13.4 Shoaib Malik to Ben Duckett, Tucked on the leg side, two more to the total. (2)

15.1 Kashif Bhatti to Ben Duckett, Bah, that was poor umpiring. Pitched outside leg, going over the top, and an inside edge! That's what you get for sleeping with the umpire's wife!

15.3 Kashif Bhatti to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Down the track, and BOOM! Six Runs! Great batting! (6)
15.4 Kashif Bhatti to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single. (1)

16.1 Imad Wasim to Misbah-Ul-Haq, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball. (0)
16.2 Imad Wasim to Misbah-Ul-Haq, BANG! The batsman absolutely nailed that shot! Luckily for the bowler there is a man in the deep, so only two runs. (3)
16.3 Imad Wasim to Asif Ali, Rubbish ball, short and on the legs, flicked away with ease. Four more. (4)

17.1 Abdul Ameer to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Going, going, Gone! (6)
17.2 Abdul Ameer to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)
17.3 Abdul Ameer to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Full and on the toes, the batsman just flicks it past the now-vacant short fine leg region for four runs! The captain is fuming, and it's right after he took the fielder out of there! (4)
17.4 Abdul Ameer to Misbah-Ul-Haq, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more! (6)
17.5 Abdul Ameer to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy! (3)
17.6 Abdul Ameer to Asif Ali, Great bowling, poor shot, and a regulation catch. Soft dismissal there.

18.3 Rahat Ali to Misbah-Ul-Haq, That was a very good delivery. (0)
18.4 Rahat Ali to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time. (6)
18.5 Rahat Ali to Misbah-Ul-Haq, No Ball. And that's been caught, by a man in the crowd! Six Runs! (6)
18.5 Rahat Ali to Misbah-Ul-Haq, Splendid shot for four! (4)
