Mashrafe Mortaza to Umar Akmal, no run, big appeal, this time the umpire isn't convinced. Akmal pokes at an away-swinger, misses
4.5
Mashrafe Mortaza to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, appeal for lbw, almost a belated one, and the umpire raises the finger, the crowd roars in delight. The ball came back in a long way, Hafeez was hit on middle and leg, near the thigh. Mortaza was the only one who went up spontaneously before the keeper joined him and Hafeez has to walk back. Have to say he may have been unfortunate there, ball would have clearly gone over. Hafeez has a wry smile as he walks off

Mohammad Hafeez lbw b Mashrafe Mortaza 2 (19m 11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.18

Mashrafe Mortaza to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, played straight to backward point

Mashrafe Mortaza to Sarfraz Ahmed, 1 run, taps it with soft hands to the off side and scoots across for a quick single, this time Hafeez was off the blocks immediately
4.2
Mashrafe Mortaza to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, gets a thick inside edge to cover, he wanted a single but sent back by Hafeez
 

Nabeel: "Early trouble, what early trouble? They are in eternal trouble with their batting. Pathetic!"

 
4.1
Mashrafe Mortaza to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, walks across the stumps and pulls it down to deep square, didn't time it well at all
 

Here's captain Mash
