BBC Test Match SpecialThat is Tim Southee's 100th international T20 wicket. Not a bad player to get for it, either!

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's good skill from Tim Southee, taking the pace off the ball and giving a slight turn of the wrist. Babar Azam was a bit too early on the shot and now a middle order exposed that hasn't had much batting time so far.

Babar b Southee 9 (Pak 28-1)
Bowled!
Silence in Sharjah as Tim Southee rolls his wrists on the ball, Babar Azam plays a rather hurried pull shot, and gets his stumps splattered in the process.
Pak 28-0published at 5 overs
Singles are all that the rest of Trent Boult's over costs, but Pakistan are in a comfortable position after the first five.
Pak 26-0published at 4.1 overs
Shot!
Oh, Mohammad Rizwan is so fun to watch. This time it's a deft touch that beats the fielder at backward point an flies away for four.
Pak 22-0published at 4 overs
Babar Azam hustles another couple of runs through the leg side to end the over.
Pak 20-0published at 3.3 overs
A bit short and a bit leggy from Tim Southee and Mohammad Rizwan is on it in a flash, stepping across and hoicking the ball around the corner and away for four.
Pak 14-0published at 3 overs
Target 135
Oh. Oh dear.
Mohammad Rizwan has been hit amidships. Ouch.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialHe gets into such a good position and just whips his hands through the ball. That's gone in front of square.
Pak 13-0published at 2.1 overs
And he's smacked for four first up by Mohammad Rizwan!
Absolutely dismissive.

Here's Trent Boult.
Pak 9-0published at 2 overs
Target 135
Just a single and a wide from Tim Southee's opening over, one which ends with a very half-hearted lbw appeal agains Mohammad Rizwan. Nothing doing.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialHe looks like he's stepped straight out of the nets on to the pitch to face his first ball. What a sensational shot.
Pak 5-0published at 0.3 overs
Mohammad Rizwan gets Pakistan under way with a clipped single, before Babar Azam absolutely wallops Santner over extra cover for four!
Shot!
