- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 and the bowler has the last laugh. Is that a brain fade or what? Shehzad, after a four first ball, decides to give the bowler the charge. The ball is not full enough, so he does not get to the pitch. Shehzad looks to forcibly push it. It straightens, beats the outside edge and rattles the stumps 4/112.1 is that a no-ball? No, doesn't seem to be. Kamran has been given out here. Samuels fires up a high, loopy full toss and Kamran smashes it away with a flat bat. Looks to launch it into the leg side but Lendl Simmons at the deep midwicket boundary snaffles it. Seemed like it was just above waist height. The on-field umpires converge and they go upstairs. The ball was dipping on him, around waist height, and they rule that it was good enough 92/30.4 appeal for stumping, they go upstairs. Does that seem to be on the line? That is as close as it gets. And, in fact, the foot now seems to be in the air as the bails come off. Reckon this is going to be out. And out it is, so the experiment does not work. Coming to the delivery, it was pitched up and Badree was drawn forward. He looks to flick it into the leg side with the turn. But that's the googly, he misses the ball and overbalances nearly. The back foot comes off as he strides forward 4/215.4 tries to improvise and pays the price for it. Gets down to paddle it but the ball is not full enough for him to be able to do that. It is on a length, he fails to make the late adjustment and cannot deal with the bounce from one knee down. Misses and the ball crashes into middle stump 115/513.4 and Malik, the in-form Shoaib Malik perishes now. This is a big blow for Pakistan. Too full and on the pads. Malik flicks, probably too well to his liking. He has played that uppishly and probably intended to get it finer. Sends it straight down the throat of deep backward square leg as it carries all the way 95/419.1 very full ball, outside off, Tanvir crunches a drive but straight to cover. Zaman os backing away too far, looking for a run and the cover fielder fires a throw to the bowler. Holder collects it cleanly and takes the bails off. And he is gone by some distance 132/817.2 run out chance, missed. Or, is it? Tries to squeeze out this fuller ball and chops it into the turf as the ball misses the stumps. The non-striker takes off for the run but Zaman is busy looking at where the ball has gone. The keeper fires a throw to the bowler's end and it seems initially that Holder has taken the stumps out with his hand and let the ball go. He did let the ball go, but as replays show, he still had the ball in his hand when the bails come off. Holder does not even make the appeal as he assumes he has lost grip of the ball. But seems like Carlos Brathwaite thought otherwise and made a belated appeal. Ball very much in hand when bails come off and that's a wicket 124/618.3 shorter ball, it is angling into him so he does not have the room to pull. Gets elevation but not distance. Pollard runs to his right from long-on and snaffles a smart catch 130/7Extras10 (b 1, lb 7, w 2)TOTAL137/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Did not bat: Hasan AliFall of wickets: 1-4 (Ahmed Shehzad, 0.2 ov), 2-4 (Imad Wasim, 0.4 ov), 3-92 (Kamran Akmal, 12.1 ov), 4-95 (Shoaib Malik, 13.4 ov), 5-115 (Babar Azam, 15.4 ov), 6-124 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 17.2 ov), 7-130 (Wahab Riaz, 18.3 ov), 8-132 (Fakhar Zaman, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.4 Lewis has picked out long-off with four runs required. But what an innings this has been. It is pitched up and he has been given room as well. Lewis has timed it superbly but just does not get the desired elevation and distance. Down the throat of Wahab who wobbles slightly initially but has done quite brilliantly to pluck it. Could have probably lost sight of it for just a second 134/31.2 this is almost a repeat of the Shoaib Malik dismissal. On the pads and flicked uppishly. Plays it too well doe his linking and sends it uppishly in the direction of deep square leg. Fakhar Zaman dives to his front and plucks with the edge of his fingers 2/17.6 and Wahab gets the better of Samuels with a slower delivery. He was reluctant to get behind the line of the ball, choosing instead to stay leg side of it to give himself room. Short of a length and he goes through with the attempted slap early. Slices it in the direction of long-on who holds on to it without fuss 58/2Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL138/3 (14.5 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Chadwick Walton, 1.2 ov), 2-58 (Marlon Samuels, 7.6 ov), 3-134 (Evin Lewis, 14.4 ov)
