    5.2 clobbered on the pads, a hopeful appeal but that looked to the naked eye like some typical Perth carry. Pakistan are reviewing all the same. Struck Madhevere high on the pad flap, but no, it's hitting off! Sufficiently flush to trigger three reds! That's a surprise, but he was a long way back, and that's the end of a fine cameo 43/2
    4.6 fast and violent, and Ervine top-edges his pull! Took his eyes off the ball at the moment of impact, beaten for sheer pace, Wasim jogs back at short fine leg, and that's the end of a lively opening stand 42/1
    9.4 poked back at the bowler! Shadab tumbles in his followthrough, swallows a looping chance in both hands and coolly takes the plaudits. Shumba was through his stroke too soon, jabbing with hand hands, and pays the price 64/3
    13.5 bullseye! Shapes for another reverse sweep but Shadab slows up the pace with more flight and Williams misses badly. Off stump is rocked back 3/4 of the way up. 95/4
    14.3 bounced out at deep square leg. Slower bouncer at 124 kph, Raza tries to whack this with a pull over a sizable square boundary at more than 80 meters and makes good contact but it needed something great to clear the rope. Simple catch taken 10 yards in at chest height. 95/6
    13.6 Edge to slip! Two in two! Beautifully flighted ball on a good length on off, Chakabva prods forward with an angled bat and the edge goes to Babar's right at slip. He stabs his right hand high above his head to the right and pull off a one-handed gem. 95/5

    14.4 chop on! 143 kph delivery back of a length on middle, Jongwe is cramped for room leaning back to try to run this off an open face to deep third man to get off the mark but instead it cannons into the stumps off a bottom edge. 95/7
    19.3 bullseye! Full and straight at 143 kph, Evans goes for another big heave and misses a half-volley, middle and leg stump are knocked back halfway up. Wasim was going for yorker and missed the length badly but the pace was still too hot for Evans to handle. 126/8

    4.4 inside-edged, into his own timbers! Too close to Rizwan for cutesy dinks... he angles the bat, trying to run the ball down to deep third, but instead, Zimbabwe have both openers in the Powerplay! 23/2
    3.3 squared up and grabbed at point! That's superb bowling, fuller length, seaming away, Babar was shaping to leg but skewed a sharp chance to the off-side instead. Snaffled in front of the face by Burl, and Pakistan's anchor slips 13/1
    15.1 stumped down the leg side! Razor sharp from Chakabva! Raza darts a quicker ball down the leg side that Masood misses trying to flick and overbalances badly. He falls right over as Chakabva collects and whips the bails off. No third umpire needed. Given out on field at square leg it was so obvious. 94/6
    7.4 down the leg side and into the keeper's gloves! Huge moment in this chase, Iftikhar closes the face too soon as the ball shapes into his hips, and a thin graze seals his fate! 36/3
    13.4 Raza strikes back! Almost a knuckle ball delivered on a fullish length on middle and off, Shadab tries to go downtown two times in a row but miscues this drive that floats to Williams at long-off, simple waist height catch taken five yards inside the rope. 88/4
    13.5 full and straight on middle and off stump, Haider plays around his pads and misses. Huge lbw shout upheld. Masood is having a chat with Haider about a review. They take the full time before Haider reviews this but it's going to be 60 seconds of our lives we'll never get back. This was stone dead. Sure enough this review is a sculpted bronze bust in the Hall of Fame for Worst Reviews of All Time. Three reds light up on ball-tracking. Hit in front of middle and off, ball smashing middle stump halfway up. 88/5
    19.5 length ball on fifth stump, Nawaz tries to muscles this over mid-off but skews it to the fielder on the ring! Basic catch reaching up at head height. 128/7

    19.6 Chakabva fumbles the relay but still recovers in time to get the bails off at the striker's end to deny the game-tying run! Zimbabwe win by one run! Full on fifth stump, driven to long-on. The fielder is Raza who was standing 10 yards in to begin with to deny a second and the ploy works. Raza charges in and collects on the edge of the 30-yard circle fires a one-bounce throw to the striker's end - Wasim took an enormous head start at the non-striker's end so throwing to the bowler was futile - Chakabva fumbles in nervous fashion initially but recovers to pick the ball up and get the bails off with Shaheen's dive a yard short. 129/8
