  1. Pak 126-6

    Tall fast bowler Shaheen Afridi is in next, and gets off the mark with a single first ball.

    He'll be itching to bowl on this surface but he's got a big job to do with bat in hand for now.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Babar lbw b Jasdeep 44 (Pak 125-6)

    Got 'im!

    Full, straight and Babar Azam plays all around it. The review was one of desperation, as Pakistan find themselves six down with four overs still to bat.

    His innings of 44 from 43 balls looks poor but it doesn't quite tell the full story. He had to weather a pretty nasty storm as wickets fell around him regularly.

    The only chance here is if it's hit him outside the line.

    This looked pretty straight.

  5. Pakistan review

    Great response!

    Babar is pinned lbw, given, but reviews with a couple of seconds to spare.

    I think he's gone.

  6. Pak 123-5

    Cut past backward point for four more!

    Pakistan are on the charge again. Too wide from Jasdeep Singh.

  7. 6 runs

    Pak 119-5

    Yep, he's going.

    Carved over point for six! What a shot.

  8. He's shown glimpses of attacking intent but the wickets falling around him has meant he's also had to rein it in at times.

  9. Pak 113-5

    Harmeet Singh responds well, with three dots to close the over.

    Babar Azam is 38 from 41 balls, five overs left. Time to go big?

  10. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    This is a test for Babar, who has gone into his shell again and is biding his time before attacking again.

  11. Pak 113-5

    Short, pulled for four.

    Babar Azam is not missing that, no matter how scratchy he's been. Harmeet Singh raises a hand in apology to his captain.

    That was a pie.

    If USA can get past Iftikhar, the pressure really is on Pakistan, who will still be eyeing 10 an over from this point.

  13. Pak 107-5

    Iftikhar Ahmed's role is to finish the innings but he's got quite a bit of time to bat here. If he can stay there though, Pakistan will be flying.

    He gets his first boundary via a thick outside edge past the keeper to spoil Ali Khan's tidy over.

    I fear for Azam Khan tomorrow when the critics have their say. He's had a lot of criticism and a lot of it has been personal.

  15. Shadab Khan was just starting to take the game away from the USA.

  16. Pak 98-5

    Iftikhar Ahmed solidly defends the first ball and deprives Kenjige of his hat-trick, but he finishes with 3-30.

    Decent.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Azam lbw b Kenjige 0 (Pak 98-5)

    Gone! Azam Khan departs for a first ball duck and Kenjige is on a hat-trick with one ball remaining in his spell!

    A soft dismissal, Azam going back to a full-ish delivery and playing all around it. He trudges off with a shake of the head.

  18. Pakistan review

    Two in two?

    Is Azam Khan gone first ball? It's given lbw on the field but he sends it upstairs. I think he's in trouble here.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Shadab c Netravalkar b Kenjige 40 (Pak 98-4)

    Well, that break didn't help him very much.

    Pakistan's momentum is stalled again after a fightback. Shadab Khan sweeps firmly, but it's straight into the hands of short fine leg.

    A smart catch - that was hit firmly. USA are back in it.

  20. Pak 98-3

    Bit of a delay as Shadab Khan is treated for some cramp. Standby.
