Waqar Salamkheil to Imad Wasim, out Caught by Holder!! Another one bites the dust. Fullish leggie, Imad Wasim miscues the loft due to the spin. Takes the outer part of the bat and hence the timing isn't spot-on. It's a sitter for Holder long-off. Wicket number four for Waqar Salamkheil. Imad Wasim c Holder b Waqar Salamkheil 11(13) [6s-1]

Holder to Jayden Seales, no run, appeal for lbw, turned down and Holder is quick to review it. Yorker length from over the wicket, Seales is struck on the front leg as he's late on the clip. Clearly no bat. And, ball-tracking shows it to be pitching outside leg. The Patriots have now lost both their reviews

Holder to AM Ghazanfar, out Lbw!! Quick, full, on the stumps and that's out. Almost in the blockhole, Ghazanfar clears his front leg to swing across the line. The bat is pretty far away from the ball. Gets hit low on the back leg adjacent to the stumps and the umpire wastes little time to raise his finger. Well, well, ball-tracking shows it to be missing leg! The Falcons didn't even think of reviewing it. AM Ghazanfar lbw b Holder 1(5)

Waqar Salamkheil to Odean Smith, out Bowled!! Timber! Fletcher does a little jig behind the stumps. More revs on this occasion as Waqar Salamkheil bowls it fuller.

Waqar Salamkheil to Shakib, out Caught by Holder!! Second wicket for Waqar Salamkheil. Full delivery, Shakib makes room to loft and chips this non-turner straight to long-off.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Karima Gore, out Caught by Fletcher!! This one has gone a mile up in the air, Fletcher - the man with the gloves - calls for it, runs forward towards the point region and pouches safely. Farooqi comes back to dismiss the half-centurion.

Waqar Salamkheil to Fabian Allen, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Waqar Salamkheil bowls the leggie on this occasion. Quicker one on a length, pitches just outside off and spins back in. Fabian Allen is stuck in his crease and is late to bring his bat down. Don't think he picked the leggie. Beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashes into the off-stump. Waqar Salamkheil strikes in his first over. Fabian Allen b Waqar Salamkheil 12(10) [6s-1]
