Zulfiqar Babar to Russell, 1 run, nicely driven with the turn into the covers, along the ground this time
15.5
Zulfiqar Babar to Russell, SIX, it's too wide and full, Russell gets to free his arms and he does so by swinging them to send the ball flying a long way over the covers. What a way to get off the mark
 

A slip in place for Russell

 
15.4
Zulfiqar Babar to Haddin, 1 run, nice turn outside off and Haddin pokes it into the off side for a dangerous single, but no direct hit
 

Saaib Uppal: "If there is a wicket, I hope Misbah comes in and hits the winning runs. Well deserved for him." Half your wish is granted, but Russell comes out

Zulfiqar Babar to Smith, OUT, oh my, Smith has given it away! It was outside off and turning away a lot, Smith didn't get anywhere close to the pitch of the ball and only slogged to hand a top edge into the off side. Easy catch for KP at backward point

DR Smith c Pietersen b Zulfiqar Babar 73 (51b 7x4 4x6) SR: 143.13
15.2
Zulfiqar Babar to Haddin, 1 run, short and turning away, slapped into the covers and that'sHaddin's fifty! What an important knock to make sure Smith didn't have to do it all on his own
15.1
Zulfiqar Babar to Smith, 1 run, drilled into the covers for a single, thanks to a fumble at cover
 

Five overs to go and Islamabad 38 away. Can Quetta stage a comeback?
