34.6

J Ball to Hafeez, 3 runs, slower short ball and the batsman cuts the ball away with supreme timing. The man at point comes up with a valiant chase and drags it down inside the ropes. A better throw could have had Azam running for the third into some trouble. Time for drinks!

J Ball to Azhar Ali, out Bowled!! A soft dismissal. A tired one. A slower bumper and the batsman came down the track for the forehanded pull but could only manage to chalk an under-edge onto the sticks.
