K Rabada to H Sohail, SIX! SMOKED! Oh yeah. Sohail is in for some acceleration here. He anticipates the short delivery and moves down the leg side well in advance. With the room created, he then slashes it over point and the ball goes all the away!

Short leg in now.

K Rabada to H Sohail, FOUR! Lovely shot. Bad ball though. With mid on up, Rabada pitches this very full and Haris calmly drives this straight back, beating mid on who was standing a bit wide as well.

A Markram to B Azam, FOUR! No stopping this one! Full and down the leg side, Babar tickles this past short fine leg. Kagiso Rabada gives it a chase once again but the ball is running down the hill. He puts in a despairing prematured dive but to no avail.

A Markram to B Azam, Lucky. Full and straight, Azam attempts another paddle and is gone for all money but luckily for him, the ball hits the inside edge and then goes onto the pads. Deflects past Kagiso Rabada at short fine leg who runs after it and slides near the fine leg fence to stop the ball. Three runs taken.

K Rabada to B Azam, Lovely bowling. Full and outside off, Babar looks to drive but the ball straightens a touch and then moves away slightly after pitching, which is the reason for the play and a miss.

K Rabada to H Sohail, Another short ball, Haris gets caught in a tangle and awkwardly fends it to the leg side. A quick single taken even as Duminy comes running in from short mid-wicket and has a shy at the striker's end. Babar is safely in.

K Rabada to H Sohail, FOUR! MAJESTIC! Did that have a Saeed Anwar touch to it? Perhaps. On a length outside off, Sohail comes half forward and just punches it on the up through the covers. The ball races away! Sohail moves to 10 from 5 balls.

DRINKS BREAK. The game is in the balance right now. Pakistan got off to a terrific start but the three wickets have pegged them back. However, the run rate is pretty decent and if a set batsman stays till the end, they can still get to 275.
