- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 Oh dear me, more trouble for Canada! Hard length ball on the fifth stump channel angling away, plays the pull shot away from the body, lofts it with no power to clear the infield, gifts a regulation catch to Sharafu in mid-on. 19/21.6 Bajwa chips his wicket away, and the UAE bag their first wicket of the tournament! A tad fuller length ball on the stumps, presents the full face of the bat and mistimes the stroke, the bat face rotates after hitting the ball, miscues it towards mid-off and the UAE skipper does the rest at the edge of the circle. 14/112.6 back of a length ball on the pads, plays the leg glance and dabs it to short fine leg for a quick single. A direct hit at the keeper's end, and the square leg umpire sends it upstairs. Dhaliwal's bat got stuck on the line instead of sliding over, so he tried to make his ground with his foot. Oh dear, it looks like he's come up short! Third umpire Alex Wharf is carefully checking various angles and replays, taking his time with the decision, and it flashes up OUT on the big screen! Dhaliwal looked visibly upset after that run; he knew immediately that he was in trouble. Massive wicket! 96/45.1 Edged and through to the keeper! Bowls a widish length ball outside off, plays the square drive tentatively and only manages to get a thick outside edge to the wicketkeeper behind the stumps. Kirton looks incredibly frustrated, staring up at the sky with a dejected expression, and the players head off for the drinks break. 38/317.4 Slower ball does the trick! Pace off back of a length ball around off, 106 kph delivery, throws the kitchen sink at it and splices the ball towards the extra cover ring fielder. Kumar tracks back a few steps and gobbles it up, making no mistake. 129/519.1 Junaid gets his fourth scalp! Slower bouncer ball on the off stump line, backs away and plays the slog stroke awkwardly, loses his shape and only manages to find the cover fielder, Sharafu. 136/619.5 Five-wicket haul for Junaid! Bowls a fuller length ball angling in on the stumps, pace on ball, 140 kph, tonks it across the line with the toe-end of the bat and picks out the deep midwicket fielder near the ropes. 143/7Extras10 (b 1, w 9)TOTAL150/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Dilpreet Bajwa, 1.6 ov), 2-19 (Yuvraj Samra, 3.1 ov), 3-38 (Nicholas Kirton, 5.1 ov), 4-96 (Navneet Dhaliwal, 12.6 ov), 5-129 (Harsh Thaker, 17.4 ov), 6-136 (Shreyas Movva, 19.1 ov), 7-143 (Saad Bin Zafar, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 straight up in the air, and Dhaliwal pouches it! Hard length ball on the pads, charges down the track and gets cramped for space, heaves it in the air towards midwicket inside the circle. Two fielders converge, Samra and Dhaliwal, and the latter commits to the catch as Samra backs away at the very last moment, and makes no mistake. 12/16.6 Finds the breakthrough! Tossed up a fuller length ball on the off stump line, backs away early and plays the lofted cover drive, does not get quite hold of it and finds Kirton at extra cover. Sharafu was struggling to time the ball well, and his misery with the bat finally comes to an end. 41/210.3 Mayank has holed out! Generously flighted length ball around the fifth stump channel, dances down the track and tries to go downtown, toe-ends the ball miles up in the air towards straight of long on. Sana comes around and settles underneath, gobbles it up with ease. 60/312.3 picks out the midwicket fielder! Tossed up a length ball and Kaushik plays the slog sweep, miscues the stroke and doesn't get enough elevation to clear the ropes. The deep midwicket fielder rushes in and completes the catch. 66/419.3 Up in the airrrrrr, and taken by Kirton! Hard length ball angling away around off, Sohaib plays the slog stroke early and skies it towards the mid-on area. Kirton tracks back a few yards, stays calm and gobbles it up with the reverse-cup technique. 150/5Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL151/5 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.67)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Muhammad Waseem, 2.3 ov), 2-41 (Alishan Sharafu, 6.6 ov), 3-60 (Mayank Kumar, 10.3 ov), 4-66 (Harshit Kaushik, 12.3 ov), 5-150 (Sohaib Khan, 19.3 ov)
