FOUR! Just out of reach! Banged in on a hard length and outside off, Steven Smith cuts it but fails to keep the ball down and slashes it over point. Saim Ayub there leaps up and even gets his fingertips on it but the ball goes through and even trickles into the fence.
Just back of a length and over middle, Inglis stays compact now and tucks it away to mid-wicket for a single.
WIDE! Wayward delivery from Rauf, hitting the deck hard and sliding it well wide outside the off stump, Inglis opts out of the shot and settles for a wide call.
Begins from over the wicket and bowls a hard-length delivery at the pads, this is worked away behind square leg for a run by Smith.
Haris Rauf is now introduced into the attack.
Tidy over from Hasnain, just a couple of singles off it. Slides this one onto the pads, Smith flicks it away down to fine leg and picks up a run.
Hard length around off, Smith plants his front leg across and plays this one right off the middle of the bat but fails to pierce the gap at covers.

FOUR! That is stellar from Josh Inglis. Back of a length, not short at all and not that wide of the off stump either, Inglis stays inside the line and forces the ball away off the back foot and just to the left of the man at sweepers. The timing is so good that the fielder there has no chance to cut off the boundary.
Back of a length, just outside off, goes away just that slight bit off the wicket, Inglis stays back, stands tall and punches it towards cover.
Short of a length, just outside off, rises up on it way to the keeper. Inglis looks to climb on the bounce and looks to slash hard but misses by a small margin on the outside edge and flies past through to the keeper.
