- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.1 Shafiq falls first ball after the break. He falls for a Jekyll-and-Hyde 45. Shortish and outside off, he looks to swing across the line. Loses his shape and misses. Watson hits the top of off 102/54.1 Sami, who was greeted by Shehzad with a mighty six, has a bit of revenge. He lets out an animated roar. Shehzad can't believe it. Dug in short on off, this is more a short-arm flap than a short-arm pull. Drags a catch to mid-on 35/14.2 pinned 'em in front. Two wickets in two balls for Sami. An inswinging yorker first up, pings the front boot in line with off stump, too quick for KP. It would have carried onto hit the leg stump. The umpire raises his finger and sends KP on his way. Second successive duck for KP 35/29.5 swiped straight down the throat of long-on. Haddin reprieved him on 5. Rossouw adds only two more runs before holing out to Raees. Haddin will be relieved. Short of a length and outside off, miscued to long-on 66/312.2 Rumman has his man now. Sarfraz uses his feet, Rumman drags his length back. This gets big on Sarfraz. He attempts a hook. Has to settle with a top edge. Haddin tracks down the skier. Well done, Isalamabad 85/420 low full-toss on off, Thisara can only push it back to Rumman. He stops the ball with his right boot, scoops the ball into his hands, then spins back, aims at the stumps and adroitly under-arms it at the non-striker's end to catch Thisara short 148/5Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL148/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Ahmed Shehzad, 4.1 ov), 2-35 (Kevin Pietersen, 4.2 ov), 3-66 (Rilee Rossouw, 9.5 ov), 4-85 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 12.2 ov), 5-102 (Asad Shafiq, 15.1 ov), 6-148 (Thisara Perera, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.3 Nawaz strikes with his third ball. Slides in with the arm. Non-turning ball, which is not short enough for the short-arm pull. Smith does not connect. Nawaz barges into his castle and takes him down 39/17.5 Haddin nicks behind. Double-strike from Nawaz. Shortish and skids on outside off, Haddin backs away outside leg and only under-edges it behind to Sarfraz. The shot was probably on, the execution was iffy 53/210.4 Hasan sends Misbah back. Slides in with the arm, too full for the sweep. Misbah stretches across, but can't connect and is pinned in front of off and middle 72/317.5 4,4,6, and out! Holes out to deep midwicket. Can't clear the long boundary. Chest-high short ball on middle and leg stump, tucks Watson up for room. He does not get hold of the pull. Smart catch by Hasan at the edge of the boundary 135/419 short ball, angled in at the ribs, Asif can't control the pull. He skies a top edge, which is gulped down by KP at long leg.
