Saim Ayub	17	15	2	1	113.33
b Naveen-ul-Haq 6 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Unfortunate way to get out! On a length and outside off. Ayub gets across to paddle but gets an edge and it deflects it onto the stumps. Hits the bails. Ayub walks back in disappointment. Afghanistan are chipping in with wickets. 39/3 60% DotBall 40% Scoring Shots 5 Ball per Boundary
Mohammad Haris	6	11	1	0	54.54
c Azmatullah Omarzai b Fazalhaq Farooqi 3 OUT! TAKEN! Finally the edge is found! On a length and on off, swings away. Haris opens his body as he looks to heave but gets a top edge, high and to cover-point. Azmatullah Omarzai runs back and takes it over his head. A sharp catch there. 17/1 72.73% DotBall 27.27% Scoring Shots 11 Ball per Boundary
Abdullah Shafique		2	0	0	0
lbw b Azmatullah Omarzai 3.4 OUT! LBW! Abdullah Shafique takes the review. Looks close. No bat on it. Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Shafique has to go. Short in length and on off, tails in. Shafique is late as he looks to flick and gets hit on the pads. It was slightly high but still not in Shafique's favour. 22/2 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Tayyab Tahir	16	9	3	0	177.77
c & b Rashid Khan 6.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! That is Rashid Khan for you! Another one goes now. Tossed up, around off, skids on.

Azam Khan Wk		2	0	0	0
c Gulbadin Naib b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 7.2 OUT! TAKEN! The power-hitter goes now. Pakistan cannot catch a break! This is soft dismissal. Tossed up on middle. spins a bit in.

Imad Wasim	18	32	0	0	56.25
b Fazalhaq Farooqi 17.5 OUT! BOWLED! Wasim goes now. Short in length and on middle. Wasim looks to pulls but the ball stays a bit low and hits the top of middle. 80/9 46.88% DotBall 53.12% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Shadab Khan C	12	18	0	0	66.66
c Azmatullah Omarzai b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 12.1 OUT! TAKEN! Yet another superb catch from Azmatullah Omarzai! Flat and outside off, spins away.

Faheem Ashraf	2	8	0	0	25
c Rashid Khan b Mohammad Nabi 13.5 OUT! TAKEN! A stare from Nabi as he walks across Ashraf. He too goes due to soft dismissal. Flat and outside off, holds a bit on the surface.

Naseem Shah	2	7	0	0	28.57
hit wicket b Mohammad Nabi 15.4 OUT! HIT WICKET! This is turning out to be poor dismissals. Shorter and on middle. Shah swings but misses and gets hit on the body.
