- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 hit straight into the lap of Kohli at cover. No celebrations at all. Short and wide outside off at 145.4ks, backed away and slapped to Kohli. Like target practice 25/32.4 A string of nine dots has reaped reward for Bhuvi. Good length and angled in, Patil targets the leg side with a flick. This stopped slightly on him. He lobs it in the air off a leading edge. Bhuvi snaps up the return catch, chest-high clasp 1/13.3 Shahzad has nicked off for a duck! Short and outside off at 143ks, Shahzad has a leaden-footed jab away from the body. He can only edge it to the cordon. Raina grabs it in front of his face at second slip 2/219.5 banged in outside off, big swing and a miss from Raza. He takes off for a single. Dhoni collects the ball quickly and knocks the leg stump out. Shaiman gone for 43 81/912.5 Negi gets his first international scalp. He tosses it up, Usman uses his feet, meets a full ball. He attempts a big swipe over midwicket, but can only sky it to Harbhajan, running in from long-off. That should settle Negi's nerves 51/413.2 soft, soft dismissal. Tossed up, drifts in and dips. Amjad bags a first-ball duck. He feebly chips it to the left of midwicket, simple catch. The Harbhajan-Negi combo in the thick of action, again 53/515.5 cracker of a catch from Pandya! Full on middle, Kaleem goes low and slogs it in the air. Pandya sprints in from long-on, flings himself forward even as the ball was dipping on him. He takes a superb low catch, inches from the turf. Subdued celebrations overall. A wicket each for six bowlers used by Dhoni 62/616.6 UAE continue to crumble. Make that 66 for 7. Speared at 92.9ks, pushed to the left of the bowler, more towards short cover. Tariq wants a non-existent single. Shaiman sends him back. He is run out by two yards. 66/719.2 Negi pockets a skier. Bhuvneshwar takes his second. Another 137ks short ball, Naveed puts bat on ball. Hoicks it and sends a top edge over square leg. Negi hangs on to it even as the ball bobbled out 80/8Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL81/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.05)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Swapnil Patil, 2.4 ov), 2-2 (Mohammad Shahzad, 3.3 ov), 3-25 (Rohan Mustafa, 8.4 ov), 4-51 (Muhammad Usman, 12.5 ov), 5-53 (Amjad Javed, 13.2 ov), 6-62 (Muhammad Kaleem, 15.5 ov), 7-66 (Fahad Tariq, 16.6 ov), 8-80 (Mohammad Naveed, 19.2 ov), 9-81 (Shaiman Anwar, 19.5 ov)
