- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 good grab by the keeper! Fourth-stump line, short of good length ball. Vince punches from near his body and the ball takes the outside edge and goes to the keeper's right at a high pace. He sticks his right hand out and that's a worldie! 39/22.5 well taken catch! Fullish ball on the stumps, he tries to lift it over the midwicket region, but it is mistimed and Raza tracks back from midwicket to take a smart catch after turning around and running behind 23/119.3 full and wide ball outside off. Inside the tram-lines. They try to pinch a bye-run, but Hope swiftly throws the stumps down with an under-arm throw! Which batter is out though? Looks like they hadn't crossed. So Cox has to go 147/56.2 through him! Fullish ball around off. He goes onto the back foot to play against the turn through the off side. But the ball zips in, goes past the inside of the bat. Bowled 42/314.5 short of good length ball, pace off. He tries to pull it over the leg side but mistimed. Beaten by lack of pace, and he holes out well inside the boundary line at deep midwicket 111/4Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL153/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Ibrahim Zadran, 2.5 ov), 2-39 (James Vince, 5.4 ov), 3-42 (Tom Alsop, 6.2 ov), 4-111 (Gerhard Erasmus, 14.5 ov), 5-147 (Jordan Cox, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 full ball around off. Slogged down the V but miscued, and taken by Vince at mid on! 25/116.1 another wicket! Full ball outside off. Just a tad out of his reach as he attempts a lofted cover drive. Sliced to deep third 110/56.5 another six? No, taken at long on! Tries to crunch another six down the ground, but this is awfully mistimed. Aayan has the last laugh 41/29.6 raps him on the pad and given out! Naib reviews. This ball lands on off and sliding into leg. Just about nicking leg stump. Umpire's call, Naib has to go after missing the defensive shot 60/312.2 holes out! Full ball on middle. Turning in. Tries to slog but it's too close to his body and the bat swing doesn't get the full movement. Taken at deep square leg 77/4Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL154/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Ben Dunk, 4.3 ov), 2-41 (Khalid Shah, 6.5 ov), 3-60 (Gulbadin Naib, 9.6 ov), 4-77 (Najibullah Zadran, 12.2 ov), 5-110 (Shai Hope, 16.1 ov)
