Sami to Masakadza, , make it two in two! Sami is on a hat-trick.  :-*

Masakadza played a loose push on this back of length delivery and it was the extra pace that did the trick again.

It catches the inside edge and ricochets on to the stumps. The umpires want to check for the no-ball -

this was just as close as the last delivery - but he is fine.

Sami to Sibanda, it's all over! Sami gets his first international wicket in ages. 
Sibanda looks to pull a short delivery from outside off but gets beaten by the extra pace.

That got big on the batsman and he ends up top-edging it behind the stumps.

Sarfraz runs towards the edge of the circle and takes a good catch over his shoulder

77 - 3

Wahab Riaz to Coventry,  there goes the third one! Coventry is not happy but Pakistan are ecstatic.  a nasty short ball a bit down the leg side, but it caught Coventry in an awkward position, trying to evade it while hanging his bat
Sarfraz takes it asks the question immediately. Wahab is celebrating too. Can't be sure if there was anything on that: it's so loud.
The replays show it missed the bat and just flicked the shoulder. A bit unfortunate for the batsman there
Coventry c †Sarfraz b Riaz 14

172 - 6 after 20 overs !
