van Meekeren to Sahibzada Farhan, OUT

Paul van Meekeren to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by van der Merwe!! A sharp catch and NED keep themselves interested - it's 41-year old Roelf van der Merwe with a superb catch - banged in short and just outside off - Farhan was shaping for the pull, hops across and cannot get on top of the bounce, a bit of a top-edge as the ball lobbed down towards long-on, van der Merwe sprints across to his right, times the slide perfectly and comes up with a sublime effort. Soft hands and he ensured that the ball didn't pop out when he landed on the ground. Sahibzada Farhan c van der Merwe b Paul van Meekeren 47(31) [4s-4 6s-2]

Paul van Meekeren to Sahibzada Farhan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

van Meekeren to Usman Khan, OUT

Chopped on! Van Meekeren wheels away in celebration. Was a scramble-seam hard-length ball just outside off. May have seamed away a touch. Usman looked to punch it on top of the bounce to cover. Got an inside edge back onto the stumps

Usman Khan b van Meekeren 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

2/11 (2)

van der Merwe to Babar Azam, OUT

Catch is the call, and Babar falls looking to clear the boundary! Dances down and was to the pitch of the fullish ball looped from around the wicket. More of a slash than a drive from Babar and he ended up slicing it to long-off. More bunny-hop celebrations

Babar Azam c Klein b van der Merwe 15 (18b 1x4 0x6) SR: 83.33
