- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.6 Cleaned him up! Floated length ball angling in on the off stump channel, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep early, misses the line and length, and crashes onto the top of the off stump. 41/30.2 Done him with the arm ball! Length ball a tad quicker around off, backs away and plays the square cut, connects the outside part of the bat and chips a regulation catch to the cover ring fielder. Golden duck for Naeem! 1/14.3 Shadab takes a blinder! Quicker ball is fired in around off, dances down the track and whacks it flat to the right of mid-off. Shadab timed his dive perfectly to his right, fully extending as the ball stuck firmly in his hands. It was a moment of pure individual brilliance from the skipper! The umpires are checking to ensure Shadab's catch was clean, but it looks perfectly fine from here, with the ball held firmly in his grip as he hit the ground. 27/28.1 Hermann's misery with the bat comes to an end! Bowls a sumptuous full toss ball on the stumps line, plays the slog sweep and mistimes the stroke straight to the deep midwicket sweeper fielder. I am fairly certain Hermann would have cleared the ropes with that delivery nine times out of ten, but it simply wasn't his day today! 41/415.3 Raza bites the dust! Quicker length ball on the stumps line, Raza gets down on one knee and tries to sweep it over the fine leg region, doesn't connect cleanly and chips it to short fine leg. Irshad dives forward from the edge of the circle and takes a brilliant catch! 91/711.6 Catching practice for the fielder there! Generously flighted fuller length ball, sits down on the track and plays the slog sweep, does not get quite hold of it and picks out the deep midwicket fielder. Faiq was standing a few yards in, moved forward a few more steps and completed the catch. 72/513.3 Green takes a ripper! Flighted length ball on the stumps line, Burl premeditates off the front foot across the line, connects the leading edge and strikes it wide of Green. Green judged the trajectory perfectly, diving at full stretch to his right to pluck the ball out of the air with one hand! 76/618.3 Straight up in the air and Conway gobbles it up! Hard length ball around off, Shaheen was running out of patience, threw his bat at the off-cutter ball and spliced it in the air, Conway moved a few steps backwards and completed the catch. 100/1017.1 Got him with the slower ball! Rauf was completely deceived by the floated slower low full toss delivery. Backing away in anticipation of a scorching bouncer, he tried to duck, only to leave all three stumps exposed for Gleeson to crash into with the pace off ball. 96/817.5 Straight through the gates! Yorker ball darted on the stumps line, pace on ball and Ubaid tried to play across the line, missed the length and the ball sneaked through past the bat-pad to crash into the middle stump. 99/9Extras13 (b 2, lb 6, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL100 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 5.4)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Mohammad Naeem, 0.2 ov), 2-27 (Abdullah Shafique, 4.3 ov), 3-41 (Haseebullah Khan, 7.6 ov), 4-41 (Rubin Hermann, 8.1 ov), 5-72 (Asif Ali, 11.6 ov), 6-76 (Ryan Burl, 13.3 ov), 7-91 (Sikandar Raza, 15.3 ov), 8-96 (Haris Rauf, 17.1 ov), 9-99 (Ubaid Shah, 17.5 ov), 10-100 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 18.3 ov)
