It was a day to forget for Pakistan’s batting line-up yet again, as the majority of their batters fell in the pursuit of chasing wide balls. Resuming from 9/2, opener Saim Ayub (20) was the first batter to be dismissed, caught at mid-off against Taskin Ahmed. Shan Masood (28), Saud Shakeel (2), Babar Azam (11), Mohammad Ali (0), Abrar Ahmed (2) and Mir Hamza (4) didn’t make much contributions as Pakistan suffered another collapse.
Mohammad Rizwan (43) and Salman Ali Agha (47 not out) put on 55 runs for the seventh wicket to lead Pakistan’s recovery from 81/6 before Mahmud scythed through the lower order to dismiss the hosts for 172.
