- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 a loud appeal for caught behind and it's been given. A length ball on the stumps from Motie. Masood moved across and looked to flick. All he got was a tickle. Imlach, on debut, was quick to move down the leg side and pouch it 20/25.5 that edge sounded as if the ball hit the middle of the bat - it was so loud. Seales once again bowls it in the corridor and young Hurraira simply hangs his bat out. A regulation catch for Imlach, his first in Test cricket 16/113.3 Draws the edge! Up goes the finger. This is beautiful bowling from Jayden Seales! Babar reviews though! He thought a lot about that. This was a length ball angling in from wide of the crease to pitch outside off. The ball straightens off the pitch as Babar fends at it and goes by close to the edge. UltraEdge confirms the nick and that will be that for Babar Azam! 46/49.5 given lbw. Ghulam sends it for a review after a chat with Babar. It was a length ball starting well outside off but kept coming in with the angle. Ghulam offered no shot and got hit high on the back thigh. The impact doesn't matter in this case. And the ball-tracking shows it would just clipped the off bail - umpire's call on that, so it stays out 31/3Extras6 (lb 5, nb 1)TOTAL143/4 (41.3 Overs, RR: 3.44)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Muhammad Hurraira, 5.5 ov), 2-20 (Shan Masood, 8.1 ov), 3-31 (Kamran Ghulam, 9.5 ov), 4-46 (Babar Azam, 13.3 ov)
