Four!

WIDE! Banged in short over middle, way too short though and this one flies over Masood's head.

Oh! Length in the channel and this one shapes away late. Abdullah Shafique has a lazy waft at it but is beaten.

Lands it on middle, Abdullah Shafique turns it to square leg for one.

Length, sliding down leg, Abdullah Shafique looks to block it but wears it on his pads. A stifled appeal but turned down.

Full, on off, Abdullah Shafique blocks it to mid off.

Short, on off, Abdullah Shafique punches it to the point fielder.

FOUR! Perfectly timed stroke! Length, outside off, Abdullah Shafique opens the face of the bat and guides it elegantly behind the square on the off side for a boundary.

Length, on off, Shan Masood hangs back and blocks it solidly to the right of the bowler. Excellent start from Brydon Carse!

Oh,
