- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Siddle strikes! Pace off ball and pitching well outside off, Conway throws his bat at it and splices this one towards the lone off-side sweeper fielder, who pouches it comfortably. 48/19.3 Taken at deep midwicket! Looped up a length ball on middle-leg, Sameer strides out of the crease and plays with the spin, connects the inner part of the bat and only managed to find Wasim Jr, who was standing a few yards inside in midwicket region. 75/38.3 Done him with the flight and turn! Lovely piece of bowling from Arafat. Generously flighted length ball on the stumps line, sharp turn away from the batter as Gous steps out of the crease to send this one downtown, gets nowhere near the ball and is stranded outside the crease. Quick glove work by Philippe behind the stumps. 69/214.6 That's gone miles up in the air, and Smith pouches it! Massive wicket. Floated fuller length ball and stays wide outside off, Chapman reaches for it and goes for the big heave, mistimes this one, strikes it flat and fails to generate enough power, picks out Steve Smith at long on near the ropes. 130/511.5 Bowled'em with the wrong-un! Shadab looked in all sorts of trouble right from the start. Plays the slog sweep after moving away from the wicket, wild swing of the bat and he is beaten all ends up, crashes on the middle stump. 103/415.1 And Qamar gets his third wicket! Wickets are raining here in Lahore. Tossed up a length ball and Haider tries to clear the long on area, hits it towards widish long and Smith takes a well-judged running catch near the ropes, makes no mistake. 130/619.6 Brilliant fielding near the ropes! Pace off ball and Faheem clips it straight in the air towards long on, Turner ran around and took the catch, but as his momentum carried him toward the boundary, he tossed the ball back to Smith at long off just before crossing the ropes. Smith completed the catch safely; clinical work from the Australians there. 171/819.1 Imad chips it to cover! Hard length ball hits the deck hard around off, attempts to hoick it over the off-side infield, toe-ends the 141 clicks ball to the cover ring fielder in the end. 160/7Extras12 (lb 6, w 6)TOTAL171/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Devon Conway, 5.4 ov), 2-69 (Andries Gous, 8.3 ov), 3-75 (Sameer Minhas, 9.3 ov), 4-103 (Shadab Khan, 11.5 ov), 5-130 (Mark Chapman, 14.6 ov), 6-130 (Haider Ali, 15.1 ov), 7-160 (Imad Wasim, 19.1 ov), 8-171 (Faheem Ashraf, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Soft dismissal! Bowls a tad fuller length ball outside the leg stump channel, Farhan backs away and tries to clear the infield, mistimes the stroke and hits it straight to Faheem at mid-off. 16/17.3 Caught at mid-off! Smith can't believe it. Hard length ball on the leg stump channel, backs away and plays the lofted straight drive stroke, attempting to clear the mid-off area, did not get enough elevation as Shadab jumps in the air at the edge of the ring and pouches the catch. 61/214.3 length ball on the leg stump line, plays off the back foot and misses the length; might have gotten an inside edge onto the inner thigh pad though. Shadab is pleading for the lbw and sends it upstairs to have another look. Ultra Edge confirms flat line as the ball passes the bat, with all three reds on ball tracking and hitting the leg stump. Decision is reversed and Philippe has to depart. 131/48.5 Catching practice for the ring fielder! Brought his length back outside off, googly ball and Masood plays the reverse sweep again, chips this one straight to Irshad at short third area. 70/317.2 Toe-ends the ball to Chapman this time! Full and straight in the slot, opens the face of the bat and fails to connect with it cleanly, chipping it to mid-off at the edge of the circle. But the damage is already done. 162/5Extras6 (b 2, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL175/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 9.37)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Sahibzada Farhan, 2.2 ov), 2-61 (Steven Smith, 7.3 ov), 3-70 (Shan Masood, 8.5 ov), 4-131 (Josh Philippe, 14.3 ov), 5-162 (Arafat Minhas, 17.2 ov)
