0.1 Mehran Khan to Paul Stirling, 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)
0.2 Mehran Khan to Paul Stirling, Short ball, cut away for a run. (1)
0.3 Mehran Khan to Gary Wilson, That's gone high in the air, and an easy catch in the end.

4.1 Boyd Rankin to Zeeshan Siddiqui, Flicked off his hips through the vacant square leg region for two runs. The captain decides to remove a man from gully to cover up that spot. (2)
4.2 Boyd Rankin to Zeeshan Siddiqui, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run. (0)
4.3 Boyd Rankin to Zeeshan Siddiqui, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single. (1)
4.4 Boyd Rankin to Adnan Ilyas, 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)

5.2 Kevin O'Brien to Adnan Ilyas, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single. (1)

5.4 Kevin O'Brien to Zeeshan Siddiqui, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
