Imtiaz pathan: "I am in a spot of bother folks, whenever i swear not to watch any more pakistan, the next day they perform like champions and then again entice me. Just opened cricinfo tab and found Pakistan in a commanding position, could not believe it, am I dreaming??" No, it's for real. Pinch yourself if in doubt

FJ and Ahmad: "My 9 year old son, Ahmad, thinks that Umar Akmal loses his cool when he is under pressure due to failure of top three batsmen. Today, when the walking wicket of Khurram Manzoor was "rested", the result was refreshingly good. Good that the experiment of Khurram didn't ruin Pakistan's T20 WC."

Kulasekara to Umar Akmal, FOUR, beautiful shot. Slower and fuller outside off, he waits and waits and then lofts it cleanly over extra cover
