Naseem Shah to Dasun Shanaka, SIX, mighty hit. It's a slower-ball off-cutter and full outside off, Dasun Shanaka gets forward and lofts, slices it, hits it with so much power and it just crosses the ropes at wide long-off. He can hit them a mile. Picked the slower-ball so early and well

Naseem Shah to Charith Asalanka, SIX, that is a mad shot! He was struggling to get the timing right and suddenly played a great pull shot to send the ball soaring over deep backward square leg. Naseem will be livid he didn't end the powerplay well

Naseem Shah to Kamil Mishara, no run, very full delivery, Mishara drives and picks out cover

Naseem Shah to Pathum Nissanka, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! What was that from Nissanka? Slower ball full and wide. Pathum Nissanka had already backed away so it was so smart of Naseem Shah to take it wide of off stump. Nissanka had no base to generate any power and he just hung his bat out in hope of trying to clear the infield. All he did was scoop it to extra-cover, who only had to take a step or two pouch this. Naseem Shah roars and Pakistan have a good start with the ball as well. Brilliant back of the hand slower ball. Key was he spotted Nissanka move away way too early. Pathum Nissanka c Mohammad Nawaz b Naseem Shah 3(7)
