- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.2 taken at deep midwicket. Gets one that rises on him and cramps him near the mid-riff. He goes for the big pull over midwicket but gets under it too much. The fielder runs in and takes a composed catch 107/21.4 right through Denly as he plays outside the line. The length ball nips back in off the seam to beat the inside edge and flatten the off stump. Denly erred in his footwork, may have been better off playing forward. In this case, he was rooted to the crease and pushed away from the body. 6/116.6 high and taken at deep midwicket. That's the end of Babar Azam. Short of a length on middle stump and it's getting clear that the pull shot is a difficult option on this pitch. He takes it on and ends up slicing it in a similar fashion to Khurram's dismissal 118/415.6 loud appeal for caught-behind is followed by a review as the umpire turns it down. It's a short ball slanted across the corridor and he looks to pull. Looks like there's a tickle...yes, there's a disturbance on the replay as the ball passes bat. Ingram is caught behind 110/317.5 length on middle stump, nudged in front of long-on. He's looking to try and steal a second but Walton has done superbly to stoop down on this and fire it to Ronchi. Bopara puts in a dive and he's caught an inch short. So close but so good from Walton. Bopara nearly pulled that off 126/518.6 bowled him! Imad gets an inside edge onto middle stump. This ball is at a hitting length but it's angled across him. He looks to play a pick-up shot over fine leg and can't get the middle on it 138/6Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL153/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Joe Denly, 1.4 ov), 2-107 (Khurram Manzoor, 15.2 ov), 3-110 (Colin Ingram, 15.6 ov), 4-118 (Babar Azam, 16.6 ov), 5-126 (Ravi Bopara, 17.5 ov), 6-138 (Imad Wasim, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.5 excellent reflex-action catch on his followthrough. This is a full toss on middle, Ronchi made room to go over the bowler's head but ended up hitting it straight back. Irfan struck his right hand out to pluck that even as the momentum took him forward. You feel, however, that Ronchi's blitz tonight has well and truly taken the game away from Karachi. 104/113.4 the angle has done the trick. Amir slants this back in at length from wide of the crease, there's a hint of deviation away as it beats the outside edge to crash into the stumps. Talat was looking to run this down 117/2Extras8 (lb 6, w 2)TOTAL156/2 (17.2 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-104 (Luke Ronchi, 10.5 ov), 2-117 (Hussain Talat, 13.4 ov)
