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
Target 160
The US haven't been derailed by the wicket. Gous drives Haris Rauf through the covers and the sweeper can't prevent the boundary. It was another full toss from a Pakistan fast bowler. We were expecting a good tune from the four-pronged pace attack, but they have bowled like East 17.

Gous picks up length so quickly. He is going to be a very important player in this chase.
Target 160
Take that! Gous might have had some luck first ball, but this is a top shot, a pull in front of square with fast hands and oodles of intent. Naseem had bowled well until then.
Target 160
Almost two in two!
Andries Gous is the new man, edging his first ball just short of Iftikhar at wide first slip.

That's what Pakistan were waiting for. Naseem Shah finally hits a good length.

That wicket has got to give them a boost, it's come at a good time.
Taylor c Rizwan b Naseem 12 (USA 36-1)
How Pakistan need this!
Steven Taylor feels outside the off stump and edges Naseem Shah through to Muhammad Rizwan.
Can Pakistan build on this?
Target 160
Pakistan are flat, like they are waiting for something to happen. The US look full of intent and confidence. Their running between the wickets is excellent. If you didn't know, you'd be hard-pressed to identify the former champions from the novices.

Pakistan are really struggling.

That's a clinical pull shot, but it's such poor bowling.
Target 160
Awful from Mohammad Amir. Rank long hop that Monank easily pulls for four.

Image source, Getty ImagesCricket Ref: This score is under par but Pakistan's attack will be too good for the States. Pakistan to win by approx 20 runs.

I've been so impressed by the intent shown by the openers and their body language is so positive, mainly through their running between the wickets.
Target 160
Naseem Shah is into the attack. I can't remember Pakistan bowling a bouncer yet.

Exceptional decision-making from the umpire.
USA 24-0
Pitched outside leg. That's a bit desperate from Pakistan.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
It looks a good shout. The only question is where did it pitch?
USA 24-0
Shaheen to Monank. Not out. Trapped on the crease. Didn't look out.

Iftikhar didn't move a muscle. For me, he has got to go for that.
