    1.5 bowled him! Zaman is down on his knees, and can barely believe what has just happened. He doesn't want to walk back after being foxed by a cross-seam ball. Chameera bowled a slower delivery which teased Zaman while taking its time to land on a length on off, and hit the edge of the off stump, as Zaman looked to swipe it away but missed. Completely beaten by the change-up 15/1
    9.4 taken at deep midwicket! The fielder is only three-fourths of the way back on the boundary, and takes it with a reverse cup. Haider bowled it on a short of a length around sixth stump, and Hales went fetching and pulling from there, but miscued to end a slow knock from him 73/2
    10.4 short-arm pull lands into the fine-leg fielder's hands! That looks like a soft dismissal. Naib banged this in short around off, and Lawrence looked to get on top of the bounce and hook. The ball, though, went off the higher side of the bat, and Chameera, at fine leg, moved a few steps to his left to grab the ball 75/3
    11.3 another stumping chance missed! But, but... Curran could still be dismissed! Ooh, this looks tricky, but is given out after a number of replays. Curran missed a full delivery angled in, which pitched on leg, and went down further, as he looked to flick. Hope, the wicketkeeper, failed to gather the ball on the first attempt even as Curran again lost his balance. But the ball dropped off Hope's gloves and went on to hit the stumps while Curran was still trying to gather himself back. So no matter the fumble from Hope, Curran is still stumped as the bails came off, and Raza gets his man three balls after he nearly had him 80/4
    14.5 gone! Zahir hits back! Massive turn for the wristspinner. He bowls this on the shorter side of a length around seventh stump, and the ball goes on to hit leg stump! It kept low too, as Azam attempted to pull it away perhaps somewhere over midwicket. But the turn and the lack of bounce meant he was completely beaten 102/5
    19.1 taken at fine leg! That ball was rather there to be dumped out of the ground! Rutherford is walking back an annoyed man. The fielder only a step or two to his left to take this comfortably, as Rutherford whipped at this length delivery swinging in, and arriving on his pads. You would think those balls are flung away on most days by a batter, but not by Rutherford on this occasion 132/9
    16.2 Hasaranga's party ends playing the very same shot which has brought him the happy moments tonight! He gets his front leg out of the way, and goes heaving at this fullish ball dipping around off. But this time he finds the man placed at deep midwicket, who takes it with a reverse cup. A wicket for DC which could prove to be bang at the right time 116/6
    16.4 Zahir appeals with conviction, and gets it his way! But Suri is in doubt, and reviews! Zahir bowled this from the back of the hand, and on the shorter side of a length around middle. The ball almost straightened, and also bounced nicely. Suri was low and trying to play the sweep with his front leg out of the way. But he missed, and replays show the ball going over his bat. That tells you about the extra bounce Zahir got. There's no bat involved, and he's hit close to his chest. This could be going over... but ball tracking shows the ball would have hit the top of middle! Wow, thank God I'm not an umpire! 116/7
    18.2 chipped to long-on! So Rutherford remains away from the strike. McCoy bowled on a length, while angling it in, and landing it on a length on leg. It went on with the angle, and Naseer, who looked to bash it back down the ground after clearing his front leg, only managed to find the fielder. Powell, at the boundary, took it with a reverse cup 130/8
    19.5 bowled him! The rapid ball follows the slower one, and Ferguson is gone! Ferguson is slightly leg side of the ball, and as he looks to swat at this rapid delivery on a length on off, he's beaten. The ball also skids through, and hits the top of off 139/10

    1.2 chipped to short midwicket! The one thing I observed as Ferguson was running in was that he stopped in his run-up. I'm not sure if that had an impact on Dunk, though. Ferguson bowled it on a length on middle and leg, and Dunk looked to press forward. But he ended up playing back aerially to give Ferguson an early wicket 13/1
    5.3 short of a length, just outside off. Punched towards cover, and they take off for a run. There's a wide throw at the non-striker's end, and Hope takes off for another run. But he's sent back by Naib... and this time the throw from what was deep midwicket is much closer to Curran. And... guess what, Hope is well short of the crease!! Incredible throw from Rutherford, with Curran standing very close to the stumps. Hope was dragging his bat back, but finished short in the end. DV need exactly such things to go their way 42/3
    1.5 bowled him! Ferguson fires one at 144kph, and has Khalid cleaned up! It was angled in from around the wicket, and bowled on the shorter side of a length. The ball rushed through after pitching, as Khalid attempted to slog it across the line, but was beaten by the excessive pace. His off stump was shaken eventually 17/2

    14.1 tickled to the keeper! You wonder why Raza even went for the ramp there. He had jumped out of his crease, and Amir banged it short on the stumps. Raza let it bounce considerably, and despite so much of it, he still went upper cutting. Eventually, he ended up getting it off the inside of the bat to Suri, as Amir had bowled a slower ball too 108/4
