Akif Javed to Aaron Hardie, no run - a direct-hit and is Kusal Mendis back in? Saim Ayub the man from backward point. KJP goes to him and has a chat - surely in Sinhala. This is out? No. The reactions of Kusal Mendis says it all. He took a long time to get back to his feet. This is a short of length delivery on middle, Aaron Hardie goes on the back foot to whip, the thick inside-edge hits the pad and rolls in front of backward point, Kusal is sent back and the dive is just enough as Saim hits direct and the bat is on the line. The third ump has multiple looks at it, Alex Wharf the man. He takes his time and feels that some part of the bat is inside. A miniscule part of the bat he feels is in. Very tight call that. Very. Any other ump and you could've had a different call. Big call that and it goes in favor of Kusal

Mohammad Ali to Babar Azam, out Caught by Usman Khan!! What a wicket that is. Babar Azam shadow-practices the square-drive as he walks off. He gestures that it bounced extra. It's full and wide outside off - shapes away, Babar throws the bat on the drive and the outside-edge flies to Usman Khan who takes a good catch to his right. The in-form Babar walks off for a golden duck and that's two in the over for Mohammad Ali who is at sweeper cover celebrating as the others try to catch him. They took the slip out and forced the mistake from Babar. No feet and that caused his downfall. Babar Azam c Usman Khan b Mohammad Ali 0(1)

Aaron Hardie to Akif Javed, FOUR - oh, that flew off the bat! On a back of a length and cutting in, Akif Javed punches it with good power. It goes past Aaron Hardie's outstretched hand in a flash. Perhaps it went past him before he reacted. The fielder at long-on moves to his left and dives full length but it doesn't work
Aaron Hardie to Akif Javed, no run - full delivery in line of the stumps, pushed back to the bowler
Aaron Hardie to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Iftikhar Ahmed!! Saim Ayub holes out! He had no other option but to go for it but this time the slower delivery gets the better of him! On a length around off - Saim Ayub backs away a bit and goes for a big hit downtown but only manages to toe-end it towards the mid-on region. Iftikhar moves across to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and reverse cups it nicely. He dropped Ayub earlier but he doesn't make a mistake this time. A really good knock from Ayub nonetheless.

Nahid Rana to Saim Ayub, no ball - oh, that seems to be have slipped out of Nahid Rana's hand! 140.4kph high full-toss outside off, Saim Ayub had backed away and he had to let it go. No ball for height. Free Hit coming up...
Nahid Rana to Saim Ayub, no run - Saim Ayub has been trapped in front but he takes the review straightaway! He didn't have any other choice! Was a pacy yorker length delivery around leg-stump, Saim Ayub was caught in the crease as he tried to flick it across but got beaten on the inside edge to get struck on the pads. Is it pitching in line though? UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it's just pitching outside leg-stump. A sigh of relief for Saim Ayub & Co

Aaron Hardie to Hassan Khan, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Kingsmen continue to slip! They have more than ten overs to play but they seem to be in a hurry! The need of the hour is someone anchoring the innings but it isn't happening for them for now. Hassan Khan danced down the track and moved leg-side in the process. Aaron Hardie showed good game awareness as he banged it short outside off. He made Hassan Khan reach out to it and he went for a big hit downtown. Ended up slicing it over backward point. Kusal Mendis moved across to his right from squarish third man and dived to take it inches above the ground. The fielding and catching has been on point for Zalmi.

Nahid Rana to Saim Ayub, out Kusal Perera Run Out!! Another one bites the dust! A skiddy hard length delivery angling in and cramping Saim Ayub for room. He tries to run it down to third man but only manages to get it off the inner half down the track. He calls his partner through and Kusal Perera responds. Nahid Rana is running towards the ball across to his right on his followthrough and Perera has to slow down. He has to change direction slightly as he moves to his left and has to scurry across. Bracewell charges in - picks up the ball and hits the bull's eye with an under-arm throw. Perera is not happy as he complains to the umpires that there was an obstruction from the bowler. It has been taken upstairs by both the umpires as they feel that Nahid Rana might have obstructed Kusal Perera. The replays roll in. Nahid Rana had moved across towards the ball and he slowed down momentarily when Perera was near him but he wasn't looking at him. He had his eyes on Bracewell. The third umpire feels the same way. The big dive from Kusal Perera didn't save him as he was just short of the crease when the bails came off. Labuschagne isn't happy and has a chat with the fourth umpire but Perera has to go. Kusal Perera run out (Michael Bracewell) 1(2)

They are ruling the roost in favourable conditions! 142.7kph shortish delivery shaping in on middle and leg. It gets big on Glenn Maxwell but he still goes for an expansive pull shot off his first delivery. Ends up miscuing it completely to wide mid-on where the fielder makes no mistake. Not a good shot to play first up and Maxwell has paid the price for it. He departs for a golden duck and Kingsmen have already lost half their side. Glenn Maxwell c Farhan Yousaf b Nahid Rana 0(1)
