Karim Janat to Fazal Rahman, out Lbw!! Plumb! If that wasn't out, nothing else in this world would be. A skiddy length delivery around middle and off, Zazai was on his back foot to play the shot, while he should have been on the front-foot. Tries to chop the length delivery, misses and is struck right on the pads. Hitting middle-stump and up goes the umpire's finger. The bowler had to pat his hands on the floor for the decision to go in his favour. Fazal Rahman lbw b Karim Janat 19(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

Naveed to Mohammad Shahzad, out Caught by Waqar Salamkheil!! A touch of arrogance in that shot by Shahzad. Took his eyes off the ball to flick the length delivery away but found Waqar at short fine leg to perfection. Even the fielder couldn't believe that he'd taken the catch, for a moment. So, Shahzad's sweet little cameo comes to an end with that. Mohammad Shahzad c Waqar Salamkheil b Naveed 21(11) [4s-1 6s-2]

Shirzad to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, going, going and gone. A length delivery angled away from the batsman, Shahzad swings at it and gets a thick outside edge that flies over third man. When he's at the crease, there's never a dull moment

Shirzad to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, that's smashed! Pitched on a full length outside off, Shahzad waits for it and with quick hands hammers it over extra-cover. Nicely timed shot, and so was the power on that

Naveed to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, that's Mohammad Shahzad for you! Doesn't need a sighter, this bloke. Shows his intentions rightaway. A shimmy down the wicket against a fast bowler and thumps him right over the long-off fence. Starts his innings with a maximum. So entertaining
