PAK vs WXI Live Cricket Score

0.4 OUT! Catching practice for Amla! And he's too good to drop these! Morkel bowls it on a length just outside off, Zaman just guides it to the first slip fielder. Fakhar is very disappointed with this. He looked eager to perform in front of the home crowd and he got the start as well. But, might have got carried away a touch. Excellent beginning to the series - two boundaries followed by a wicket! 8/1

14.1 OUT! Stunning Sammy takes a brilliant catch! Cutting bowls a back of a length ball around off and middle, Shehzad goes back and just plays a tired pull. The ball goes towards deep square leg, where Sammy runs in and dives forward to catch it inches above the ground. Ahmed was tired and was cramping at the end of the previous over. So that might have been a contributory to his downfall. This ends the 122-run stand! The bowling change works. Chance for World XI to stem the run flow now! 130/2

15.5 OUT! Tahir gets his man! End of a superb knock from Babar Azam! Tossed up around middle and off, the ball spins away. Azam kneels down to slog sweep against the spin. Doesn't connect it off the meat and the ball flies high in the air. Fails to get the distance behind it and Miller at deep mid-wicket, gets underneath it and gobbles the catch with ease. Babar departs but he has done his job. Now, it's his teammates' job to provide the end flourish to this platform. 142/3

19.2 OUT! Bowled 'em! Perera has his revenge! He bowls a length delivery around off, the ball doesn't bounce much. Malik looks to adjust as he looks to pull it across the line. Fails to adjust and the ball brushes the pads and hits the woodwork. Shoaib is disappointed but he has played a gem of a cameo. 182/5

18 OUT! Slower one does the trick for Perera! He bowls a slower bouncer around off. Sarfraz dances down the track and looks to slash it away. Gets a feather and Paine behind the stumps accepts it gleefully. The skipper departs without scoring much. Thisara is delighted to get a wicket. 161/4

5.2 OUT! Raees does the trick for Pakistan! Fuller delivery, angling into the stumps. Iqbal dances down the track, wanting to play his regular slog over the mid-wicket region. Misses it completely and finds the stumps rattled. He has to make the long walk back to the pavilion. Pakistan have got the much-needed breakthrough. 43/1

6 OUT! Soft, soft dismissal! Slower delivery does Amla in completely. Bowls it outside off, Amla is beaten for lack of pace. He looks to go inside out but ends up chipping it straight towards the fielder at extra cover. Imad Wasim accepts it gleefully and Pakistan are pumped. Raees has bowled brilliantly and got both the openers in his first over. Talk about a bowling change working wonders! 48/2

13.3 OUT! PAINE HOLES OUT! His innings was a mixed bag as he wasn't quite able to force the pace at will. Tries to go big down the ground to the slower full ball but skews it down the throat of Raees at long off. He takes the catch calmly very close to the boundary rope. The umpires want to have a look and refer it upstairs but the third umpire feels it's fine. Not a wicket the World XI would mind as it will allow their power packed hitters to get into the act. 90 from 39 balls needed now. 108/4

12.3 OUT! HUGE WICKET! Pakistan needed this badly as du Plessis was tearing the bowlers apart. He goes for the slog sweep but doesn't quite get the elevation on the stroke. Finds the substitute Amin at deep mid-wicket who takes the catch quite comfortably. Vital strike by Shadab! 101/3

14.5 OUT! Shadab has his revenge! Sees Miller giving the charge and bowls a wrong 'un on a slightly shorter length. No way the southpaw is going to connect the big shot there and it's an easy stumping for Sarfraz who is pumped up. He knows it's a big wicket and the World XI suffer a body blow. 75 needed from 31. 123/5

16.3 OUT! Soft dismissal! Fuller ball outside off, Elliott tries to go big over the infield but hits it straight to Wasim who pouches it at extra cover. Another slower ball that does the trick for the hosts. There have been far too many of those today from the Pakistan bowlers. Read the pitch well. 145/6

19.5 OUT! Mix up and Perera departs! On a length outside off, Sammy steers it through point and they get a single. Confusion on the second run and Perera is late to get back to the non-striker's end. The bails are whipped off and he is well short. 173/7
