Mohammad Hafeez: Definitely we wanted to get 175 on this pitch. Nicely paced by Malik. You need to go there and see how the ball is coming. We know Sharjah is low and skiddy but in my innings I wanted to play my shots and wanted to play straight because we needed momentum. And that was carried forward by Babar and Malik. We do consider the conditions and adapt accordingly.
7.36pm: That is a barnstorming finish and a half from Shoaib Malik. Just one four from him but six sixes. And it felt like he hit 12 of them. Pakistan have looted 114 runs in the last 8 overs. They've got a monstrous 189 on board right now and Scotland will have to have the batting performance of their lives to chase it down. Danyal will be back with you for the chase.
