Hong Kong: Nizakat Khan (capt), Babar Hayat, Yasim Murtaza, Kinchit Shah, Scott McKechnie (wk), Haroon Arshad, Aizaz Khan, Zeeshan Ali, Ehsan Khan, Ayush Shukla, Mohammad Ghazanfar
Ghazanfar and Hong Kong make a strong lbw appeal. Umpire was satisfied and raises his finger in a flash. Fakhar reviews it and the replay shows that the ball landed outside leg. Huge sigh of relief for Pakistan
Hits it back to the bowler! Babar goes down the ground, but fails to keep it down. Ehsan takes a good low catch to his right even as the ball swerves away
