- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 tucks him up and beats him for pace! He was cramped for room, and looked to jab it away, only to get the top edge. He could only watch as it flies up to Azam Khan, who takes a straightforward catch with the gloves 89/26.3 Shadab strikes with his first ball to Fakhar Zaman! It looked like it was in the slot, and Fakhar targeted the long-on region he clears so frequently. But he doesn't get enough power on it, and Faheem takes a simple catch at long-on to end a stuttering innings from Lahore's talisman 67/117.2 Knocked him over! The slower one does Shafique in. On a length outside off, 113.3kph, bowled back of the hand, Shafique goes for an across-the-line hoick and chops it on 162/318.5 Naseem gets his man as consolation. Full and on middle, Wiese goes downtown but finds Hales at long-on. Naseem has a few words to say to the batter 178/419.6 In the slot but hits it on the bounce to long-on. Afridi hares back for the second but Salman's throw to the bowler is above the stumps and he is short.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 this one looks to be adjacent and the umpire agrees! Full and straight, and Munro doesn't manage to connect as it hits him on the back pad. Height isn't an issue, but Munro believes it may be going down and reviews. But it's umpire's call on impact as well as where it's hitting the stumps, so he departs 41/17.2 slapped back and Fayyaz takes a sharp catch off his own bowling! Fayyaz is claiming it but Hales is going nowhere for now. And we go upstairs He's caught it cleanly all right, and Hales has to go now 62/2Extras21 (b 4, lb 8, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL200/2 (18.2 Overs, RR: 10.9)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Colin Munro, 4.6 ov), 2-62 (Alex Hales, 7.2 ov)
