Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, what a way to end the innings. 5 fours in a row and now Jawadullah is shaking his head. This is a half-volley outside off, Fakhar Zaman gets forward and lofts over extra-cover and ends the innings on a high. 22 off the last over

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, make that four in a row. More luck for Fakhar Zaman. A back of a length delivery on off, Fakhar swipes across the line and the thick outside-edge now goes well wide of Rahul Chopra and short third man. Muhammad Waseem is not a happy man, he just shakes his head

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. A low full-toss just outside off, Fakhar Zaman shuffles across and scoops it over short fine, boundaries leaking and Fakhar is on fire. But this poor bowling one must say

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Fakhar Zaman slogs across the line and it's a thick outside-edge that flies over short third man, Fakhar gets lucky but that's how this format goes

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, more deft batting. Full on middle, Fakhar Zaman gets inside the line, scoops it over short fine, used the field well

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, full outside off, Fakhar Zaman gets forward and slices the loft, wide of long-off for two

Junaid Siddique to Nawaz, SIX, another gift from Junaid Siddique. A low full-toss outside off, Nawaz gets forward and lofts it all the way over deep extra-cover, a flat hit and just clears the fence. 20 off the over

Junaid Siddique to Nawaz, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. A low full-toss outside off, Nawaz gets forward and throws the bat, the thick outside-edge flies wide of short third man. Too much width and Nawaz is in no mood to let it go

Junaid Siddique to Nawaz, FOUR, full outside off, Nawaz shuffles across and scoops it over short third man, manipulated the field and it's one bounce over the ropes

Junaid Siddique to Nawaz, FOUR, Junaid Siddique misses the yorker length and it's a half-volley outside off, Nawaz gets forward and carves it over cover, runs away to the fence

Junaid Siddique to Nawaz, 1 run, very full outside off, Nawaz gets forward to drive to long-off

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, full and wide outside off, Fakhar Zaman gets forward and opens the face of the bat on the drive, clears the leaping backward point, just had enough on it, consecutive fours

Jawadullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, so sloppy from Waseem at long-on. No wonder he kicks the cushions in frustration. Was at best two.

Junaid Siddique to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, it's in the slot outside off, full and Fakhar Zaman gets forward to loft and it's all the way over long-off, clean strike

Haider Ali to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, oh another drop! Sloppy work in the field! Fired in full, Zaman can't get under it as he tries launching it down the ground, fails to get much elevation and hits it only as far as long-on. Waseem, the captain, makes a meal of it

Haider Ali to Nawaz, 1 run, dropped! Swept in the air, doesn't get enough and should've been a simple catch at deep backward square. But the fielder shells it

Haider Ali to Nawaz, SIX, down on one knee and nails the slog-sweep! It's fired in around off, length is full and Nawaz smashes it over midwicket

Dhruv Parashar to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Zaman reaches and slices the cut behind square on the outside edge. Siddique gives chase but can only escort the ball to the fence

Haider Ali to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Rahul Chopra!! Second wicket for Haider Ali. Pakistan are five down and in trouble. This is excellent bowling. He beat the bat on the first ball and this time finds the edge. Very similar both deliveries. Flighted close to off, Nawaz is reluctant to come forward and tries to defend from the crease, the ball spins away and takes a thin outside edge, Chopra hangs on to a sharp catch behind the stumps. Hasan Nawaz c Rahul Chopra b Haider Ali 4(6)

Haider Ali to Mohammad Haris, out Lbw!! Haider Ali is pumped. He runs away shouting "come on". Haris was all at sea against Haider Ali and he succumbs. Picks a very full delivery to play the sweep, misses and is struck in-line with the stumps, the impact was around off and the ball was definitely hitting the stumps. They have broken this small partnership that was building. Mohammad Haris lbw b Haider Ali 14(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

Dhruv Parashar to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, no no! That's poor. Short and wide outside off, Zaman reaches for the cut and slices it towards short third, the ball lands in front of the fielder and he allows it to go past him

Muhammad Rohid Khan to Mohammad Haris, SIX, wow! That's come right off the screws. Fuller than good length and close to off, Haris shuffles a bit and heaves it across the line, struck it flat and all the way over deep square leg

Jawadullah to Mohammad Haris, FOUR, short of length delivery, sits up nicely and Haris does not miss out, gets on top of the bounce and rolls his wrists over to nail the pull in front of square

Muhammad Rohid Khan to Salman Agha, out Caught by Rahul Chopra!! There's his reward. He is elated. Credit to Waseem for keeping Rohid on for a third over. He has picked Pakistan's skipper and reduced them to three down within the powerplay. Back of a length delivery, slanted across and there's also a bit of away nip, Agha tries to steer it to third man and gets it off the shoulder of the bat, another simple catch for Chopra. UAE are cock-a-hoop. Salman Agha c Rahul Chopra b Muhammad Rohid Khan 7(5) [4s-1]

Muhammad Rohid Khan to Salman Agha, FOUR, oh no! That's unlucky. Rohid has bowled superbly without any reward. This was a beauty. Full pitcher at the stumps, Agha is drawn into the push and the ball nips away to take the outside edge, flies to the right of Chopra and through the vacant slip cordon

Junaid Siddique to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, smashed! Short of length angled across, there was readymade width on offer and Zaman cashes in, he extends his hands and flat-bats it over long-on

Junaid Siddique to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Rahul Chopra!! Finally Ayub's luck runs out. He was troubled right through his innings by Rohid and it is Siddique who reaps the reward. Full pitcher and angled across, Ayub can't help himself but to go for the drive, gets a thick outside edge and Rahul Chopra takes a simple catch. Both openers back in the hut and this is turning into a good start for UAE. Saim Ayub c Rahul Chopra b Junaid Siddique 11(10) [6s-1]

Muhammad Rohid Khan to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, shot! No swing on this one and Zaman is all over it. On a length and outside off, not quite in the driving arc, but Zaman plays this on the rise and creams it through extra cover

Dhruv Parashar to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Ethan DSouza!! Well, well! Parashar proves this was the right move. He gets struck for a couple of sixes but has removed Farhan. He's pumped. This was dragged short once again and Farhan winds up for the pull, gets it high on the bat and the ball skies towards deep mid-wicket, Ethan moves to his right and sits down to take a good low catch. Sahibzada Farhan c Ethan DSouza b Dhruv Parashar 16(11) [4s-2 6s-1]

Dhruv Parashar to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, now Farhan has a piece of Parashar. Was an over from the spinner needed? The ball was swinging.. Parashar drags this short and Farhan is quick to pounce, he rocks back and hammers the pull wide of long-on

Dhruv Parashar to Saim Ayub, SIX, wow! That's outta here. This should get Ayub going. Flighted delivery on middle, Ayub sits down and launches the slog sweep towards deep mid-wicket. Sends the ball sailing out of the ground and does not even look where it ended up

Junaid Siddique to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, second boundary in the over. Short and outside off, this time Farhan shuffles across, fetches the pull and nails it in front of square

Junaid Siddique to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, Farhan is off and running thanks to a misfield. Short and outside off, Farhan gets on top of the bounce and cracks it to cover, the fielder is beaten for pace as the ball races away..
