    1.2 gone! Tanvir puts in the effort ball as he moves it in and Tamim has a wild swing at it but is beaten all ends up and is castled. 9/1
    7.6 outside the off stump and swinging away, Nafees looks to cut it but gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Dar takes his time in giving his decision but what was Nafees doing chasing that wide delivery? 40/2
    11.3 on the off stump, Aftab comes down the track and looks to loft it away on the off side but gets an outside edge back to the keeper, Akmal who pouches it. What got into Aftab's mind as he was batting pretty well but he throws it all away 49/3
    16.1 on the off stump and slower in pace, Ashraful looks to pull it away on the leg side or rather more a swish and misses it and turns back to see the wood work rearranged. This is talent throwing it away, how many times did we say this about Ashraful and he needs to be accountable for all his silly shots 65/4
    24.2 on the off stump and Raqibul, who has been scrapping around for a while gets an inside edge onto his pads and the ball bobs up from the pads as Akmal comes diving forward and takes a one handed catch. Quite an acrobatic effort that by Akmal and it is refreshing to watch 92/9
    16.2 slower delivery outside the off stump and moving away a touch, Shakib looks to cut and gets a faint edge back to the keeper and walks. He makes it an easier job for Bucknor 66/5
    17.5 outside the off stump, Raqibul pushes it to cover and calls but Yousuf gathers the ball and throws it back to Afridi who whips off the bails. Poor running by the batsmen? What else have we got to see 68/6
    23.1 Afridi bowls a flipper on the middle stump and Reza is shocked by the pace and thrusts his pads forward as he is hit flush on them and is plumb in front 92/7
    23.2 Ghosh gets a ball on the off stump and turning away and gets an outside edge which grazes Akmal's gloves and Younis does well to take the catch at first slip off the deflection 92/8
    29.5 on the off stump and fuller in length, Mashrafe comes down the track and lofts it straight down the throat of Sohail Tanvir at long off to hand over the match to Pakistan 129/10
