    That was a 27-yard delivery but unfortunately was right in the arc for Babar.

    That has gone a long, long way.

  3. Pak 51-1published at 8.1 overs

    Mark Watt's first delivery of this over is picked up for a massive six by Babar over midwicket - it's out of the ground!

    File under 'mahoosive'.

  5. Pak 44-1published at 7.4 overs

    Richie Berrington is on with his right arm medium-pacers, and keeper Cross decides he should be standing right up to the stumps when Fakhar is at the crease.

    Scotland are going well here.

  7. Pak 38-1published at 7 overs

    Fakhar Zaman is at the crease, trying a slog off the last ball of the over but clothing it low out to long on.

    That might have been the arm ball. It just skidded on and rushed Rizwan. I have been impressed.

    Scotland deserve that.

  9. wicket

    Rizwan c Cross b Hamza 15 (Pak 35-1)

    Rizwan goes! He slashes at Hamza outside off and gets an under edge through to the keeper. That's a fine catch from Cross - never easy, those.

  10. Pak 35-0published at 6 overs

    That's the end of the powerplay, and Pakistan have not raced away like I thought they might. Disciplined bowling from Scotland so far.

  11. Pak 34-0published at 5.3 overs

    Safyaan Sharif is back on, and a fine delivery has Rizwan groping outside his off stump. Not the most fluent start from Pakistan.

  12. Pak 32-0published at 5 overs

    Wheal wheels around and throws the ball back down the pitch and nearly catches Rizwan out of his ground. Fourteen came from that over.

    Wow. That has almost collided with the huge scoreboard. Rizwan had got into a traditional forward press and just clicked the wrists on it.

    What a cricket shot.

  14. 6 runs

    Pak 31-0published at 5 overs

    That's nearly out of here!

    Rizwan moves to the off and flicks it high and into the scoreboard behind midwicket!

    Sharif just couldn't quite get back in time. It was a great effort to get back.

  16. Pak 24-0published at 4.2 overs

    Babar hoicks Wheal away to leg, and it loops just over a backpedalling Safyaan Sharif.

    Next ball, and Babar flips it up and over midwicket for a fine four. This fella is class.

    That was nearly a stunning catch.

    It has been a tidy start from Scotland. They are trying to keep it nice and straight.

    Pak 18-0

    Ouch!

    Babar slams a drive low back down the pitch that hits Watt's left hand and flies away.

  20. Pak 17-0published at 3.4 overs

    Keeper Matthew Cross is kept busy with a fine take down leg off a third wide from Watt.
