Sami to Rizwan, SIX, wow! What a shot from Rizwan. Right off the meat. Sami sticks to length ball and Rizwan loads up to smoke it into the deep mid-wicket stands. Fierce striking!

Faheem Ashraf to Imad Wasim, out Bowled!! Third wicket for Ashraf. Waqar Younis had a few words of wisdom to say to him before the game and that seems to be paying rich dividends. Full just outside off, Wasim with his feet cemented to the crease sought for an ambitious drive. Inward zip and Wasim gets an inside edge onto his stumps. Karachi losing gas towards the end. Imad Wasim b Faheem Ashraf 10(6) [4s-2]

Faheem Ashraf to Rizwan, FOUR, wayward line from Ashraf. Drifts it down leg, too short. Rizwan pulls it past square leg

Faheem Ashraf to Imad Wasim, FOUR, french-cut and four. "Can't set a field for that," admits Alan Wilkins on air. Full and darted back in, Wasim goes hard and inside edge goes teasing past the stumps

Sami to Bopara, out Bopara Run Out!! 1 run completed. Flat and accurate throw at the keeper's end and Bopara is gone. There was never a second run there and Bopara is well short. Shaved towards long-on and chanced Walton's arm, took off for the second. Walton has a rocket arm and the Englishman is a couple of inches short of his crease as Ronchi whips the bails off in a flash. Bopara run out (Walton/Ronchi) 8(5) [4s-1]

Sami to Imad Wasim, FOUR, Dean Jones in the sidelines is not happy. Gestures to the fielder to stay near the edge of the ring. Short and outside off, Wasim punches it through extra cover, beats the fielder and runs away to the fence

W
Talat to Babar Azam, out Caught by Asif Ali!! That's how fielding coaches give catches before the game and Asif Ali makes no mistake. Looked like the slower short ball, Azam went for the pull and had to generate some power because of lack of pace. Fails and picks out Asif at deep mid-wicket. End of a fabulous innings from Azam. Babar Azam c Asif Ali b Talat 55(53) [4s-3 6s-2]

Talat to Bopara, FOUR, lovely from Bopara. Gets off the mark with a boundary. Shortish outside off, Bopara takes a step forward and makes room to slap it fiercely through extra cover

Faheem Ashraf to Ingram, out Caught by Ronchi!! Loud, optimistic appeal for a caught-behind. Not given by umpire. They review. No issues with the front foot. Is there a nick? Only Ultra-Edge can confirm it and yes, there's a spike. Marching orders has been passed and Ingram has been sent packing back to the hut. Faheem was very confident and cajoled Misbah to take the review. Pays off. Back of a length and curved back in a bit. Ingram looks to pull it from the crease and ends up getting a feather. Faint under-edge and it's been spotted by Ultra-Edge. Ingram c Ronchi b Faheem Ashraf 1(2)

W
Faheem Ashraf to Manzoor, out Caught by Sahibzada Farhan!! End of 101-run stand. Manzoor falls right after raising his half-century. Looks to step up the pedal and in the process, mistimes and holes out to deep mid-wicket. Lost his shape and skews it off the splice, hence no timing. Manzoor c Sahibzada Farhan b Faheem Ashraf 51(41) [4s-6 6s-1]

Samit Patel to Manzoor, FOUR, and now it is the turn of Manzoor to bring up his fifty. Gets there in style; with a spanking drive through extra cover

Samit Patel to Babar Azam, 1 run, fifty for Azam. Slow and patient knock from Azam. Gets the landmark with a nurdle off the hips to the man at 45

Samit Patel to Babar Azam, SIX, Azam teeing off now. Patel tosses it up with more air, Azam's eyes light up and blasts it straight down the ground. Gigantic!

Talat to Manzoor, SIX, Manzoor connects and connects well. Slower ball, but too full and in the arc for Manzoor. Swung with ferocity over long-on
12.3
4
Shadab Khan to Babar Azam, FOUR, in the air and both fielders wait for each other to go for the catch. Misbah gestures them to call for it. Anyway, another blip from United. Azam miscues a mow, skies it towards deep mid-wicket. Both fielders from long-on and deep mid-wicket converge, no calling and the deep mid-wicket fielder eventually goes for it. Shells it and to make matters worse, fails to get his body behind the line. Runs away to the fence

Talat to Manzoor, FOUR, consecutive boundaries for Manzoor, he is on the move. Talat goes full and wide of off, Manzoor bends his back knee and smashes it over extra cover
11.5

Talat to Manzoor, FOUR, lethargic effort from Walton. Manzoor after triggering his back leg, biffs this length ball powerfully to long-on. Walton was lazy to bend low in time and lets it through is fingers. Shambolic! Considering he is one of the best fielders in the United side
10.5

Shadab Khan to Babar Azam, SIX, much better. Is anchored to the crease, just extends his arms and smashes it downtown over the bowler's head. Straight-six

Faheem Ashraf to Babar Azam, FOUR, Azam flexes his muscles. Sets up a solid base on leg-stump, clears his front leg and whacks this length ball over mid-wicket
3.5

Sami to Manzoor, FOUR, edged but no slip. Sami is not happy. On a length and outside off, Manzoor seemed to have intentionally jabbed at it with hard hands. Genuine edge and it flew through the vacant first slip region

Sami to Manzoor, FOUR, this will get Manzoor going. Hit-me ball - a wide half-volley outside off. Manzoor creams it stylishly through extra cover
2.3

Samit Patel to Manzoor, FOUR, half-tracker and Manzoor will not miss out on those. That won't please Misbah. Short on the stumps, Manzoor rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket. In the gap and he will collect four

Sami to Babar Azam, FOUR, "That is a delightful piece of timing," says Danny-Funky-Morrison on air. Half-volley on the stumps, bread and butter for Azam. Just gets across and whips it neatly through mid-wicket

Sami to Denly, out Bowled!! First-pump celebration from Sami. Denly departs early. Excellent delivery from Sami, gets this one to deck back in from a length. Denly was caught napping - neither forward nor back. Big gap between bat and pad, the new cherry skids through beating his inside edge and knocking the off-stump out of his groove. Denly b Sami 4(3) [4s-1]

Samit Patel to Denly, FOUR, Denly is off the mark with a boundary. Patel overpitches a touch and drills it through extra cover. Russell from long-off runs across, wasn't too far from him but then he decides against putting a dive. Strange considering he gives his 100 percent everytime he is on the field. Oh wait, he's pulled a hammy I guess. Clutching to his knee and seems to be in some discomfort. Calls for the physio and prefers to be on the sidelines as the sub fielder rushes in
