Charles gone already?

I'm disappointed.

This is a much more balanced XI.

Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan are at the crease.
Saim Ayub is on strike.
Akeal Hosein will open the attack

0.1
Akeal Hosein to Saim Ayub, 1 run, 94.5kph, starts with thr arm ball, on a length and around off, Saim Ayub flicks it to the left of mid-on to get off the mark

PAK 3/0 (1) CRR: 3

Sahibzada Farhan 1(2)
Saim Ayub 2(4)

Akeal Hosein
1-0-3-0

Jason Holder, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
1.1
Holder to Saim Ayub, no run, 128.9kph, no slip, over the wicket, fullish on off, Ayub taps it towards backward point with soft hands and eyes a single, gets sent back

1.4
Holder to Saim Ayub, FOUR, streaky! 128.9kph, away-angler, Ayub slashes hard for a cut, doesn't bounce much and the under-edge eludes the diving keeper to his right. First boundary of the match

1.6
Holder to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Jewel Andrew!! Edged and caught! Jason Holder is elated as he removes the 1st T20I's PoTM cheaply. 128.8kph, full and pushed across the left-hander outside off, Ayub throws his bat for a booming drive and all he manages is an outside edge. Easy grab for the keeper

Saim Ayub c Jewel Andrew b Holder 7(9) [4s-1]

PAK 9/1 (2) CRR: 4.5

Good

2.5
Akeal Hosein to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, Fakhar Zaman gets off the mark with a boundary. 95.9kph, flat and on a length outside off, Fakhar gets low and reverse-sweeps hard through backward point.

3.3
Holder to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Rutherford!! Second wicket for Holder! He's removed both the openers. Fuller than a length, attempted outswinger but not much swing. Farhan stays in his crease and clears his front leg to flay it over the infield. Ends up slicing it in the air

Sahibzada Farhan c Rutherford b Holder 3(7)

Good catch dat Jason
Three down
21/3

4.4
Akeal Hosein to Mohammad Haris, out Caught by Holder!! Mohammad Haris looks to go big and perishes. 90.2, full on leg, Haris clears his front leg to clobber it across the line. More height than distance as he mishits - off the lower part of the bat. Holder goes back from mid-on and catches it beautifully with outstretched hands. Makes a tough catch look easy

8.3
Motie to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, to deep extra cover

8.6
Motie to Salman Agha, FOUR, drifting down leg, Agha gets low and sweeps it fine of the man at 45. Romario gives the chase but he can't prevent the boundary. 18 runs off the over and 50 up for Pakistan

fACKERR GAWN !!!
9.1
Roston Chase to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Shepherd!! Chase strikes first ball. 92.8kph, full and bowled wide of off, Fakhar Zaman comes down the track and has to reach for it as he looks to loft it. Comes off the bottom part of the bat and hence doesn't get the necessary elevation

16.1
Motie to Salman Agha, 2 runs

16.2
Motie to Salman Agha, out Lbw!! 89.3kph, Salman Agha shapes to reverse-sweep and gets hit on the pad adjacent to the stumps. Given not out and WI review quickly. UltraEdge confirms no bat. Three reds on ball-tracking! Successful review

In reply to Drapsey

Being a real senior too, advising Shamar. Hosien's incite and influence surprised me, signal to Hope bring Motie back

Blind Brathtimus that Motie delivery was plumb Keeper Andrew
s knew immediately

18.5
Holder to Nawaz, out Caught by Shamar Joseph!! Fourth wicket for Holder! 125kph, he smartly shortens his length and it's pace off as well. Nawaz spots it late and miscues the pull as it hits the top part of the bat. Straight down long-on's throat

Nawaz c Shamar Joseph b Holder 2(6)

Just making sure I get it in early ...

$ammmmyyyyy!

19.3
Shamar Joseph to Hasan Ali, out Caught by Jewel Andrew!! Hasan Ali shuffles early to play the scoop. Shamar Joseph probably saw that as he went shorter and wider. The batter went through with the premeditated shot only to get a top-edge. Jewel Andrew turns around and times his dive well to pouch it safely.

Well, let's hope for the best

Holder is well spoken

Both with bat and ball he made huge strides in T20s.

Athanaze and Jewel Andrew are at the crease.
Athanaze is on strike.
Shaheen Afridi will open the attack

0.1
Shaheen Afridi to Athanaze, 1 run, back of a length delivery in the channel outside off, Athanaze stabs it to deep backward point

0.6
Shaheen Afridi to Jewel Andrew, FOUR, big hoick across the line, and it flies off the edge over backward point! Full delivery angling away, Andrew has a swipe against the angle, looking to go over midwicket

gAWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lbw

1.1
Nawaz to Athanaze, out Lbw!! Athanaze given out LBW! He has reviewed! Flat length ball turning in from fifth stump, he looks to play into the on-side, gets beaten on the inside edge and it clips the front pad in line with off stump. Would've crashed into the top of middle and leg according to ball-tracking, and the left-hander has to depart. Takes a review with him.

2.3
Hasan Ali to Jewel Andrew, SIX, wow he's picked the bones out of that! 122kph, slower ball floated up around off, Andrew spots the variation, times the batswing to perfection and lofts it beautifully over mid-off

6! My subscription too cheap to deserve seeing that shot. Should've flown to Fla. Jewel can become a very, very good batsman.

3.1
Nawaz to Shai Hope, FOUR, finds the gap! 96kph, back of a length just outside off, Hope makes room and punches it firmly through extra cover

3.4
Nawaz to Jewel Andrew, no run, leading edge doesn't carry! Or did it? The umpires are going to check with the third umpire. Drifting in on middle and leg, Andrew looks to flick it away but the ball grips a touch and takes the edge. Nawaz dives across to his left but it reaches him on the half-volley

WO keeping the game interesting

3.5
Nawaz to Jewel Andrew, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! Andrew perishes! He rocks back to pull a delivery that's probably not short enough, miscues it off the top-edge and it's a dolly for Shaheen Afridi at backward point. Second wicket for Nawaz who is doing a really good job

Jewel Andrew c Shaheen Afridi b Nawaz 12(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

That was a pretty shitty shot Jewel

Out ugly Jeez!

Following that SIX I was just about to post that the Jewel is a keeper.

Sufiyan Muqeem to Motie, out Motie Run Out!! Appeal for a run out! Third umpire will have a look! Oh this is brilliant work from the keeper, and Motie's bat is on the line. He's out of here. Fired in very full, almost in the blockhole and he squeezes it off the inside edge onto pad. He wasn't sure about where the ball was as he left the crease, and Haris pounced on the opportunity, picking it up and flicking it onto the stumps before Motie could get back in

16.5
Sufiyan Muqeem to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Mohammad Haris!! Spinners are doing the job for Pakistan. First Nawaz, then Ayub and now Muqeem. Fired in on a good length outside off, probably the googly which skids through and Carty is beaten for pace on the cut.

Holder gets them over the line! He lets out a big roar as soon as it finds the gap and runs away to the boundary. They've had a wretched run of late, and what a way to bring an end to it. He steps across the stumps expecting Shaheen to go outside off, gets a full ball and swipes it between square leg and fine leg who were in the ring
