- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 full on the legs, half volley really and flicks this flat to short fine leg. Hales can't believe his luck at short fine leg. Doesn't have to move laterally and just crouches down to snap this up at knee height. 3/117.4 length ball on the stumps, pulls this to deep backward square leg and Wasim Jr initially goes back before charging in late and dives forward for a superb catch at knee height 15 yards in from the rope. Hasan gives him a congratulatory hug, handshake and pat on the back before walking off after a brilliant innings. Half the Islamabad fielding unit does similar to congratulate Fakhar on a superb knock as he leaves the field. He only added 114 after being put down at slip... 195/310.4 length ball on the body, pulled high toward deep square leg, swirls to Faheem two yards inside the rope who takes a catch at knee height crouching to soften the take. 125/218.2 knee high full toss on fourth stump, Billings flubs the pull shot to extra cover for a simple waist height catch by Hasan. 203/418.4 bullseye! Six and out! Farooqi comes back with the yorker that sears into middle stump and rips it out of the ground to beat an attempted drive. 209/5Extras15 (b 1, lb 4, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL226/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.3)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Abdullah Shafique, 0.3 ov), 2-125 (Kamran Ghulam, 10.4 ov), 3-195 (Fakhar Zaman, 17.4 ov), 4-203 (Sam Billings, 18.2 ov), 5-209 (David Wiese, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Gurbaz never looked comfortably after he was nailed in the box earlier in the over. Short ball on the stumps and plays a half-hearted pull that swirls toward Haris at deep midwicket. He comes in too far initially before backpedaling and reaching above his head to take a catch tumbling backward five yards inside the rope. 32/17.6 wide yorker sliced off a thick edge to the wk. Big appeal for caught behind. The umpires have a chat trying to figure out if this is a bump ball or not and will refer to the third umpire. But live it looked clearly like it bounced into the pitch first, then off the bat to the keeper and not the other way around. This is crystal clear on replay that it bounced first before going off the edge. Wicket upheld. 63/45.1 full in the off stump channel moving away slightly and draws the outside edge on Munro's flat-footed drive. The chance flies quickly to Billings' left at chest height and he tumbles sideways for the take. 44/26.5 length ball on sixth stump, skies a pull off a top edge that swirls over the middle of the pitch. Billings calls everyone off and takes the catch in the middle of the wicket. 59/38.3 bullseye! A Rashid Khan classic! Zips this in on a good length on fourth stump and it skids to straighten as Mubasir plays inside the line defending down the wrong line before the ball skids to skim the outside of off stump. 68/512.1 bullseye! On a batting paradise, Rashid is reigning supreme tonight. Good length on middle zipped in much quicker and doesn't allow Asif to get anywhere near the pitch of the ball charging down the wicket. He flails at this hopelessly and misses as the ball cannons into middle stump 3/4 of the way up. 93/710.3 full on middle, goes to slog sweep and misses, this is stone dead. Faheem practically starts walking off before the finger is raised on the lbw appeal. He was hit on the back leg flexing to kneel for the sweep. 77/613.5 slower length ball on sixth stump, heaves this off the toe of the bat sailing to long-on for a simple catch at chest height 15 yards in from the rope. 101/815.1 that's all she wrote! Short ball on the stumps, goes to pull and top edges this behind the stumps. Billings jogs to his left along the ring at short fine leg and takes a simple catch. 107/10Extras11 (b 4, w 7)TOTAL107 all out (15.1 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 3.5 ov), 2-44 (Colin Munro, 5.1 ov), 3-59 (Shadab Khan, 6.5 ov), 4-63 (Alex Hales, 7.6 ov), 5-68 (Mubasir Khan, 8.3 ov), 6-77 (Faheem Ashraf, 10.3 ov), 7-93 (Asif Ali, 12.1 ov), 8-101 (Hasan Ali, 13.5 ov), 9-107 (Mohammad Wasim, 15.1 ov)
