4

85.5
Rankin to Amir, 1 run, straight delivery at the pads, Amir tucks it to square leg for a single
85.4
Rankin to Amir, no run, again there was no feet movement and he almost edges it to the keeper. It was a good length ball angling across Amir who played inside the line of the ball and the slight movement beats his outside edge
85.3
Rankin to Amir, no run, fuller length ball at the stumps, Amir stays in the crease and pushes to cover. Come on the front foot Amir
85.2
Rankin to Amir, no run, misses the flick on the pads, ball was going down the leg-side so there wasn't any major appeal from anyone
85.1
Rankin to Amir, no run, back of a length delivery at the body, Amir jumps in the crease slightly and blocks it back to the bowler
83.6
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, Faheem Ashraf almost fell into the trap. It was a bouncer and Faheem Ashraf mistimes the pull shot, fortunately for him ball falls short of the deep backward square leg fielder who collects on the bounce
83.5
Rankin to Amir, 1 run, taps the ball gently to cover and charges for a quick single
83.4
4
Rankin to Amir, FOUR, finds the outside edge but the ball rolls in the vacant slip region for a four. Was a beautiful ball that decked away from a short of length and squared up the batsman. Streaky but Amir won't mind it
83.3
Rankin to Amir, no run, on a good length and outside off, left alone
83.2
Rankin to Amir, no run, similar length, similar line and Amir is beaten in a similar way. Almost the action replay of the first ball
83.1
Rankin to Amir, no run, fuller length seaming away from Amir who was not on the front foot and late movement defeats his outside edge
81.6
Rankin to Amir, no run, a hint of awkward bounce but down leg, Amir looks to nudge it around the corner but can't connect and good effort by O'Brien, the keeper, to ensure that it wouldn't run away for byes
81.5
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, too straight, Ashraf nurdles it to mid on for a quick single
81.4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, fuller length delivery and just outside off, Faheem attempts to drive but mistimes to backward point
81.3
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, good length delivery and outside off, Faheem attempts to crack one through the line and down the ground but connects with thin air. He didn't exactly get into line to play the loft
81.2
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, a hint of inswing, defended watchfully
81.1
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, good length delivery and this one nibbles off the pitch and away from the left-handed batsman, who flirts at it and gets beaten
70.6
F
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, 2 runs, 50 for Faheem Ashraf on debut. And the Pakistani camp are delighted. Just a caress into the covers, good enough for two and the celebrations begin. Has been a chancy innings, but he has made the most of it - credit to him
70.5
4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, third boundary in a row. What an over. Full and into the pads, just needed a tickle, and Faheem Ashraf deftly leg-glanced it, fine leg was nowhere to be seen. Rankin continues to be expensive and this is now a very dangerous partnership for Ireland
70.4
4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, back to bowling dross. Short and wide outside off again, with no protection in the deep as well. This time Faheem Ashraf stands upright and cuts into the ground, wide of gully and gets four more
70.3
4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, what are you doing Niall O Brien? A chance goes abegging. Rankin has his hands on his head. Lovely bowling again, the perfect delivery, back of a length in the channel outside off, makes Faheem Ashraf play and the edge is found. Right to Wilson at first slip, until Niall O Brien dives across and doesn't get a glove on it either, Wilson is distracted by the keeper's movement and it ricochets off his hands and to the fence. What a miss
70.2
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, now bowls a lovely delivery in the corridor of uncertainty to beat an uncertain prod from Faheem Ashraf. Who got forward to push and the ball snaked past the edge
70.1
4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, filth from Rankin. Short and wide outside off, Faheem Ashraf cuts and does so in the air, Porterfield at gully diving to his left had no chance despite his best effort. Watches it race away
68.6
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, too early into the pull and it hits the toe of the bat as he completes the stroke. The ball came much later, rolls off the toe of the bat down the pitch
68.5
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, short of length on the stumps, defended
68.4
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, no run, short ball into the pitch, Faheem Ashraf does a decent job of handling that as he fends it down
68.3
Rankin to Shadab Khan, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Shadab Khan stands tall and punches square of the wicket for a run
68.2
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, good comeback. Gets this short of length delivery to nip back in sharply, misses the inside edge and hits the thigh pad. Going down
68.1
4
Rankin to Shadab Khan, FOUR, that is some statement from Shadab Khan. Can bat. This lad. Rocks back and pulls the short delivery in front of square. Isn't happy with the connection as he has a look at the toe of his bat after getting a boundary. Sarfraz cuddled under lots of jackets is seen shouting in encourgament
66.6
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, now is backing away to leg, can only bunt the short of length delivery into the pitch
66.5
Rankin to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, short at the body, pulled to fine leg
66.4
Rankin to Shadab Khan, 1 run, now is unlucky. The edge falls wide of the diving gully fielder. Looped up tantalisingly in the air after it took the bat splice, but the scrambling Porterfield can't get a hand on that from gully. Even Stirling from second slip tried his best. Dug in into the pitch and left Shadab Khan fending awkwardly at that
66.3
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, short of length and into the pitch, defended off the back foot
66.2

50.6
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, bumper, leg-stumpish, Shadab Khan ducks
50.5
4
Rankin to Shadab Khan, FOUR, this guy can bat. And now shows his prowess with a glorious strike. Pitched up delivery and Shadab Khan middled the off-drive. Mid-off had no chance in cutting that off
50.4
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, spills this down the leg-side and it beats Shadab's flick
50.3
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, good call from Sarfraz to send his partner back. A dab towards gully and Shadab Khan was looking for a non-existent single
50.2
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, Shadab Khan resists the temptation and lets go this short of a good length ball around the fifth stump channel
50.1
Rankin to Shadab Khan, no run, stump-to-stump line, Shadab Khan stonewalls it back to the bowler
48.6
Rankin to Sarfraz, no run, bumper down leg, and Sarfraz is down on his knees to sit underneath it
48.5
Rankin to Shadab Khan, 1 run, a nudge into the leg-side towards short mid-wicket and Shadab gets off the mark
48.4
W
Rankin to Shafiq, out Caught by Andy Balbirnie!! Oh, Shafiq what have you done? He must be cursing himself as he walks off. A tame dismissal. The short ball tactic from round the wicket has worked. It wasn't threatening by any means. Shafiq probably underestimated the bowler. Goes back to pull in the air and pays the price. Hit it straight to Balbirnie who collected it above his head. Five down! Shafiq c Andy Balbirnie b Rankin 62(121) [4s-8]
48.3
Rankin to Sarfraz, leg byes, 1 run, half-appeal for lbw from Rankin as Sarfraz missed the glance against a shortish ball on the pads. Pitched outside leg too. They scamper across
48.2

48.1
Rankin to Sarfraz, no run, Rankin continues the short ball stuff from round the wicket. Sarfraz ducks and evades

46.5
Rankin to Sarfraz, no run, angled across the right-hander, from a good length, blocked with soft hands
46.4

46.3
Rankin to Shafiq, 1 run, harmless short ball, on leg-stump, controlled swivel-pull to fine leg
46.2

46.1

44.6
4

44.1
Rankin to Shafiq, no run, wasted ball down the leg-side
44.1
Rankin to Shafiq, no ball, starts with a shortish ball on the hips, Shafiq defends on the leg-side. Well, Rankin has overstepped too... a big one too
42.6
4
Rankin to Sarfraz, leg byes, FOUR, Sarfraz shuffles across a long way to fine-glance this short of length delivery. Fails to make contact. The ball brushes Sarfraz's pad and Niall O'Brien gets an awkward bounce just in front of him. Could only get his right glove to it, which is no way sufficient to stop the ball from going into the fence
42.5
Rankin to Shafiq, 1 run, on the hips, tucked through backward square leg
42.4
Rankin to Sarfraz, 1 run, over the cordon, again! Rankin has his hands on his head. Sarfraz was looking to tuck it through the leg-side, the extra bounce caught the shoulder of the bat and took the ball over gully's head. Another cry of 'catch it' in vain
42.3
Rankin to Shafiq, 1 run, walks across tuck this straighter ball to backward square leg
42.2
Rankin to Shafiq, no run, very similar to the previous ball. Another cross-batted dab that goes to cover

37.4
Rankin to Babar Azam, 1 run, very full on middle and leg, wristed to square leg
37.3
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, what was that from Babar Azam? Shuffles across a bit and offers no shot to a back of a length delivery. Probably was expecting a short ball. Doesn't move away from the line and the ball thuds his thigh pad before going to backward square leg. Can't run for those
37.2
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, cut in from a length and Babar Azam didn't see that coming. He was late to bring his bat down, but managed to get some wood on it

35.6
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, another useless delivery. Way down the leg-side and Babar Azam just turns around to see the ball settle into the mitts of the keeper
35.5
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, wasted effort. Banged it short and erred in line. Down the leg-side
35.4
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, much better. Bowls length attacking the stumps, blocked
35.3
4
Rankin to Babar Azam, FOUR, back-to-back fours! Rankin over-corrects by offering width on this shortish ball. Babar Azam stands tall and scythes it through point
35.2
4
Rankin to Babar Azam, FOUR, you can't bowl there, he'll hit you all day. On the pads and Babar Azam has taken full toll of it. A shuffle across followed by a good-looking leg-glance through backward square leg
35.1
Rankin to Babar Azam, no run, hit-the-deck-hard shortish ball outside off, Babar Azam guides it behind square, can't beat gully

W
Rankin to Azhar Ali, out Caught by Porterfield!! Boyd Rankin takes the first Test wicket for Ireland! And, it's a big wicket. Rankin was disciplined from the first ball and he gets his reward. Back of a length delivery on off that squares up Azhar Ali as it decked away off the pitch. Azhar got into a tangle. An awkward jump and a poke. The outside edge is found and straight into the safe hands of skipper Porterfield at second slip. Azhar Ali c Porterfield b Rankin 4(23)
