End of over 4 (6 runs) Pakistan 38/1 (RR: 9.50)

Mohammad Hafeez 7 (4b 0x4 1x6)
Ahmed Shehzad 12 (10b 2x4 0x6)
Taskin Ahmed 2-0-12-0
Arafat Sunny 1-0-7-1
3.6
Taskin Ahmed to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, direct hit from mid-off and the stumps are all over the place. Umpire Kettleborough goes for a second opinion and Hafeez will have to wait on the verdict. It was his call, after he had jumped down the track and mis-hit a forehand towards mid-off. But he's quite safe.
3.5
Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 run, that's neat. All the Bangladeshi fielders are on the 30-yard circle. So Shehzad pulls his power back, dabs it towards mid-off and secures a quick single
3.4
Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, shortish and outside off, slapped into the covers. That's the old Shehzad, the one who plays pin-ball with the off-side field
W. Beard: "Arafat Sunny is bowling? Didn't they call him for a suspect action?" ----- He'd undergone testing earlier in the week. Until the results come out, he can continue bowling
3.3
Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, fuller ball on off stump, pushed to mid-on
"Pakistan's opening partnerships haven't batted for more than 4.4 overs in 2016," points out ESPNcricinfo's Mohammad Isam
3.2
Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, covers the line of a shortish delivery outside off again and glides it to point
3.1
Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, how about that! This is a totally different Shehzad, a hurt Shehzad. A Shehzad with a point to prove and he does so by picking gaps repeatedly. Midwicket is in his sights against a shortish ball outside off. Gets across in front of the ball and times the pants off it
Taskin's switched ends
Samrat Ahuja: "Dockrell, Shaqib, Watt, Santner and today Sunny: Tournament of left hand slow bowlers?"
