10.3 to Karim Janat, good length ball on the stumps. Karim swings and misses. Wellington Masakadza is bowling the tough lengths and getting runs off him seems to be a difficult proposition. So, Karim tries to slog him out of the attack and misses the line of the delivery. He is bowled and has to walk back. 75/2
403528.751010
5.3 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, good length delivery in the channel outside the off stump. Rahmanullah had to chase it and ends up getting an outside edge to the keeper. He seems to be upset with himself as he is admonishing himself for playing the stroke. Looked like he was expecting a short delivery. 42/1
13.4 to Mohammad Nabi, short ball outside the off stump. Nahi looks to cut and doesn't time it well. He gets a top edge to deep point. Musakanda runs in and takes the catch by diving forward at the last moment, as the ball was dying on him. 96/4
4046111.50810
18.2 to Asghar Afghan, fuller ball outside the off stump. He lofts it straight into the hands of the fielder at long off. 155/5
4041210.25900
19.1 to Rashid Khan, short ball outside the off stump. Slower delivery. Rashid Khan looks to cut and gets an outside edge to the keeper. 167/6
19.2 to Sharafuddin Ashraf, and Muzarabani has two in two! Fuller ball and he lofts it to deep midwicket. Masakadza gets under it and takes the catch. 167/7
201417.00400
11.2 to Usman Ghani, fuller, faster outside the off stump. Usman was wanting to slog once again. No timing and no connection. The ball lobs up in the air and Ryan Burl running in from long off takes the catch. 83/3
