Bilal Asif to Starc, FOUR, big groan from Sarfraz as this sneaks through Abbas at point. Well played from Starc to begin with, went back and punched it towards point. That really was a dreadful effort from the pacer, too stiff to bend down to his left. He's been removed from there
38.2

34.4
Bilal Asif to Paine, out Lbw!! That was a 50-50 call and umpire Ravi thought long and hard before raising his finger. Paine shakes his head as he walks back. Turning in sharply and Paine is caught on the back foot, he fails to get bat on that and is pinged right in front of leg-stump. The ball was spinning and the only question was whether it would have missed the stumps. Ball-tracking showed it to be kissing some part of leg-stump and the onfield decision is withheld. Paine lbw b Bilal Asif 3(11)

30.6
Bilal Asif to Finch, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Big wicket. Asif strikes in his first over. It is the well-set Finch who has to depart. Where was he this long? The offie is bound to cause more trouble with his height and bounce on this Abu Dhabi surface. Spins in sharply and Finch is not committed to his forward block, the inside edge deflects off the pad and it is a good reflex catch at short leg. Zaman stretched out his left hand and grabbed it. Finch c Fakhar Zaman b Bilal Asif 39(83) [4s-5]
30.5
