McClenaghan to Umar Akmal, 2 runs
16.5
McClenaghan to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, shortish delivery outside off, slapped off the back foot straight to the sweeper cover. Just the one.
 

Pak in need of a boundary

Rizwan Zafar : "Umar Akmal not middling it today, going at less than run a ball and not finding gaps. "

 
16.4
McClenaghan to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, short and wide, a nice cut towards third man but Santner puts in a great dive to prevent two more runs.
16.3
McClenaghan to Shoaib Malik, no run, ooh, beats the bat of Malik. Good length on off, Malik tries a cheeky dab to third man but is beaten
 

Farhan: "Surely Akmal needs to use the long handle now! He has been in for a while."

 
16.2
McClenaghan to Umar Akmal, 1 run, full toss outside off, Akmal gets too much bat on his cut and therefore the sweeper cover cleans up easily
 

Ashokkumar Ramk: "With the pressure building up, Even the slow bowlers are looking threatening. Look at how Sodhi is bowling those flat deliveries and giving just singles."

 
16.1
McClenaghan to Umar Akmal, 2 runs, full on off, driven to long-on, a fumble from Anderson at long-off allows the second run
 

A boundary an over atleast required from here.
