    5.1 sliced straight to short third! Steps across his stumps lining up the leg side, but van Schalkwyk follows him with a wide cutter outside off. Ayub looks to launch over cover, but can only edge it to the grateful Netravalkar for a simple catch 54/1
    15.5 width outside off, picks out Krishnamurthy on the rope! Length ball, wide outside off, and Farhan has to reach for it as he lines up the covers. He ends up miscuing it down the ground, and the man on the rope does well to cover ground to his right and take the catch at long-off 143/4
    5.6 heaved straight to deep backward square! Three in the overs for van Schalkwyk against India on Saturday night, two in the over against Pakistan tonight! Salman steps outside leg to give himself room, van Schalkwyk follows him with a slower ball, and he creams the pull straight down Shayan Jahangir's throat on the square leg boundary 56/2
    14.4 picks out long-on! Excellent tumbling catch by Milind Kumar. Mohsin drops short, and Babar throws his hands at it, looking to drag into the leg side. But he hits it a little straighter than intended, with more than a hint of top edge, and Milind runs in off the rope, throws himself at the ball, and clings on as he takes a tumble. Babar goes for 46 off 32 137/3
    19.1 finally gets one near the middle, but picks out deep midwicket! Full on off stump, muscled into the leg side, but straight down Jahangir's throat 179/7
    18.3 straight up, and the keeper claims it! Hard length ball outside off, and Shadab is surprised by the pace, perhaps expecting another slower ball. It loops up off the splice, and Gous yells at van Schalkwyk to clear the runway for him to complete the catch 177/5
    18.6 width outside off, Netravalkar gets there this time! Toe-ended to short third as Faheem has to reach for it, and the left-arm seamer takes a tumbling catch this time. 4 for 25 for van Schalkwyk! 179/6
    19.4 steps across his stumps, Netravalkar follows him and lands the wide yorker. Shaheen scampers through for a run that is never on to get himself back on strike. Gous misses at the non-striker's end with both batters mid-pitch, and Netravalkar mops up to take the bails off at the bowler's end! 182/8

    19.6 heaved high into the leg side, and lands safe at deep midwicket. They run two easily, and Shaheen rightly tells Abrar to keep running just in case. Jahangir's throw from the deep wasn't the best, but Gous ran towards the middle of the pitch to gather, and his bullseye shy from close range caught Abrar short 190/9

    4.5 tossed up and Gous holes out! Nawaz punches the air in delight. Gives this some air, 84kph on off stump and Gous gets under it, rather than hitting through the line. Well held by Salman running back from mid-off, and Pakistan have the breakthrough 42/1
    10.2 oh no... Jahangir goes one short of fifty! Slams the googly straight to long-on. Shaheen stoops to take a low catch, and that's a big blow for USA. The man born in Karachi won't be getting a half-century against Pakistan 69/3
    8.3 miscued straight up, Shadab takes it off his own bowling! Tossed-up delivery and this turns across the attempted slog-sweep from Monank, coming right off the toe end. A laboured innings from the USA captain comes to grief 58/2
    15.6 Tariq strikes! Speared down wide of the stumps, Milind goes for the big shot down the ground but only manages a thick outside edge that loops up gently to the man on the edge of the ring. Tariq stalks across lugubriously, like a man who's just been given a parking ticket. But he's done the job and broken the stand 123/4
    19.3 pinned dead in front! Shaheen strikes, Richard Illingworth raises his finger... but Ranjane opts to review, because why not? Full length, beats him on the inside edge to smack the back leg above the ankle. That is plumb, and Shubham is salmon and trout 156/8
    16.3 fired through him! Krishnamurthi goes second ball. Little legspinner, skidding on into the top of middle and off as the batter goes back looking to heave leg side. Abrar among the wickets now, USA five down and hopes of a miracle ebbing away 124/5
    18.4 low full toss, flubbed to long-off! Harmeet miscues the cross-seamer towards Nawaz in the deep, who slides forward to take the catch at an awkward height. Tariq picks up his second of the night 152/6
    18.5 bowled behind his legs! Mohsin walked all the way across during Tariq's pause and then missed as he fired the ball down at leg stump. Tariq has two in two, and he celebrates this one a bit more enthusiastically, running to his captain and performing a bow 152/7
