Mohammad Hasnain to Zahir Khan, OUT, knocks him over, does Hasnain. Easy pickings, this. Yorker onto off stump, which is way, way too good for Zahir. Even looked like it was shaping away as it crashes into the base of off stump

Mohammad Hasnain to Seymour, OUT, Hasnain strikes! There's some Pakistani interest in this contest yet! Full, fast, on the stumps, and you can see that baby face crack into a wide grin when the ball clatters into the stumps. Can he finish it off this over?
