- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Spooned back to van Beek. Full ball at 137ks, Aaron Finch notes on comms that van Beek rolled his fingers over. It didn't come onto bat as well as Fakhar expected, he was through with the shot - a push down the ground - too early. The bat face turned inwards and and Van Beek cupped his hands and took it close to his left shoulder in the follow-through. 15/19.1 Hooked high, towards deep fine leg, fielder doesn't have to move!. He lunges forward and cups it. Van meekeren banged it into the pitch, ball got big on Imam, who went in the crease and through with the shot, arc of the bat went from low to high. He lost control and the ball skied right up. Van Beek's cock-a-hoop 38/38.3 Pulled to midwicket, Ackermann strikes first over. Shortish ball at 88kph ball spun in, Babar looked to be a bit late on deciding to play the pull. He seemed cramped for room, it floated at a lowish height to the right of Zulfiqar, who dove across and took it. As Waqar Younis says on air, all three bowlers deserve credit for the wicket, for keeping Babar quiet and tentative. 34/231.3 what a peach of a delivery to hit back! Bas de Leede cleans Rizwan up! Seams in niftily and sneaks through the gate between the bat and pad. Takes the top of off and de Leede's delight is obvious 182/528.1 Softie deluxe. Shakeel toe edges a bunt-sweep to midwicket! Aryan Dutt bonuses out a wicket. Offbreak landed on a full length, turned away just a bit. Shakeel was on one knee and started the bat swing too early, he stopped midway but the ball had gone up by then. Dolly for Zulfiqar 158/431.6 gone, de Leede on fire. He's all glee, that luxuriant hair flapping under the Hyderabad sunshine. Wasn't too much to the delivery, but it was a tidy fourth stump line, and Iftikhar tries to poke at it, getting an outside edge through to the keeper, who takes an easy catch 188/646.2 Chaotic running. Too much happening. Somehow, it looks like that should be run out! Sent upstairs. Nawaz isn't in the picture as the throw from mid-on hits the striker's stumps direct! Okay, so the ball was very full. Shaheen went for the reverse, missed it, ball deflected off the arm to short fine. Nawaz took off for the run and was halfway down when he was sent back. Throw went to the bowler as Nawaz slid the bat in, bowler fumbled, ball went across and Shaheen took off for the run. Nawaz was late on going this time and the bullet throw ensured he didn't have any wiggle room. 267/943.4 Through him to rip off stump out the ground! De Leede's reverse swings it with Waqar Younis on air, promptly getting a mention as well. Full ball hooped in, beat the full-faced drive on the inside edge, deflected off the pads (would've been plumb lbw) onto middle and off. 252/743.5 Good shout for lbw. Given lbw after a little think by the ump. Review called for, early. Back of length at 129ks. Seam-up, seamed in too. Hasan tried to nudge it towards mid-on it looks like, but the ball was about 10-20 centimetres away from the inside edge and hit him over the knee-roll. Will height be an issue? Not with the on-field decision. Hawk-Eye predicts the ball to clip middle and De Leede on a hat-trick! 252/848.6 Stumping appeal. Sent upstairs. Looks a goner! Rauf charged again and Ackermann went wider and quick to york him. Rauf tried to broom a cover drive but was done for pace. Brilliant from Edwards to collect it and get it to the stumps despite being a bit off-balance. Replays show he jumped across to the right to collect the ball and then reach to the other side to dislodge the bails. 286/10Extras9 (nb 1, w 8)TOTAL286 all out (49 Overs, RR: 5.83)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Fakhar Zaman, 3.4 ov), 2-34 (Babar Azam, 8.3 ov), 3-38 (Imam-ul-Haq, 9.1 ov), 4-158 (Saud Shakeel, 28.1 ov), 5-182 (Mohammad Rizwan, 31.3 ov), 6-188 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 31.6 ov), 7-252 (Shadab Khan, 43.4 ov), 8-252 (Hasan Ali, 43.5 ov), 9-267 (Mohammad Nawaz, 46.2 ov), 10-286 (Haris Rauf, 48.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR23.5 Pulled high in the air, Fakhar runs to his diagonal right from deep midwicket and takes it! Around the wicket, 87ks, googly on middle, Vikramjit tried to whack it as hard as possible but skied it. Good catch too. Shadab was looking a bit flat but this has amped up his spirit. Beaming smiles as he celebrates 120/35.5 O'Dowd skies the pull to deep fine leg! Hasan strikes on Pakistani return. Bouncer at 130ks, Think that's his first bouncer Hasan's bowled today. In line with the stumps. O'Dowd swivelled and tried to go big but his reactions weren't quick enough. It was just over the right shoulder too, perfect direction from Hasan. Easy catch for Shaheen. 28/111.1 and strikes first ball! It's a poor shot, really. Stepped so far out of his crease Iftikhar only needed to bowl it at middle stump, and Ackermann was in no position to play that sweep shot. Misses, and it crashes into middle stump 50/233.2 gorgeous bowling, and that might be the game!. Finds a way to make it grip into the pitch, and it gets just enough turn as de Leede tried to guide it towards short third. It clunks into off stump, and with de Leede, Netherlands' hopes might just have gone up in smoke 164/726.2 Edged pull - four; middled pull - caught at deep-backward square! Looked like a cross seamer, into the pitch. At a good height for the shot but didn't get all of it. Hit from well inside the crease 133/426.4 Front pad blown, lbw given early! Edwards reviews. 148kph missile on a length, came in with with the angle after pitching around fourth. Edwards was stuck well in the crease and on the back foot. Ball beat the full-faced defence, hit above the knee-roll. No worries, it's still going on to hit leg stump. Double-strike. Is this the game-changing over?! 133/532.1 and he strikes first ball after drinks! Zulfiquar's tortured stay at the crease comes to an end! Stepped across the crease to flick it into the onside, and he's trapped in front of middle. There's no doubt about that one, and no real desire to review 158/635.6 he's gone. van der Merwe tried to get a quick single, but van Beek was never going to make that, so he turns him back. Rizwan whips off the bails, and van der Merwe's dive is unable to save him 176/837.1 Cleaned up right away, vintage celebrations from Hasan! Looked to have seamed in off a length, beat the defensive push with the straight bat on the inside edge. On-air comms mention reverse as well. Deflected off the pad onto off stump 184/940.6 Leg stump knocked out. Rauf points at the stump, gets low and roars. Van Meekeren smiles in acceptance. Length ball jagged in, beat the bat on the inside edge and demolished the stumps. 205/10Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL205 all out (41 Overs, RR: 5)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Max O'Dowd, 5.5 ov), 2-50 (Colin Ackermann, 11.1 ov), 3-120 (Vikramjit Singh, 23.5 ov), 4-133 (Teja Nidamanuru, 26.2 ov), 5-133 (Scott Edwards, 26.4 ov), 6-158 (Saqib Zulfiqar, 32.1 ov), 7-164 (Bas de Leede, 33.2 ov), 8-176 (Roelof van der Merwe, 35.6 ov), 9-184 (Aryan Dutt, 37.1 ov), 10-205 (Paul van Meekeren, 40.6 ov)
