- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 another flat bat shot but it results in his dismissal this time, he bangs it in short outside the off stump and he tries to pull it off the front foot but the ball hurries on to him and he slaps the ball and it carries to third man. 27/114.3 out this time, he goes straighter and gives it a bit more air, and he lofts it down the ground but straight to long-off. Another big wicket for Hong Kong 113/311.1 got him this time. Tries to slog it once more over deep midwicket, but it is straight and full and beats the heave. 85/217.2 another wicket for Hong Kong, shorter length on off stump, he attempts to pull it over midwicket but doesnt get enough bat on it nor does he time it well, finds long-on well inside the boundary 132/516.3 third time unlucky, ends up with a full ball on middle, which is smashed in the air to midwicket but a great catch by Kinchit on the midwicket boundary as he runs round from square leg and gets both hands on it. Najibullah thought he had enough on that 122/419.5 great catch again, full on middle, Nabi just about gets under it and swats it to long-on where Chapman runs around and takes an excellent diving catch 161/619.6 good yorker to end the innings, all he can do is keep it out as it rolls back to the bowler, and the batsman contemplate a suicidal run before Shafiqullah is sent back. Haseeb hits the stumps to find the batsman well short 161/7Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL161/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Mohammad Shahzad, 3.1 ov), 2-85 (Asghar Afghan, 11.1 ov), 3-113 (Nawroz Mangal, 14.3 ov), 4-122 (Najibullah Zadran, 16.3 ov), 5-132 (Samiullah Shinwari, 17.2 ov), 6-161 (Mohammad Nabi, 19.5 ov), 7-161 (Shafiqullah, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 the change in pace works, a lot slower and at a fuller length, Irfan aims to clear the infield but hits it down the throat of mid-on. No timing on that stroke 28/114.5 straight to long-off. Huge wicket. Bowls it outside off at a full length, Atkinson connects but doesn't time it well enough and picks out long-off to perfection. 98/312.3 gone this time! He sticks with the full length and the wide line outside off, Nizakat gives himself room again but connects this time with his cut. However, it flies off the outside half to third man. Good running catch from Mangal, too. 79/219.1 full and darted on leg, and Chapman picks it again and hits it well too, but deep midwicket is lurking and takes a good high-pressure catch. Match-changing ball that 146/419.5 high full toss again, Afzal finds no timing and hits the upper half of his bat and hits it back to Nabi. Nabi collects it and calmly runs to the non-strikers end. 160/5Extras13 (b 1, lb 8, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL162/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Irfan Ahmed, 4.3 ov), 2-79 (Nizakat Khan, 12.3 ov), 3-98 (Jamie Atkinson, 14.5 ov), 4-146 (Mark Chapman, 19.1 ov), 5-160 (Tanwir Afzal, 19.5 ov)
