- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Cleaned him up with a ripper! Yorker ball, a sandshoe crusher, that shapes in sharply from outside off and Rizwan is stuck inside the crease to play across the line, beaten all ends up and crashes onto the middle stump. Unplayable delivery! 15/21.4 Faiq takes a brilliant catch! A tad fuller length ball on the stumps swinging away, plays across the line against the seam movement, thickish outside edge and hits it flat to the right of backward point. Faiq dives to his right side fully stretched and holds on to it. 4/111.4 Edged and through to the keeper! Slower ball does the trick again. Ghulam got to his fifty but never seemed comfortable out there. Off-cutter ball outside off, wild swing of the bat away from the body and only manages to nick it to Conway behind the stumps. 78/49.6 Gets him with the slower bouncer! Pace off shortish delivery and Mitchell plays the swivel pull shot, gets the leading edge and Chapman covered plenty of ground from deep square leg to gobble it up diving forward. Two fielders were converging, Conway and Chapman, but it was the latter one's call and he took it wonderfully. 66/314.3 That's plumb! Slower through the air ball on the stumps, Billings plays the reverse sweep and misses the length, thuds the pad in front of the stumps and the umpire raises his finger. Billings opts to review it. No bat is involved, there is a daylight gap between the bat and the ball, all three reds and striking the middle stump. 96/516.2 Taken at deep cover! Fuller length ball around off, plays the big heave stroke but this time splices it towards deep cover. Minhas comes around and gathers the ball comfortably. 117/618.4 Taken at long on! Pace off widish fuller length ball, once again Rishad backs away early and tries to reach the ball with extended arms, toe-ends the ball high in the air and Green completes the catch. 135/7Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL156/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Yasir Khan, 1.4 ov), 2-15 (Mohammad Rizwan, 3.5 ov), 3-66 (Daryl Mitchell, 9.6 ov), 4-78 (Kamran Ghulam, 11.4 ov), 5-96 (Sam Billings, 14.3 ov), 6-117 (Abdullah Fazal, 16.2 ov), 7-135 (Rishad Hossain, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 Conway departs! Length ball from over the wicket, pace off ball, premeditates the flick stroke and miscues it towards Ghulam at deep midwicket near the ropes; the bottom hand goes off after striking the ball. Amir roars in celebration after taking the wicket. 58/19.1 Toe-ends the ball straight to Mitchell! Pace off bouncer delivery, plays the heave stroke half-heartedly and mistimes the stroke, hits it straight and flat to Mitchell at long on, who makes no mistake. 92/211.3 Chips it to mid-on! Flighted length ball around off, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, connects the inner part of the bat and hits it straight to Mitchell at the edge of the circle. 112/3Extras12 (lb 4, w 8)TOTAL157/3 (14.2 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Devon Conway, 5.1 ov), 2-92 (Sameer Minhas, 9.1 ov), 3-112 (Mohammad Faiq, 11.3 ov)
