Mohammad Shahzad to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, a full ball on the pads, Shahzad's been great with a metronomic length around off stump so far but that was poor with fine leg in the circle, Malik clips it wide of the fielder for a boundary
 

Tanweer Khan: "George - can you please clarify re WC T20 squads. I thought you could make changes until March 8th. England just replaced Finn with Plunkett at the weekend right. So Pakistan can make changes too - as this team isn't likely to get very far against India, NZ and Aus in same group." They need a valid reason for replacement - like injury - and bad form isn't one!
