- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 edged behind to Rizwan! One good ball followed by another. Young is only half-forward - he almost seemed unsure whether to go back or press forward - and he ended up jabbing at the ball by opening the face of the bat. Afridi went with that teasing in-between length - I think this ball was slightly fuller than the previous one - as it shaped away to finish around sixth stump. Young still decided to poke at it, and ended up getting an outside edge 4/17.4 return catch for Abrar! Ravindra walks back looking shocked. The ball arrived lowish towards Abrar, who grabbed it with both hands - and why not? He bowled this one full too, except that this was tossed up, and much slower. It arrived around fifth stump, and Ravindra went whipping using his bottom hand. But he might have been beaten by the lack of pace, as he only chipped it back to Abrar 39/226.2 edged and taken. Shaheen breaks the threatening stand. A length ball around off, from around the wicket. The ball just leaves Williamson who pokes at it and gets a thin outside edge. A straightforward catch for Rizwan 134/337.5 chipped to midwicket! One ball after firing a six, Mitchell gives it away, and expresses his frustration. He decided to jump down the pitch this time, and converted this into a dipping, low full toss outside leg stump. But in looking to clip it with the angle into him - and also the line of the ball - Mitchell only found the man placed at midwicket to end a solid knock, and give Pakistan an opening 200/527.1 and he strikes straightaway. Pakistan are well and truly back into the game. A length ball angling towards the body. Latham looks to work it on the leg side but the think the ball came a touch slower off the pitch, as has been the case so far today. He ended up chipping it to the left of short midwicket, where Kamran Ghulam dived forward to grab it with both hands 135/445.4 a length ball this time. Bracewell looks to go big again but this time his pull fails to clear long-on. In fact, Saud Shakeel caught it well inside the boundary line 254/6Extras17 (b 4, lb 7, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL330/6 (50 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Will Young, 0.4 ov), 2-39 (Rachin Ravindra, 7.4 ov), 3-134 (Kane Williamson, 26.2 ov), 4-135 (Tom Latham, 27.1 ov), 5-200 (Daryl Mitchell, 37.5 ov), 6-254 (Michael Bracewell, 45.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.6 well taken by Phillips! Babar's painful stay ends, and his first innings as opener in ten years doesn't pay off. Phillips was placed at square leg, and dived forward like only he can to grab this just off the ground. Bracewell had bowled it on the shorter side, and got it to turn in towards middle and leg. Babar looked to play with the turn but ended up chipping it to end the powerplay with a wicket 52/1Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL89/1 (16 Overs, RR: 5.23)Fall of wickets: 1-52 (Babar Azam, 9.6 ov)
