL205/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Mohammad Rizwan, 6.1 ov), 2-99 (Rilee Rossouw, 10.3 ov), 3-179 (Shan Masood, 16.5 ov), 4-201 (Tim David, 19.3 ov), 5-205 (David Miller, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 slower ball lands full on off at 103 kph, Gurbaz skies a drive trying to go down the ground but instead it swirls high over backward point and a swirling chance is taken by Ilyas crouching on his knees fighting off the gravitational pull to take this reaching out in front of his body inches above the ground. 32/22.3 bullseye! Done in by a slower ball. Floated out of the side of the hand at 96 kph. Looks like a baseball knuckleball with no seam rotation whatsoever and Hales backs away from leg stump to swat this but misses badly. Leg stump is nailed halfway up. 17/19.2 bullseye! Great comeback ball by Usama Mir dragging the length back and zinging this in quicker to nail the top of middle and off stump. Munro was slightly flat-footed hustled by the pace and tried to go back late to flick but misses. 91/314.4 bullseye! 150 kph delivery lands full on fourth stump and zings off a faint inside edge on a drive that caroms onto middle stump! Shadab screams out a much different b word in furious anger into the stump mic before walking off while Ihsanullah gets out the bow and arrow celebration. 138/511.1 soft dismissal gets Azam top-edging a pull that balloons to the keeper! Half-tracker on middle and leg stump, might have gone for six on another day but Azam never found rhythm today and miscues the shot popping up toward short fine leg but Rizwan calls off the fielder to take this jogging back over the shoulder. 99/415.5 length ball on fifth stump, slaps this to long-off, Miller looks like he struggled with this in the lights for a brief moment before recovering to take the catch at knee height five yards in from the rope. 148/616.5 full on middle at 146 kph, tries to pump this with a drive over long-on but can't quite muscle this and it comes off the splice of the bat to Miller at long-on who jogs 10 yards to his left and takes a head height catch three yards in from the rope. 159/718.5 knee high full toss on middle and off stump, misses a wild heave across the line and it crushes the pads. Big lbw shout upheld. Wasim Jr calls for a review but the only hope for him is if he was hit outside the line of off stump. Otherwise this was smashing middle. Indeed, three reds light up. 90 seconds of our lives we'll never get back. 187/8Extras16 (lb 5, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL209/8 (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.53)Did not bat: Fazalhaq FarooqiFall of wickets: 1-17 (Alex Hales, 2.3 ov), 2-32 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 4.2 ov), 3-91 (Colin Munro, 9.2 ov), 4-99 (Azam Khan, 11.1 ov), 5-138 (Shadab Khan, 14.4 ov), 6-148 (Asif Ali, 15.5 ov), 7-159 (Mubasir Khan, 16.5 ov), 8-187 (Mohammad Wasim, 18.5 ov)
