Cutting to Shirzad, 1 run, length ball on off, Shirzad taps it back to Cutting and runs. All Cutting had to do was hold onto the ball and there was a run-out for the taking. But he couldn't even do that

Naveen-ul-Haq to Naveed, out Bowled!! Deceives Naveed with the slower ball. It took a long time to arrive, Naveed wanted to dab it to third man but lost his shape. The ball slides past his inside edge onto middle and leg. Naveed b Naveen-ul-Haq 1(3)

Mujeeb to Wessels, FOUR, cuts hard, the edge flies over Rahmat Shah at slip who put his hands up - as much in self-defence as in looking for the catch

Zahir Khan to Asghar Afghan, out Bowled!! Another one goes and it's the Afghanistan captain this time. Going from bad to worse for the Knights. Turning in on leg, Afghan plays down the wrong line. It turns past his inside edge, deflects off the pad and onto the stumps. Asghar Afghan b Zahir Khan 4(8)

Rimmington to Nasir Jamal, out Lbw!! Back of a length, Jamal plays right across the line of it and is trapped right in front of off. Nasir Jamal lbw b Rimmington 3(8)

Devcich to Asghar Afghan, 1 run, squeezes out the yorker wide of the bowler, almost a suicidal single as Devcich pounces on the ball. Afghan was miles out had he connected the direct hit

Mujeeb to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Shafiqullah!! The universe is conspiring for Shafiqullah, who is finding the most bizarre strokes of luck behind the stumps. McCullum squared by a ball that straightens, gets the edge. It pops out initially of the keeper's gloves, but as it is dropping, it just clips the flap of the pad to take the pace off. It allows Shafiqullah to bend down and grab the rebound. What's going on? Brendon McCullum c Shafiqullah b Mujeeb 3(9)

Mujeeb to Sadiq, out Caught by Shafiqullah!! inside edge onto the pad, has it popped straight up to the keeper? Soft signal is not out. Oh this is extraordinary. Just the most freaky dismissal. It seems as if the ball has first deflected onto his back leg, then onto the keeper's boot and then straight up for the catch. How unlucky is Sadiq. What are the chances? The third umpire is spending an age arriving at the decision. Perhaps he is in disbelief. But it's clear as day. We get there finally. Sadiq c Shafiqullah b Mujeeb 7(10) [4s-1]

Naveen-ul-Haq to Sadiq, FOUR, uses his feet and dashes this length ball through the covers

Mujeeb to Stirling, out Bowled!! Didn't pick that at all. Stirling is left stunned as this ball comes back in from a length and slides into the stumps. It was the googly. Stirling's idea was to punch it through the covers, expecting the ball to go away from him. So he was way late on the shot. It was through him by then. Stirling b Mujeeb 3(4)
