- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 terrific return catch - Vincent driving hard on the up and Fawad is quick to get his hands to the ball 50/110.3 now this is a big wicket - rapped low and clearly on off, McCullum trying to sweep and missing completely 74/213.1 outside off, Styris lifts up off the bottom of his bat but can't clear the cover boundary - the ball goes up straight and back down into the hands of Sohail way inside the rope 85/313.3 two in three balls now for Gul as Fulton, standing straight, doesn't get over the ball and pops a straightforward catch to cover 87/414.6 goes to clear long-off again with the huge lift off the bottom of the bat, but - like Styris earlier - did not get the distance and Shoaib stays firm, and strong, to take the catch yards in from the rope 104/515.6 round the wicket again, angling in, with some lift too, and Oram's would-be carve over mid-on takes a big snick through to Akmal 106/616.2 wristed to midwicket, then a horrible mix-up: Vettori turning down the second and then sacrificing himself - walking out of his crease to allow Taylor to get back in 107/718.6 yet another calamitous mix-up and Bond now sacrifices himself for Taylor - a drive out to cover and they come back for the two, but there was only ever one-and-a-half on at most 126/8Extras6 (lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL143/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Did not bat: MR GillespieFall of wickets: 1-50 (Lou Vincent, 7.5 ov), 2-74 (Brendon McCullum, 10.3 ov), 3-85 (Scott Styris, 13.1 ov), 4-87 (Peter Fulton, 13.3 ov), 5-104 (Craig McMillan, 14.6 ov), 6-106 (Jacob Oram, 15.6 ov), 7-107 (Daniel Vettori, 16.2 ov), 8-126 (Shane Bond, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 and they've got the breakthrough! Taufel raises where Harper declined. Hafeez was down in position to sweep, moving outside off stump, and struck in front of middle. Fair enough, and that's timely to say the least 60/112.2 had to go this time - tried to sweep a faster delivery, swooping very low in doing so, and was rapped straight in front of off 96/213.3 backed away to try to cut a straight one and got a thin edge through which McCullum snapped tidily 104/314.3 gone this time, though - driven flat on the up straight to Fulton at mid-off 111/4Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL147/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (Mohammad Hafeez, 7.1 ov), 2-96 (Imran Nazir, 12.2 ov), 3-104 (Younis Khan, 13.3 ov), 4-111 (Shahid Afridi, 14.3 ov)
