19.2 - Sami to Sean Williams, FOUR, full and on batsman's pads, it was almost on a yorker length, Williams did well there to work it behind square on the on-side, finds the gap and the ball runs away to the fence

14.1 - Shoaib Malik to Sean Williams, FOUR, 50 of the partnership comes up with this boundary, this was a low full toss from Malik, Williams kneels down and sweeps this magnificently, splits deep square leg and deep mid-wicket to perfection

13.4 - Anwar Ali to Sean Williams, FOUR, back-of-the-hand slower short ball on the stumps, Williams backs away, waits for the ball to arrive and pulls it through mid-wicket, the fielder in the deep runs to his right but the ball evades him and crashes into the fence

13.3 - Anwar Ali to Sean Williams, FOUR, that's a great shot. It was full and around off, Williams goes across and whips this through square leg, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

4.2 - Imad Wasim to H Masakadza, FOUR, Masakadza gives the charge this time around and lofts it over the bowler's head, he didn't time this properly but it had enough legs to reach the fence

2.3 - Bhatti to H Masakadza, FOUR, three in three for Masakadza! This was very well played. Bhatti shortens his length this time around and bowls it outside off, Masakadza waits inside the crease and opens the face of the bat at the last time, gets it fine and to the right of the keeper. Third man was squarer and was in no position to stop that

17.0 - Afridi to Sean Williams, SIX, what a way to get to your maiden T20I fifty. This was floated up, Williams kneels down and slog sweeps it over square leg, there was protection in the deep but the ball sails over the fielder quite comfortably

7.0 - Imad Wasim to Sibanda, SIX, that's a good shot from Sibanda, this was flighted on the stumps, Sibanda lofts it through the line, there was a fielder at long-on but the ball sails over him quite comfortably, good way to end the over

8.3 - Shoaib Malik to H Masakadza, out Caught by Anwar Ali!! Pakistan get the first breakthrough, Masakadza is not at all happy with himself. This was tossed up on the stumps, Masakadza goes for a big hit over long-on, but doesn't quite get under it. Anwar Ali at long-on takes a simple catch and the Pakistani players mob Shoaib Malik. H Masakadza c Anwar Ali b Shoaib Malik 39(32) [4s-4 6s-1]

0.5 - Anwar Ali to Sibanda, 3 runs, uppish and safe! This was full outside off, Sibanda goes for another lofted drive, slices it in the air, Malik at cover-point runs to his right, extends his right hand and gets his fingertips on the ball, the ball rolls away towards the sweeper cover region, Malik gives chase and hauls the ball back in time to save a run

10.0 - Cremer to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, poor ball to end the over from Cremer, it was way short and it got the punishment it deserved, Malik goes deep in the crease and pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence. Spoils what was turning out to be a good over

7.5 - Cremer to Nauman Anwar, FOUR, now the reverse sweep from Anwar and he connects really well with it. It was a flighted delivery around off, Anwar sends it over short third man and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

6.1 - Utseya to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, that's a freebie from Utseya, he bowls this way too short, Mukhtar had all the time in the world to rock back, he pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence with ease

4.4 - Vitori to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, bowls this on middle stump line, Shehzad mistimes the whip through mid-wicket but the ball had enough legs to reach the fence

1.5 - Vitori to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, overcompensates and bowls this on the pads, all Mukhtar had to do was to tuck it away behind square on the on-side, the ball races away to the fence

1.4 - Vitori to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, edged and four! This was bowled fuller and slightly wide outside off, Mukhtar goes for the drive and throws the kitchen sink at it, gets a thick outside edge that runs away past slip and into the third man fence

1.3 - Vitori to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, cracking shot! Short and enough width on offer, Mukhtar hangs back and cuts it to the left of backward point, third man runs to his right but the ball was too quick for him

19.1 - Vitori to Bhatti, SIX, that's a massive hit at this stage of the game. This was bowled on a length and angled across off, Bhatti slogs hard and clears the long-on fence easily

16.4 - Mpofu to U Akmal, SIX, tonked! This was once again full and outside off, Akmal lofts it over the long-off fence. The fielder was interested for some time but it sailed well over his head

14.3 - Sean Williams to U Akmal, SIX, caught but falls over the rope! This was short from Williams, Akmal pulls it high over mid-wicket, Vitori in the deep takes the catch, but loses his balance and falls over the rope. The umpire signals a six

7.2 - Cremer to Mukhtar Ahmed, SIX, Mukhtar backs away and smashes this flatter delivery over the long-on fence. Even though he had to reach out to play that shot, he cleared the boundary rope by quite some distance

18.2 - Mpofu to Rizwan, out Caught by S Raza!! Mpofu is down on his knees after taking this wicket. It's a great catch from Raza. This was a slower ball on a length outside off, Rizwan slogs across the line but goes through the shot early, he doesn't make the desired connection. Raza from deep mid-wicket runs forward to his right, dives and takes a great catch. This game just keeps on getting interesting. Rizwan c S Raza b Mpofu 6(7)

17.3 - Sean Williams to Anwar Ali, out Bowled!! Poor cricket from Ali, this was a full toss from Williams, Ali comes down the track and wanted to whack it hard. Instead of making a connection with the ball, he ends up yorking himself and the ball crashes into the leg stump. Anwar Ali b Sean Williams 2(3)

16.5 - Mpofu to U Akmal, out Lbw!! That's as plumb as it gets. This was the slower ball from Mpofu, Akmal wanted to slog it out of the park after kneeling down. He misses it completely and the ball hits him in line with the middle stump. The bowler started appealing and tumbled over. By the time the umpire nodded and raised his finger, Mpoful was lying flat on the pitch and celebrating. Anyway, it is a big wicket for Zimbabwe in this situation. U Akmal lbw b Mpofu 30(21) [4s-1 6s-2]

14.2 - Sean Williams to Afridi, out Caught by S Raza!! Boom-Boom is gone and the crowd has gone silent. This was bowled quicker by Williams, Afidi lines up for another slog, but this time he skies it very high. There were two fielders converging around the mid-on region, Raza almost crashed into him while trying to take it. He did well to hold onto it on the second attempt. The Pakistani captain makes his walk back. Afridi c S Raza b Sean Williams 7(3) [6s-1]

13.3 - S Raza to Mukhtar Ahmed, out Caught by Sibanda!! This is a big, big wicket for Zimbabwe. The dangerman Mukhtar is gone. This was flighted on the stumps, Mukhtar backs away and lofts it through the line. He didn't quite get underneath the ball and offers a simple catch to Sibanda at long-on, who moves to his left and takes a simple catch. Mukhtar Ahmed c Sibanda b S Raza 62(40) [4s-6 6s-1]

10.4 - Utseya to Shoaib Malik, out Shoaib Malik Run Out!! Brilliant bit of fielding by Utseya. This is the first time that Shoaib Malik has been run-out in T20 cricket. It was bowled flatter and quicker as Malik gave the charge, he punches it to the right of the bowler, who quickly goes across and stops the ball. Malik was not expecting Utseya to throw the ball, but the bowler quickly gets up and releases the throw towards the striker's end. By the time Malik tried to get in, the direct-hit from Utseya had already crashed into the stumps. Shoaib Malik run out (Utseya) 7(7) [4s-1]

8.3 - Utseya to Nauman Anwar, out Caught by Sibanda!! Utseya strikes for Zimbabwe. It was not a wicket-taking delivery, but Zimbabwe won't mind it one bit. This was quicker and short outside off, Anwar goes for the pull but the ball hits him high on the bat, Sibanda at long-on stations himself in front of the rope and takes a well-judged catch. Nauman Anwar c Sibanda b Utseya 18(10) [4s-2 6s-1]

4.5 - Vitori to Ahmed Shehzad, out Caught by Sibanda!! Shehzad departs trying to score big during the mandatory powerplay. This was a short delivery outside off, Shehzad goes for the pull but gets a top-edge, Sibanda at mid-off takes the simplest of catches. Ahmed Shehzad c Sibanda b Vitori 18(17) [4s-3]

12.4 - Utseya to U Akmal, 1 run, dropped! That's a poor effort from the Mpofu, this was fairly short and down leg, Akmal swivels and pulls it in the air towards deep backward square leg, Mpofu near the boundary rope dives over it and fails to connect. A very poor effort from the medium-pacer

12.1 - Utseya to Mukhtar Ahmed, 2 runs, quicker on the stumps, Mukhtar whips it wide of long-on, good running ensures that they come back for the second
