England lead 1-0 in three-match series
Maqsood st Billings b Moeen 24 (Pak 75-7)
It's death by spin for Pakistan. Maqsood is the latest to go, charging Moeen and missing it down the leg side, and Billings does brilliantly to gather and take the bails off. Surely that's the game?

Muhammed Bilal: Can't be a Pakistan match without a run-out...
Graham Whitehead: It's not like Pakistan to gift a run-out.
Anwar Ali, who can bat, is the new man.

"It's very intelligent bowling. A new batsman - he took the pace off the ball, it looped, it turned a fraction. Shahid Afridi, who came in to a tumultuous reception, has hit his second ball straight to mid-off."

It gets worse for Pakistan - now the captain is back in the hutch. It's great bowling from Parry again, taking all the pace off the ball and inducing Boom Boom to chip a soft catch to mid-off.

"That was a terrible mix-up, but it's also extremely tight as to who got in. They were sprinting together to get to the non-striker's end."
U Akmal run out 19 (Pak 74-5)
We've seen some great run-outs by Pakistan on this tour. But I think this might be my favourite yet. Maqsood miscues a pull along the ground to midwicket and sets off - but Umar Akmal decides he doesn't want the run halfway down and the two end up racing each other to the non-striker's end while Billings calmly takes the bails off at the striker's end. A shambles.

That is just brutal. Slightly short from Parry and when you're bowling that slowly, you're asking for trouble. Heaved almost 100 metres into the stands by Maqsood. But then...
Image source, AFPA good end to the over from Moeen, just two runs off the last three balls.
Umar Akmal beats gully with a clever backward cut that goes to the boundary.

Alan Vaughan: No toss-another nail in the tomb of traditional cricket. Next the dreaded beach cricket will take over from the Tests.
Very, very good over from Parry - just four singles from it, varying his pace and flight devilishly.

Sam Rosser: Good to see 2 lads who've played no cricket come in, look hungry and take their chance. Tells you a lot about the new coach.
England have gone spin-crazy! Moeen and Parry on, and Adil Rashid still waiting in the wings. Maqsood uses his feet to Moeen and that's gone all the way - huge swing of the bat and it's dropped in the England coaching dug-out! Dear oh dear - eyes on the ball, lads!
Umar Akmal is the new batsman. He's off the mark with a drive into the covers for two.

"A lovely piece of bowling - and a very confident piece of bowling. It's a delight to see the variation of pace. That was very slow - 43mph. The batsman had more or less completed his shot before the ball had passed him. He made the batsman look stupid."

John Quinn: Have you heard of the plan to show the Flintstones in UAE? Apparently those in Dubai don't like it but those in Abu Dhabi do :)
