1. Pakistan 1-0 Iman 0 Fakhar 0

Cottrell with a tidy opening over. 

Makes a couple of appeals with Imam looking to chase. 

Good start for the Windies.

2.0 Pakistan 11-0 Iman 1 Fakhar 9

Fakhar with a love drive that ignites the crowd, collecting three. 

Imam now helping to rotate the strike too. 

Fakhar then whips Holder over square leg. SIX!

3.0 17-1 Iman 2 Fakhar 14

WICKET! 

Cottrell continues his fine spell, with Iman edging behind for the first wicket of the day. 

Imam simply did not get enough as he looked to help the bal down leg. 

Babar is in as his replacement. 

[31 May 2019 10:51 · Jack Rathborn]

4.0 27-1 Iman 3 Fakhar 21

Fakhar really motoring already here. 

A lovely punch into the off side, helping himself to three.

Babar's first ball is a near replica, Holder struggling to contain Pakistan so far, 20 off his two overs. 

[31 May 2019 10:57 · Jack Rathborn]

5: Pakistan 33-1 Iman 9 Fakhar 21 

Babar again going after the Windies attack, this time on the leg side for four! 

Cottrell comes back well though, tightening it up with two off the next five and four dot balls.

6. Pakistan 35-2 Babar 10 Haris 0  

WICKET 

Fakhar is bowled by IPL MVP Andre Russell! 

Haris is his replacement. Big wicket for the Windies, who take control of the game. 

[31 May 2019 11:07 · Jack Rathborn]

7. Pakistan 40-2 Babar 11 Haris 4  

FOUR! 

Haris swipes Cottrell away to the boundary, much-needed! 

Pakistan starting to build their way out of trouble here. 

[31 May 2019 11:09 · Jack Rathborn]

8. Pakistan 42-2 Babar 12 Haris 5  

Some real venom from Dre here! A lovely bouncer forcing Babar to duck for cover. 

It's followed up by another! He ends his over with one more for good measure. 

After two overs, Russell is 1-4. Very tidy indeed.
