Patel (50) and Gous (35) lay platform for USA run-chase
Kenjige takes three wickets
Babar (45) & Shadab (40) top score for Pakistan
Pakistan slip to 26-3 against new ball

USA have been so disciplined. I am interested to see how Pakistan are going to approach this because they can't afford to leave it too late.
But, Iftikhar Ahmed is their strong finisher so at the same time, they don't want him in too early either.
What will the US think they can chase? Shaheen Afridi and co will fancy getting the ball in these conditions. Babar, by the way, has six from 19 balls.

USA can really put the pressure on through the spinners now.
Jesse Singh, born in Queens, is bowling his medium pace. The US have spread the field. There hasn't been a boundary since the fourth delivery of the third over.

Look at how the USA players are buzzing around the field, the noise level has picked up. It's been a dream start.
Have you seen this catch yet? Watch it on repeat.
Only singles on offer. Pakistan look terrified, a real nervous wreck. This innings is already moving quickly. We're only 18 deliveries from halfway.

Bit of grip and turn now, as well. There's plenty out there for the bowlers to work with but Shadab Khan doesn't look convincing at all.
More spin. More left-arm spin. Harmeet Singh. It's turning.

What an impressive powerplay, it's been all USA.
Only three singles from the final over of the powerplay. Netravalkar has figures of 1-8 from his three overs. Pakistan are going nowhere.

USA have been brilliant. They have got a canny bowling attack and when it all comes together, it's difficult to get away.
Pakistan really are in trouble now.
They do, Frank. They do.

Stephan: Who says everything is bigger in Texas? Further to that, why would Aaron Jones take it to heart?
Frank, Kent
Netravalkar is having a third over, the last one of the powerplay. Babar is crucial for Pakistan, but is lacking fluency.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Pakistan's top order is their strength. Their middle order is quite fragile.
Come on, Aatif, we all saw this coming, right?

I didn't see this coming...
Shadab Khan is the new man. Whisper it quietly, but Pakistan haven't got loads of batting left. What's a good score from here?
