Nadeem Ahmed swings a flighted delivery on the legs to deep midwicket. And it's all over. Abbas won't come out to bat and the game is done.

Tabarak Dar: The bowlers had got tired [after the early burst]. We were bit disappointed that we couldn't finish it off. The left-arm spinners bowled well and put Pakistan on the back foot and under pressure. I think we won a few sessions of play but we couldn't finish it off. That's the difference between professional cricketers and part-time cricketers.
Man of the Match : Sohail Tanvir : "I was looking for that kind of performance with the bat;. I had not got many chances before, didn't do well in couple of chance I had got but I did well; I think I became an allrounder in this match. We just wanted to play carefully initially and hit out in the end. I was struggling with bat before and it's good for my confidence and for my team that they have found a allrounder.
Malik: We were struggling a bit but Fawad Alam and Tanvir batted brilliantly. These sort of collapses happen in cricket. Every day is a new day and there are lessons to be learnt. Next game is against India and there is no margin for error there. I don't want to lose even one game in this tournament."
That's it from us. Thanks for logging on. Alvida!
