1.3 to JM Vince, Chopped on! Back of a length ball kept low outside off, plays off the back foot away from the body, thick inside edge as Vince plays it too early, crashes onto the stumps!. 10/1 3.5 to Asif Khan, Sanjay Krishnamurthi grabs a screamer at deep backward square leg! Another banged in short pitched ball and Asif follows the line of the ball, plays the swivel pull shot and top edges to the left of the on-side sweeper fielder. Krishnamurthi sprinted to his left, tracked the ball's flight perfectly, and executed a brilliant diving catch just inches off the ground. He maintained a firm grip throughout the landing; that is comfortably one of the best catches we've seen in the tournament so far!. 27/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 17 | 2 | 4.25 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
2.5 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Uprooted the middle stump! Hard length ball darted on the stumps, skidded through. Gurbaz backs away and charges down the track early for the wild slog stroke across the line of the ball, gets nowhere near the ball and the bails are flying!. 16/2 14.1 to Azmatullah Omarzai, And Farooqi strikes! A tad fuller length ball angling in outside off, moves away from the wicket and whacks it straight, mistimes the stroke and hits it towards straight of long off. Two fielders converging near the ropes, Banton gets there first and takes a brilliant running catch to his right side; this time he makes no mistake!. 89/5 | ||||||||||

| 4 | 0 | 40 | 1 | 10.00 | 7 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 0 | |
19.6 to MM Ali, chips it to midwicket! A low full toss ball angling in on the stumps, moves forward, and he clips it away with the inner part of the bat. Two fielders converge, and Arab Gul leaves it for Tom Banton. The long on fielder gobbles it up and gives Gul a high-five with a massive smile.. 141/6 | ||||||||||

8.3 to LJ Tucker, Massive shout and the finger goes up slowly! Googly ball fired in at the stumps; he leans forward and plays off the front foot, misses the line and length completely and thuds the front pad. That looks pretty adjacent to me. Tucker reviews it, though. All three reds, no bat is involved and hitting the middle-leg stump.. 49/4 | ||||||||||

0.4 to JM Bairstow, Massive appeal and given! Good length ball jagged back in sharply and squared him up on the back foot. Bairstow hangs back and plays off the back foot, misses the line and length and hits the knee-roll of the back pad. He looked over at Waseem, who signalled that he was out with his left hand. Following the confirmation, Bairstow slowly made his way back to the dugout.. 1/1 | ||||||||||

1.4 to T Banton, Up in the air, and Vince gobbles it up! A tad fuller length ball around the sixth stump line, deviates away slightly and Banton plays the lofted straight drive, toe-ends the ball high in the air to mid-off. Vince settles underneath and completes the catch.. 2/2 | ||||||||||
