0.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! BOWLED! Junaid Siddique provides the first breakthrough for his side! What a start for UAE! Not too full and not that short either, that in-between length, pitching around off, and then nipping back into the batter. Sahibzada Farhan neither goes forward nor commits on the back foot, stays inside the crease and tries to push it off side, which creates a huge gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaks through and smashes into the stumps behind. Junaid Siddique appeals for LBW, and is not aware of the bail being dislodged. But he is soon informed by his teammates and celebrates eventually. Sahibzada Farhan departs for 8 (5) and Pakistan are 9/1. 9/1

11.3 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT BEHIND! Saghir Khan with a huge wicket from UAE's perspective. Remember, there is no DRS for this tri-series. Saghir Khan spears it full, but angles it down the leg stump line, from the around-the-wicket angle. Gets a lateral movement through the air. Saim Ayub tries to flick that through the leg side, but only manages to get an inside edge and the ball goes flat towards the right of the keeper. Rahul Chopra dives low to his right and gathers it safely in his mitts. Saim Ayub is in a state of shock and trudges off after scoring a quickfire 69 (38). 104/4

3.1 OUT! BOWLED! CLEANED HIM UP! A courageous decision from Waseem to bowl a left hander against the southpaw. Haider dishes out a fuller-length delivery, just outside off and gets it to turn back into the batter a bit. Fakhar Zaman premeditates and tries to play the sweep shot but inside edges it onto the stumps behind. Haider Ali is ecstatic as he gets a big wicket in his very first delivery. Fakhar Zaman departs on 6 (7) and Pakistan are 38/2. 38/2

7.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Saghir Khan gets the opposition skipper and he is elated. Good length in the channel nibbling away, with some extra bounce off the pitch. Salman Agha is taken aback by the lift off the deck, and just hangs his bat away from the body. Has a poke at it and gets an outside edge that goes through to the keeper. Rahul Chopra makes no error and Salman has to depart. Salman Agha who notched a fifty in the previous game, against Afghanistan, departs for 5 (9) this time around. Pakistan are 74/3. 74/3

15.4 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! A prolonged appeal and finally, the finger goes up. Slower through the air, drifting in around off, Hasan Nawaz hangs deep in the crease and looks to pull it over mid-wicket but he is a bit early into the shot, and only gets an underedge through to the keeper. Rahul Chopra takes a sharp catch behind the stumps and Nawaz has to walk back after a fiery knock. A wicket against the run of play for UAE. Haider Ali gets his second wicket as Hasan Nawaz departs for 56 (26). Pakistan are 161/5. 161/5

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! That's gone to the moon and come back! Saghir Khan bowls it on a length and at the batter. Mohammad Nawaz swings hard at it and ends up lifting it a mile high towards cow corner. Ethan D'souza settles under the high ball and takes a fine catch. Tumbles a bit to his right after gathering the ball, but manages to stay just inside the ropes. That was a lot more difficult than it looked. Saghir Khan gets his third wicket. Pakistan slip down to 177/7 with Mohammad Nawaz departing on 25 (15). 177/7

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder in the deep! Junaid gets his second wicket. Short and wide outside off, banged in well short. Mohammad Haris reaches out to uppercut but gets it down the throat of the fielder at deep third. Muhammad Jawadullah takes an easy catch and Pakistan lose their 6th wicket. Mohammad Haris is fuming and admonishes himself by slamming the bat on the ground in frustration. And while doing so, he even breaks his bat. He walks back without much impact, scoring just 1 off 2. Pakistan are 169/6. 169/6

19.5 OUT! FAHEEM ASHRAF IS RUN OUT! Very full and outside off, Faheem Ashraf hangs back and drills it down to long off. The batters had to push for two there but it was never on. Saghir Khan comes in from long off and throws the ball back to the bowler, who whips off the bails. Salman Mirza is not even in the frame but the umpires are checking if the batters had crossed each other. This is very close and the third umpire confirms that it is Faheem Ashraf who is out as the batters had not crossed paths. 205/9

19.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Junaid Siddique dugs it in short over middle, Hasan Ali sets up to pull and mistimes it. Ends up hitting it flat to deep mid-wicket without getting much distance and elevation. Muhammad Zohaib stationed in the deep, takes a simple catch and the 8th wicket goes down for Pakistan. Junaid Siddique gets his third wicket as Hasan Ali departs on 9 (6). 203/8

20 OUT! RUN OUT! Sufiyan Muqeem is the man who is run out here. A leg cutter, dug into the pitch and outside off, Salman Mirza throws his hands at it and slices it over the point region. The batters pick up a single as the throw comes in to the keeper's end. Mirza is already at the keeper's end and Sufiyan Muqeem tries to hurry back, but the keeper throws it to the bowler who dislodges the bails. 207/10

4.1 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Mohammad Nawaz with the first breakthrough for Pakistan. He bowls from around the stumps and drags the length, short and on middle, giving less space to work with for Zohaib. The southpaw is hurried to go deep inside the crease to make room for himself, but mistimes it flat and off the toe end of the bat. Hits it straight to Hasan Nawaz at cover who takes a simple catch. Muhammad Zohaib goes for 13 (14) and the United Arab Emirates are 39/1. 39/1

5.5 OUT! RUN OUT! A waste of a wicket and this is a massive blow to the home team! Short from Hasan, on the bodyline, Ethan D'souza pulls it to mid-wicket. The fielder there fumbles and the ball is parried behind. The batters call for the second and complete. With the fielder from long on, getting to the ball by running to his left, Ethan sniffs the third run and calls Waseem for it. The throw arrives at Hasan Ali, with Waseem struggling to make his ground. Hasan collects it and throws the ball into the stumps at the non-striker's end. The replay shows that even the dive from Waseem couldn't save him as he is caught short of his crease. Muhammad Waseem is distraught and trudges off for a fine 33 off just 18. United Arab Emirates are 54/2. 54/2

6 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in two for Hasan Ali! Ali bends his back and bowls the effort delivery into the surface. Targets the bodyline, and the ball skids off the surface as well. Ethan D'souza doesn't read the pace behind it and gets late to play the pull shot. The ball hits the gloves and goes behind to the right of the keeper. Mohammad Haris dives full-stretch to his right and completes the catch. From 54/1, United Arab Emirates have slipped down to 54/3 at the end of the Powerplay, needing 154 runs to win. 54/3

8.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Too much elevation, not enough power. Saim Ayub tosses this one up at the stumps, inviting the big shot. Alishan Sharafu falls into the trap, skips down the track and lofts it high towards long on. Sahibzada Farhan moves to his left and pouches it easily. United Arab Emirates are now reeling at 68/4, needing another 140 runs to win. 68/4

10.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder! Mohammad Nawaz tosses the ball up on the stumps, not all that full. Rahul Chopra gets down to sweep but gets a top edge that flies down to deep square leg. Sufiyan Muqeem settles under it and pouches it safely. Chopra looked set but walks back after scoring 11 (14). United Arab Emirates are 76/5, needing 132 runs! 76/5

19.2 OUT! STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR AND GONE! Hasan Ali gets his second wicket! He slams the deck hard, short and on the stumps, kicking off the deck. Asif Khan shapes up to pull it over the leg side, but gets the ball high on the body and ends up top-edging it over square leg. Goes only as far as deep square leg and Sahibzada Farhan runs in a few yards from the deep and settles under it to take a fine catch. Good gesture from the tourists as every Pakistani player walks towards Asif and appreciates his blistering knock. A very entertaining inning from Asif Khan comes to an end as he departs with a broad smile, scoring 77 off just 35 balls. 175/7

16.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent effort from Mohammad Haris and Salman Mirza gets his first wicket! More importantly, he breaks this 54-run stand for the sixth wicket. Speared in fuller in length, angling outside the off stump. Dhruv Parashar tries to shovel it out to the off side, but outside edges it. The ball goes flat and to the right of Haris who dives and sticks out his right hand to take a one-handed grab. A sharp reflex catch from the keeper. Dhruv Parashar goes for 15 (19). United Arab Emirates are 130/6 and need 78 runs from 22 balls. 130/6

19.4 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! The final rites being read! Third wicket for Hasan Ali! Bowls it full and on the leg stump line. Saghir Khan clears the front leg to tonk it over long on, but does not get his bat properly under the ball and mistimes it off the toe end. The ball sails straight down the throat of Mohammad Nawaz at long on. UAE lose their 8th wicket! 176/8
