SIX! Shamar Joseph to Muhammad Haris. Reverse Swing-In full toss, middle stump moves in front sweeping, well timed in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. That concludes the first innings. Pakistan has set a respectable total after being put into bat first. The openers provided a strong start early, before Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman combined for a 81 run partnership. Ayub passed 50 before they both fell in quick succession. The middle and lower order were able to keep the scoring going at a decent rate to get the visitors to 178 off their 20 overs. Shamar Joseph was the pick of the bowlers, with three wickets. Can Pakistan defend their total? Join us again shortly for an exciting run chase.
