21st over — Hasan Ali again

That kept a little low, Warner pushes back down the pitch after doing well to jab his bat down and keep it down.

Outside off, left well alone by Warner.

20th over — Sajid Khan

Pakistan needs a wicket. Is Sajid Khan the man to get it? I don't know.

Warner defends off his stumps, a good, well-flighted ball.

Four! Warner skips down the pitch and lofts a shot over midwicket for four runs. There was a cry of catch, but no fielders there to oblige the bowler.

He cuts away from a ball that was dragged down, straight to point.

Warner cuts straighter this time and gets a single to cover.

Khawaja defends the last.

19th over — Hasan Ali comes back into the attack after lunch

Down the leg side first up from Ali to Khawaja.

And again, forcing Rizwan into another good diving stop down to his left. Both keepers have been excellent so far in this match.

Khawaja pushes into the off side, no run.

Khawaja defends back down the ground, stuck on his crease but far from hurried in any way.

Now he cuts, there's no run there despite the slight misfield at point.

Good, solid defence into the off side by Khawaja as Hasan Ali gets his line right in the back half of the over.
