David Payne to Shanaka, out Caught by Naseem Shah!! Off the edge and taken at short third man. Short of a length delivery angling away, Shanaka stepped out for a big hit, top edge only carries as far as the ring. Shanaka c Naseem Shah b David Payne 12(11) [6s-1]
Noor Ahmad to Nabi, out Bowled!! The youngster gets the President. Googly on the stumps, Nabi looks to slog across the line and misses, ball hits the stumps. This will surely dent the Capitals by at least 10 runs. That's what Nabi can do at the end. Nabi b Noor Ahmad 29(23) [4s-2 6s-2]
Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, out Bowled!! Revenge is sweet for the bowler. 6 4 4 and timbah! Length delivery, Powell backed himself to muscle another one over mid-wicket. He usually does as well but this time lost shape and missed the ball. Maybe it nipped away a tad as well. Ball hit the top of middle stump and the bowler is absolutely thrilled. Powell b Khuzaima Tanveer 39(22) [4s-4 6s-2]
Noor Ahmad to Willey, out Bowled!! It's Noor, it's his googly to the LHB and it's the stumps that have been disturbed. Quicker ball this time completely beating Willey on the slog-sweep. Ball sneaks through to hit middle and leg. Very important wicket as Willey could power some quick runs. Willey b Noor Ahmad 10(22)
Khuzaima Tanveer to S Jahangir, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! This could be the pitch doing the trick. He attempted a similar shot to the previous ball. This time it didn't swing so he thought he could play the original line but the ball seamed away off the pitch to surprise him on the shot and fly straight to mid-off off the leading edge. A deserved wicket for Khuzaima Tanveer though. Has moved the ball both ways and bowled really well. S Jahangir c Dan Lawrence b Khuzaima Tanveer 19(15) [4s-3]
David Payne to Jordan Cox, out Caught by Hetmyer!! In the airrr and Hety with a good bit of fielding again. Lovely catch rolling onto the ground. Ran quickly to the left, judged it nicely despite having to tumble. Length delivery from David Payne, Cox looked to smash, got it on the inside half of the bat and ball flew to squarer to deep square leg than intended. Jordan Cox c Hetmyer b David Payne 2(7)
Sam Curran to Gulbadin, out Caught&Bowled!! Oh stunner from Sam Curran. Just stuck his left hand out and plucks it off thin air. Does the Gulbadin Naib celebration by flexing both the biceps. Soft dismissal. Lengthth delivery just outside off stump, just a push from Gulbadin. Seemed like the ball stopped on him and he chipped it to the right of the bowler. Was the wrong side for Sam Curran and he was in his followthrough as well but he super quick with his reaction and made it look so smooth. Gulbadin c and b Sam Curran 0(1)
Naseem Shah to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Aravind!! This is a mishit, good running catch from deep point with fielders converging from the ring as well. Sediqullah plays an ill-advised shot across the line and perishes. On the way back he tells himself that he should have played that straighter. Length delivery angling away, Sediqullah tried to target mid-wicket, bat turned in his hands and the ball was sliced high just over point. Backward point and the man at cover were also keen for the catch but third man ran in quickly to pouch it safely. Sediqullah Atal c Aravind b Naseem Shah 16(13) [4s-2]
