0.1
Joseph to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, nips away off the seam from length outside off,

Shehzad hops back and defends! 

1.6
Gabriel to Kamran Akmal, SIX, length ball on middle, Kamran has deposited that deep into the stands at deep midwicket. Imperious pull, connected cleanly. Couldn't have asked for a better start upon return, could he?

  1.5
Gabriel to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, square drive right out of the top drawer. This one's struck on the up. Beautifully timed. Just leant into it and caressed it. No one moved..

2.2 Joseph to Shehzad, dropped. Ashley Nurse puts down a rather difficult chance. Those kind of catches stick sometimes, not today though  :-[
