- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 sharp catch by Umar Akmal! Afridi fired that a bit quicker outside off, Sadiq tries to drove but gets a thin outside edge and the ball sits nicely behind Akmal's gloves, he didn't have much time to react 88/44.4 the slowness of the pitch got him, he went right across his stumps to defend but the ball came on a bit slower than he would have expected, he ends up spooning it back to Gul, the ball really stopped on Noor there 23/19.2 terrific catch! Shahzad tries to capitalise on the width outside off and carve it over the off side, he was well forward and the ball travelled quickly but Shafiq timed his leap at point and plucked it, excellent reflexes 54/213.2 poor shot from the captain, Afridi floated it on the stumps and Mangal made himself room to loft down the ground, the ball kept low and thudded onto the middle stump, Mangal had exposed the woodwork and after he was bowled he shadow-practiced the shot he intended to play 71/334.4 a run-out halts what was shaping up to be a healthy stand, he clips it down towards midwicket and Nabi charges off is crease and has to turn back, he tries to make his ground at the bowler's end, he dives and the throw by Younis Khan is accurate to Hafeez and the third umpire confirms it 147/621.3 Afridi gets his fourth! Tossed up on off and it's a googly, Naib is forward and the ball strikes him in front of middle, Taufel raises the finger 101/547.1 Shenwari tries to get very innovative and moves right across his stumps and tries to paddle a full toss wide of short fine leg, the ball clips his pads in front of the stumps, he appears to show his bat to the umpire but Taufel was convinced the ball snuck past the bat 193/941.2 yet another five-for for Afridi! The sharp googly is too good for Ashraf, jags back in from wide outside off and catches Ashraf flush on the pad in front of the stumps 165/746.5 the middle stump goes for a toss! Zadran stands wide outside the leg stump to give himself room, Riaz gets some reverse swing and beats the bat, the stump goes back a few yards 193/848.3 this time Akmal gets his man! Hotak chips down the track and gets an outside edge on the drive, Akmal takes the low catch and basically pleads with the umpire but he didn't have to wait too long for the umpire's decision 195/10Extras13 (b 4, lb 5, w 4)TOTAL195 all out (48.3 Overs, RR: 4.02)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Noor Ali Zadran, 4.4 ov), 2-54 (Mohammad Shahzad, 9.2 ov), 3-71 (Nawroz Mangal, 13.2 ov), 4-88 (Karim Sadiq, 15.5 ov), 5-101 (Gulbadin Naib, 21.3 ov), 6-147 (Mohammad Nabi, 34.4 ov), 7-165 (Mirwais Ashraf, 41.2 ov), 8-193 (Dawlat Zadran, 46.5 ov), 9-193 (Samiullah Shinwari, 47.1 ov), 10-195 (Amir Hamza, 48.3 ov)
