Sahibzada started the second over with a cracking shot towards the off side. He was offered a little room to free his arms and made full use of the width.

The second ball was blocked by Sahibzada, while the third was knocked towards the sweeper for a single. Saim then ran a quick double on the board.

With the ball swinging slightly, both batsmen appear keen to play bit shots as well as keep the scoreboard ticking with singles and doubles.

Saim ended the over with a single.
