After 20 overs, Pakistan 97/1
Imam-ul-Haq: 44
Babar Azam: 7
Babar punches the ball down the ground, the ball nearly taking the non-striker out along the way. Azam leans into a full, wide delivery two balls later, slashing it past the diving fielder at point. Single to Babar off the penultimate delivery.
After 10 overs, Pakistan 58/0
Imam-ul-Haq: 30
Fakhar Zaman: 27
Just three singles collected in this over, with Fakhar and Imam choosing to rotate the strike between themselves through singles for now. End of the first powerplay, with the Pakistanis collecting 58 runs off it without losing a wicket, so far justifying Sarfaraz’s decision to bat first.
After 1 over, Pakistan 5/0
Imam-ul-Haq: 1
Fakhar Zaman: 4
Rabada concedes five in the first over of the innings, four of which are collected by Fakhar with a cut through cover off the third delivery.
