Amjad Javed to Shoaib Malik, SIX, a half-volley on middle, angling into the right-hander, Malik gets under it and hoists it far over the cow corner boundary to take Pakistan within four runs of victory
 

Hamza: "Can the coach still not see how well suited Umar Akmal is for No.3? I mean how hard is it its been over 4 years and they still cant see it."

Amjad Javed to Shoaib Malik, no run, a good length ball on middle after ages, Malik defends towards the bowler
17.4
Amjad Javed to Umar Akmal, 1 run, flicked along the ground to deep midwicket
17.3
Amjad Javed to Umar Akmal, SIX, deep in the stands beyond cow corner, the 100 stand comes up off 87 balls. Akmal heaved a full ball off the front foot with great use of his wrists
17.2
Amjad Javed to Umar Akmal, FOUR, short and wide outside off, clearly overcompensated for that previous ball, Akmal waits on the back foot and cuts so hard, with a real flourish, third man is in the circle and that ball raced past him
17.1
Amjad Javed to Umar Akmal, SIX, cannot bowl full tosses on the pads and expect to get away with it, Akmal gets on the front foot and hits across the line, lofting the ball into the stands beyond square leg
 

Pakistan need 27 off 18 balls.
