Bumrah to Shoaib Malik, no run, oh wow, that is some delivery from Bumrah, it angled into the right-hander from over the wicket, pitched around off stump and seamed away from Malik, who was squared up in his crease and beaten on the outside edge as he tried to defend
3.5
Bumrah to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short of a length with width outside off, Malik has a great square drive and he finds the gap at point with ease
3.4
Bumrah to Shoaib Malik, no run, good length just outside off and the ball holds its line, Malik begins to push at it but then pulls his bat inside the line
 

Shoaib Malik is the new batsman.

 
 

Wilfred Hickens: "Subcontinent cricketers who are good in the field are worth their weight in gold. Think about how many extra wicket taking deliveries Pakistan has to bowl each match, to compensate for lack of outstanding fielding efforts that teams like Australia and NZ have.

Bumrah to Sharjeel Khan, OUT, caught at a wide first slip! Sharjeel stays in his crease and tries to cut one that bounces a bit more. That was a thick edge and it flew quickly to Rahane and he has such safe hands. Bumrah is having a ripping game so far

Sharjeel Khan c Rahane b Bumrah 7 (18m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 140.00
3.2
Bumrah to Sharjeel Khan, no run, fuller and wider outside off stump, Sharjeel lets it go, maybe he it was wide
3.1
Bumrah to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, again the length is not that short at all but Sharjeel pulls the ball against the angle across him to the wide long-on boundary, great timing and execution because there was little room to work with
