Sahibzada knocked the first ball for a single to get to his second century of the tournament. This one came at a strike rate of 169.

Nawaz, the new man in, played the ball straight to the fielder and was caught inside the ring.

Skipper Agha Salman missed the first delivery and then hit the ball straight into the air for an easy catch inside the ring.

The next man in, Usman Khan, drew a thick outside edge off the top of the bat and the ball raced towards the boundary over the keeper’s head.

He missed the last ball.
