Guruge gets his revenge as Maqsood chips a catch to backward point and Rohan Mustafa briefly juggles with it before holding on. Maqsood made 33 from 27 balls with two sixes - but no fours.

"That's a decent hit there. It's not the shortest of boundaries to that corner and that's bouncing down to the gates to the northern end."

Suddenly it's a carnival of sixes in Napier as Misbah flips Guruge over the short boundary at square leg, Maqsood skies one over long-on which may have even bounced out of the ground, and that's the cue for fourth umpire Marais Erasmus to bring out a Bond villain-style attache case with some replacement balls.

"What did I say about me being in the game? Maqsood's straight six lands on top of our commentary box and might even have clonked me on the head had it not been for the roof. I need to be wary of leather flying through the window and taking out my laptop, but it might have got me on the telly."

I think it did get you on the telly.

"It was a mighty strike over mid-off and I reckon that missed our plate glass commentary box by two feet."

Misbah chops Karate to deep point where just for once, the UAE are indebted to some good fielding as Andri Berenger pulls out the full-length dive. After his first 22 balls were boundary-less, Misbah finally finds one to his liking as he expertly heaves a six over wide mid-wicket - while Maqsood takes aim at the TV & radio commentary boxes with a baseball-style blast over the bowler's head for the 200th six of the tournament.

"Unless Shahid Afridi can strike a few late over the ropes, I don't think this is a pitch with a score that will resemble anything like the road we're normally used to here. It's not quite been spot on to time for everyone."

"For the tunes he's played today, the DJ in Napier is comfortably the best in the tournament. Dire Straits, Ian Drury and now Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough'. It's like being in Reflex on a Saturday night. Orange Reef, kebab, taxi home."

The UAE turn back to left-arm seamer Manjula Guruge, who's got five overs left, at what has variously been described as the Embankment End, the Marine Parade End and the Pacific Ocean End. I prefer to think of it as the Grassy Bank End, myself... anyway, not for the first time in this tournament, Guruge - who was born in Sri Lanka - reminds the TMS commentators a little of Chaminda Vaas. No fireworks from Pakistan - six singles from the over. This stand is worth 45.

"Pakistan will be looking to put an exclamation mark on this innings. It's been very steady and settled so far, nothing too extravagant. It's been steady accumulation, but from their own performance sake, they'll really want to put the hammer down now."

Misbah takes aim at cow corner, hoisting Karate into the Napier sky but in damp-looking conditions, the ball "plugs" almost immediately as soon as it lands and they can only run two. Pakistan have only taken Karate to the boundary twice in his seven overs.

UAE have 10 overs left - and if I were the skipper, I'd go for two from Naveed, five from Guruge, and on this form, another three from Karate rather than going back to Javed or Khurram.

"That was a very poor over. One of the poorest so far. I can see the captain remonstrating with the bowler. With the field back straight that requires you to bowl full and straight and he's not stuck to that."

Sadly for the UAE, while Karate is doing his best to keep it tight at one end, Javed is serving up all sorts of leg-side fodder at the other end. Maqsood fills his boots with three fours, all through fine leg, and Javed (0-50 from seven) may be done for the day.

"At the interval on Test Match Special, you can hear my interview with Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq. He's very good - talking everything from taking over after spot-fixing, not being able to play in Pakistan, his bowlers being banned and if he is the reason why the IPL began."

He may be one of the more unlikely options to bowl at this stage of the innings, but medium-pacer Karate's doing a decent job here for the UAE and is not the easiest for the batsmen to get away. Even when he attempts a slower-ball bouncer, Misbah can't time it and can only chip a two over mid-wicket. Karate has 0-35 from six.

"Pakistan will want 300 and probably more than that for their own confidence and form more than anything to do with the situation of the game."

The UAE keep Naveed's last two overs up their dark grey sleeves and turn back to the lanky Amjad Javed for a second spell - but the boundary drought is ended as Maqsood crashes a four to the short mid-wicket boundary in front of the dressing rooms. Again, the UAE out-cricket is a little scrappy, the ones and twos are coming easily.

Mark Kelly: And that's the importance of wickets folks! Only 29 from a batting powerplay! Game on.

We're out of powerplay, Karate's still bowling, and the UAE are still sloppy in the field as Khurram Khan needlessly throws at an unguarded set of stumps and Pakistan earn an overthrow. I'm not sure whether the phrase "buzzers" - popular with Old Etonians such as TMS's Henry Blofeld - has made it to the United Arab Emirates. We've not had a boundary for nearly five overs.
