Reeza Hendricks 45(67)
17.4
Shadab Khan to Hendricks, out Caught by Hasan Ali!! Here's the first wicket and it's the leg spinner who breaksthrough. Tempts the batsman with a loopy legbreak on off and Hendricks goes hard at it. Tries a slog sweep and gets a top-edge towards square leg where Hasan Ali settles underneath the swirler and gobbles it up. Just the wicket Pakistan were looking for. Hendricks c Hasan Ali b Shadab Khan 45(67) [4s-5]

17.2
Shadab Khan to Hendricks, no run, flatter around off and Hendricks knocks it to the fielder at cover
17.1
Shadab Khan to Amla, 1 run, Pakistan review: Shadab has convinced his skipper to go upstairs. Seems to be an awful review this. It was pitching down the leg side and Sarfraz was clearly not able to spot that. However, the bowler should've known it. Amla was down on his knee as he missed his sweep and lost balance. Nothing on the UltraEdge, but the batsman gets a run, as the umpire didn't singal leg bye
16.5
Hasan Ali to Hendricks, no run, short of length delivery at the body, doesn't get up as high as Hendricks was expecting - more to do with the kind of skiddy bowler Hasan Ali is, rather than the pitch. It sneaks under his pull and strikes him around the midriff

Imad Wasim to Hendricks, 2 runs, that's a fine effort in the deep from Hafeez. He's saved a couple of runs with a full stretch dive. It was punched with great timing off the back foot, purring through the extra cover field. But Hafeez, at 38, throws himself across at the boundary
