Ali Khan to Ishan Malhotra, FOUR, fullish ball, hammers straight down the ground. The umpire has to take evasive action. Did well to step away. That was struck really hard. Stand and deliver. What a way to get off the mark

Ali Khan to Mosaddek Hossain, out Javed Ahmadi Run Out!! Ali Khan nails the direct hit at the keeper's end and Javed Ahmadi is a goner! Full and angling in, Mosaddek looks to flick and gets an inside edge onto his pad and the ball rolls into the off-side. The bowler is swift to get to the ball and hits the bullseye to catch Ahmadi short of his crease. Easy one for the TV umpire. Javed Ahmadi run out (Ali Khan) 24(19) [4s-2 6s-1]

Amad Butt to Hafeez, FOUR, bad ball! A hit-me delivery. Rank full toss on leg and Hafeez takes heavy toll of it by whipping it away through square leg
2.4
Amad Butt to Javed Ahmadi, 1 run, off-speed length ball, slapped back to the bowler. Butt picks it up, turns and has a shy at the non-striker's end. Misses the target and the batsmen take a single on overthrows. A direct hit would have been curtains for Hafeez

F Edwards to Laurie Evans, out Caught by Nabi!! Edwards has the last laugh! Mid-on was moved to long-on and Evans falls right into the trap. Smart bowling too. Took the pace off this full ball and Laurie Evans doesn't pick it. Backs himself to clear long-on with a loft but ends up hitting it straight down Nabi's throat. Laurie Evans c Nabi b F Edwards 11(6) [4s-1 6s-1]
