- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Edged and gone! Randhawa has been excellent with his movement away from the left-hander. He had been denying Shahzaib a connect with the ball and he decides to charge down the wicket to hit one. Looks to hit it over covers but the ball clips his leading edge on its way to the keeper. 1/110.2 Beaten in flight Tossed on length, pitched on the line of offstump and turned sharply. Rizwan stayed on the leg side while coming down the track to hit it to the offside but failed to connect. The keeper does well to stump him. 69/31.6 Simple catch for Smith Rawaloindiz's woes continue. What was that shot? It pitched in the slot outside off and Yasir went for a pull. Top-edged that one and the ball ballooned high in the air. Smith completed the catch right next to the pitch. 6/216.4 The plan has finally produced result! There was not much protection deep outside off, except for the deep point and that is why Billings had been moving legside every ball to access the vacant zones. Wasim bowls a slower bouncer this time and Billings is forced to pull this one. He fails to hit it from the middle of the bat and hands a simple catch to deep square leg. 121/4Extras12 (b 4, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL166/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Shahzaib Khan, 0.4 ov), 2-6 (Yasir Khan, 1.6 ov), 3-69 (Mohammad Rizwan, 10.2 ov), 4-121 (Sam Billings, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Bowled him! Length ball, angling into stumps, that skid on. Farhan has been pulling Asif today and goes for the shot again, but ends up chopping it onto his stumps. 29/111.3 Tad fuller, outside off, Smith looks to cut that one and the keeper goes off in celebration after gathering the ball. It seems as if the ball had taken the inside edge of his bat. The umpire raises the finger and Pindiz are celebrating. Smith reviews that one after chatting briefly with Shan at the other end. The snicko meter shows spikes as the ball passes his bat. The young leggie has provided his side a big breakthrough! 100/310.4 High in the air and taken Tossed on fuller length, angling into the batter, and he goes for a slog sweep. He ends up top-edging it to the fielder at cow and Yasir completes a simple catch. Finally, a breakthrough 98/218.1 Length ball, angling in, Shan goes for a drive but miscues that one and Rizwan takes a blinder. Runs to his right from mid-off and plucks the ball diving forward. Excellent athleticism. 157/4Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL167/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.94)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Sahibzada Farhan, 3.3 ov), 2-98 (Josh Philippe, 10.4 ov), 3-100 (Steven Smith, 11.3 ov), 4-157 (Shan Masood, 18.1 ov)
