  1. 50 runs

    50 for Aaron Johnson

    Aaron Johnson takes full advantage of that extra life by smearing Imad Wasim over long-on for six to bring up his half-century.

    A fine knock by the Canada opener, who will be eyeing more runs before this innings is out.

    Pakistan have dropped so many catches over their last few games.

  3. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That wasn't the easiest of catches but you would've expected that to be taken. Fakhar Zaman will be very disappointed.

  4. dropped catch

    Johnson dropped on 44

    Head in hands time for Pakistan.

    Aaron Johnson mistimes a pull high into the New York sky. Fakhar Zaman is underneath it but as the ball comes over his shoulder he fumbles it.

    Let off for dangerman Johnson.

  5. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Canada need to knock it around a little bit to give them a chance of being somewhere reasonable.

    Khan family supporting CanadaBBC Sport

    The Khan family have driven down from Toronto. They are of Pakistani heritage but are getting behind the Canadian team.

    "Since Pakistan look like they are going out we are supporting Canada today in the hope they still get through to the Super 8s," they tell me.

    Aaron Johnson has executed his skills very well today.

  8. 6 runs

    Can 63-5

    And he has done it again!

    This looked effortless from Aaron Johnson. It is no more than a flick from a delivery tossed up by Imad Wasim and the ball flies over long-on.

    Johnson moves to 43 from 33 deliveries.

  9. This is what Aaron Johnson is capable of.

  10. How's stat?!

    Haris Rauf now has 101 wickets in T20Is for Pakistan - second only behind Shadab Khan who has 107.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    You know that when it's a run a ball on a surface like this, anything can happen.

  12. Can 55-5

    We have reached the halfway point and Pakistan are all over Canada.

    All eyes on Aaron Johnson, who has scored more than all his team-mates put together (including extras).

    He goes and you suspect it will be curtains.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    That looked far too quick. A lovely seam position that held its line.

  14. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    A good delivery from Haris Rauf. Pakistan are all over them now.

    WICKET

    Ravinderpal c Fakhar b Haris 0 (Can 54-5)

    Alex Hartley called it - Canada are in a little bit of trouble.

    It is another peach from Haris Rauf, the ball holding its off-stump line and luring Ravinderpal Singh into a nervy push straight to first slip.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    This is where Canada could find themselves in a little bit of trouble here.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Movva c Rizwan b Haris 2 (Can 54-4)

    Edged...and gone.

    Haris Rauf is pushing 90mph as he fires one in back of a length. It is just too good for Shreyas Movva, who thick-edges the ball through to Mohammad Rizwan.

  18. Timothy Abraham
    BBC Sport at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York

    We're into the middle part of the first innings of the match but fans - mostly supporting Pakistan - are still trickling into the ground.

    Anyone who has driven in New York knows how busy the roads get so it's not surprising, really. The nearest train station is about 45 minutes walk from the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Imad Wasim has been so tight with his lines here.

  20. Can 52-3

    Left-armer Imad Wasim, fresh from that great bit of fielding, enters the attack and concedes just two runs from his first over.

    A rare moment of calm amongst the chaos.
