15.6
Sodhi to Umar Akmal, 1 run, flat but straight on off, another cut from Akmal but fails to find the gap again. One to point
15.5
Sodhi to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, full toss but just one. Malik comes down but hits the drive all along the ground to cover
 

Sekar: "Shoaib Malik should be batting at no 3. "

 
15.4
Sodhi to Umar Akmal, 1 run, short and wide, slapped to point
15.3
Sodhi to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, oh man, a rank long-hop outside off, not great timing on the pull to midwicket. Should have been put in the stands
15.2
Sodhi to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, a massive slog from Malik first up, the inside-half smear earns Pakistan two
 

Two of Pak's best batsmen out here now, Malik comes out

 
15.1
Sodhi to Shahid Afridi, OUT, what a catch from Anderson at long-off. Match-changing moment. Afridi came to the pitch and got under it too, just not enough elevation as the lofted drive flies down to long-off. Looks like it still has enough to clear Anderson but he stretches out his long arms to take a stunner. Timed his leap to absolute perfection

Shahid Afridi c Anderson b Sodhi 19 (9b 2x4 1x6) SR: 211.11
 

Amit: "This pair can do it for Pak. Both have to play sensibly and run between the wickets more sensibly "
