- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 Roy's stumbling innings ends. A real struggle. Absurd because there are seaming, not spinning, conditions. A length delivery outside off, moves back in after pitching, hurries Roy for pace, the ball creeps past the under edge and hit off stump. 30/22.5 picks out long-on! Flat and quick, Watson goes back and looks to pull again, but is slightly hurried on the pull. The timing is awry, the placement is not good and Watson goes. 19/114.2 taken by Hales at the long-off boundary! Full and wide outside off, Amin backs away and looks to hit the ball over cover but can't get enough timing behind it. The ball skews off the outside half to the fielder 105/46.6 Pietersen now perishes. A full delivery outside off, Pietersen runs down, looking for his typical drag-flick into the leg side but the ball is just too far wide outside off. Takes the inside edge and an easy catch for the keeper. 41/315.1 misses a full toss does Sarfraz. He backs away, opening up the off side, but the bowler may have been looking for the yorker and gets it very wrong. Sarfraz may have been taken aback by that level of misdirection, the ball beats him for pace and hits off and middle stump 111/516.1 chips his wicket away to mid-off. A full delivery outside off, Anwar Ali drives on the up but finds Duminy at mid-off. A tame shot, a soft dismissal. He didn't go through with the shot nor did he keep it down 118/616.5 and another batsman chipping his wicket away. On a length around middle and leg, Nawaz backs away and drives on the up. But his timing isn't great, nor is his placement.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.5 short ball close to off stump, right in his slot to pull, and he ends up pulling it in the air, straight to the man at deep midwicket. A wicket against the run of play for Quetta 129/41.6 got him! Back of a length, once again he cuts down the width, and Ronchi, trying that dab to third man once again, only manages a bottom-edge into his stumps 13/16.6 gone! That's quite an astonishing shot, actually - not a short ball at all, it was probably heading for the top of off or middle stump, and he simply whips it with the inward angle, hard and flat, times it beautifully, but straight into the hands of the fielder at long leg 58/211.6 bowled him! Shadab wanted to hang back and steer this one to third man, and ends up playing slightly inside the line. It's just a straight ball angled into the top of off stump, and he plays it with half a bat. He misses, and Watson hits 85/3Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL149/4 (18.2 Overs, RR: 8.12)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Luke Ronchi, 1.6 ov), 2-58 (Alex Hales, 6.6 ov), 3-85 (Shadab Khan, 11.6 ov), 4-129 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 16.5 ov)
