- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Shatters the stumps! Inswing yorker. Vince clears his front leg to play it past the bowler but is too late on it. The ball smashes into the off stump and off goes Shaheen. There is the signature Star Man celebration. 16/115.1 Rattles his stumps! Beautifully disguised off-cutter banged on length. Babar is way too early on the pull and misses the ball, which smashes into the middle stump, completely. 130/34.3 Massive, massive wicket! Rolls his fingers and banges the ball on length. It was angling away and Mendis hurries into pull but mis-hits to mid on where Haris grabs the ball easily. 36/219.4 A brilliant reverse swinging yorker! Over the wicket, starts the ball down the leg and it tails sharply to rattle the stumps by hitting the base at middle and off 194/4Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL199/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.95)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (James Vince, 2.1 ov), 2-36 (Kusal Mendis, 4.3 ov), 3-130 (Babar Azam, 15.1 ov), 4-194 (Michael Bracewell, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 In the air and Iftikhar grabs is safely! Length ball and Naeem lofts it to the midwicket. The connection is not clean and the ball stays well inside the rope. Iftikhar runs forward from the deep midwicket to take the catch. 21/16.2 High in the air and taken! That's a big wicket for Zalmi. Abdullah came down the wicket and went for a slog sweep but mis-hit that one. The ball went high up in the air and it hung for a long time before landing right under Sufyan's throat at deep midwicket. 65/212.4 Slower ball and caught at cover! Disguises the slower one beautifully by rolling his fingers on it. Fullish outside off. Asalanka wanted to drag it to legside but the ball ballooned to Bracewell off his leading edge. 118/315.5 And he tumbles onto the stumps! Length ball angling into stumps. Sikandar was looking to pluck it over fine leg and ended up getting hit wicket. Ramiz Raja on commentary says that the ball sailed over the fence. Some way to get out. He has his head in his hands in the dug out. 160/4Extras10 (lb 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL200/4 (19.3 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Mohammad Naeem, 2.6 ov), 2-65 (Abdullah Shafique, 6.2 ov), 3-118 (Charith Asalanka, 12.4 ov), 4-160 (Sikandar Raza, 15.5 ov)
