- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 Short and spliced it high in the air! Siddle finds the breakthrough. Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps line, plays the pull shot, closes the face of the bat early and connects the leading edge towards short fine leg. Philippe comes around and gobbles it up with his safe hands. 48/17.5 Babar departs! Tosses up a fuller length ball on the stumps line, dances down the track and tries to go downtown; the bat face rotates after striking the ball, connects the inner part of the bat and finds the substitute fielder. Shehzad Gul sprinted to his left side and dived in to take a brilliant catch! 72/217.6 Ismail gets the big wicket! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, walks forward and tries to swing it away over the on-side area, miscues the stroke and chips it towards long on. Nawaz sprints in and completes the catch. 175/514.2 Yousaf holes out at deep midwicket! Short pitched ball on the stumps, advances down the track and swings it away, hits it hard and flat to the right of deep midwicket. Masood moves around and safely completes the catch as the ball dips. Yousaf is clearly furious with himself, striking his pad with his bat before making the slow walk back to the dugout. 135/317.2 Slower delivery does the trick! 122.8 slower bouncer ball on middle-leg, plays the swivel pull shot, got plenty of elevation but not enough power to clear the on-side region, picks out Masood near the ropes. 169/419.1 Siddle gets his second scalp! Short of a length ball on the stumps, cramped for space and plays the pull shot, doesn't get quite hold of it and finds the on-side sweeper fielder near the ropes 190/6Extras12 (b 4, lb 3, w 5)TOTAL196/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Mohammad Haris, 4.3 ov), 2-72 (Babar Azam, 7.5 ov), 3-135 (Farhan Yousaf, 14.2 ov), 4-169 (Michael Bracewell, 17.2 ov), 5-175 (Kusal Mendis, 17.6 ov), 6-190 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Massive wicket! Quicker back of a length ball around off, 102 clicks, plays the square cut and connects the outside part of the bat, chips a low catch towards cover and Samad pouches it diving forward. 30/19.1 Muqeem strikes! Slower through the air ball outside the sixth stump line, Smith tries to go for the big heave, plays the slog sweep and drags the ball from wide outside off, hitting it straight to Bracewell at deep midwicket near the ropes. With the dot balls mounting, Smith attempted to release some of the pressure. 85/29.3 Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Quicker and fuller on the stumps line turning back in, playing the paddle sweep and missing the length, strikes the front pad. Philippe opted to review after a quick chat with Masood. No bat is involved, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. All three reds and straightening just enough to hit the off stump. Both set batters are back in the hut! 86/315.1 You just can't keep Ifti out of the play! Quicker and a tad fuller around off, a hint of turn away from the batter and Masood tries to whack it over long off but mishits the stroke towards widish long off. The long off fielder sprints in to his right side and gobbles it up. Samad juggled the catch a few times but managed to hold on to it in the end. 146/513.3 Cleaned him up with a peach! Generously flighted length ball on the stumps and turning in sharply, it sits down on the track to play the slog sweep, goes through bat-pad as Turner misses the line and length, and crashes onto the leg stump. 123/416.3 Straight up in the air and taken by Babar! 148.8 kph bouncer ball on the fifth stump line angling away, loses his shape as Arafat plays the pull shot across the line, miscues the stroke towards mid-off and Babar pouches it comfortably using the reverse cup technique. 154/619.3 Bouncer ball on the fifth stump line, full swing of the bat and skies it high. Mendis sprints forward and completes the catch with the gloves on. 170/818.6 Edged and taken! Mendis takes a stunning catch, and Nahid finishes his quota with a well-deserved wicket. Hard length ball on the stumps, clears the front leg and plays with the full swing of the bat, tickles off the outside part of the bat. Mendis was already shifting down the leg side to anticipate the ball's trajectory, but he had to quickly adjust his weight back to the right and managed to cling on to the catch. 164/7Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL172/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Did not bat: Muhammad IsmailFall of wickets: 1-30 (Sahibzada Farhan, 2.4 ov), 2-85 (Steven Smith, 9.1 ov), 3-86 (Josh Philippe, 9.3 ov), 4-123 (Ashton Turner, 13.3 ov), 5-146 (Shan Masood, 15.1 ov), 6-154 (Arafat Minhas, 16.3 ov), 7-164 (Mohammad Wasim, 18.6 ov), 8-170 (Mohammad Nawaz, 19.3 ov)
