15.5 to Fakhar Zaman, Lobbed up touch fuller and outside off, stays deep in the crease and tries to slug it downtown, Mousley, has been a livewire in the field, off the toe-end and wonderful low tumbling take at long-on, came charging in and timed the jump perfectly. Brings end to the mammoth partnership.. 157/1

15.2 to DR Mousley, Shorter and outside off, innings petering out as Mousley tries to pummel the off-cutter out of park and gets caught at deep square region by Pahal,. 135/6
18.1 to Shakib Al Hasan, Hung in the air for a while and Joy snaffles it at long-off. Was a full-toss dipping at off, Roy swoops to his right and takes it head height. 170/7

3.2 to ADS Fletcher, Darted on a hard length, angling in at middle and leg, gets underneath and crunches a pull to deep midwicket, hits him high on the bat as he couldn't time it well enough, ball rose steeply towards him and he finds the fielder in the deep, Lawrence makes no mistake and Khuzaima strikes, continues to cash in on his rich vein of form. 27/1
402015.00122010
10.3 to Muhammad Waseem, Cries of catch it and he holes out to deep midwicket, Hasan Nawaz makes no mistake, hangs onto it brilliantly, brilliant change-up, slow ball bouncer around chest height on off, getting on top of it but just not finding enough elevation, that is a crucial breakthrough because these two were complimenting each other so well and had the flow. Still a lot of firepower in Emirates's camp, captain to come in next. Banton needs to stay till the end to get anywhere close to the target. 108/2
3048016.0035300

11.3 to T Banton, Tossed up on a length and hung away outside off, Banton is not impressed and doesn't like how much he pauses before delivery the ball, think that was the gesture to the bowler once he got out, carom ball that didn't turn much and he holes out to Sam Curran at long-off, crucial, crucial breakthrough. Chat between bowler and umpires, thinks getting heated up although Banton has already left the field and taken his seat in the dug out, think the argument is about the reaction on his bowling action. 112/3
11.4 to SP Krishnamurthi, Dangles a tingling off-break that skids on and veers into his pads, before the bat came down, the ball already thumped his front pad, pleading for an lbw and gets the decision in favor. Sent upstairs for another look. by the batter. Once again, tensions flaring between the players, Curran steps in as well. Is the debate about sending it upstairs within the stipulated time? That seems to be the bone of contention. Finally, umpire refers it upstairs after confusion. No deflection off th bat, pitching outside off, impact in line and clipping leg-stump, just shaving it and the on-field decision stands. Two in two and Usman is still talking with the umpires as well as picking wickets regularly, things have changed dramatically in a few overs. 112/4
13.2 to KA Pollard, But Usman presents a different challenge altogether, turning out to be a memorable debut season for Usman and he makes a big impact in his first game, never really arrives at him, his action and cunning variations can be so frustrating for the batters as Pollard stays deep in his crease and tries to thump him over long-off, hasn't got the requisite timing and distance, gobbled by Curran in the deep, Usman gets his third. 130/5
