2.6 A Daniyal to M Faizan
0 Slower ball on a full length, outside off. Bunted towards backward point for a single.
2.5 A Daniyal to Nasir
1 Full ball at the off peg — almost what you expected. Asim was able to get forward and ward it off towards mid-off's left and even pick a single. Hat-trick avoided. The skipper is off the mark.
Asim Ali Nasir is in at number 4. He will face the hat-trick ball from Daniyal.
Sensational comeback from Ahmed Daniyal!! Awais Zafar missed the flick and it hit his pads. Zafar departs for a golden duck and Daniyal finds himself on a hat-trick.
2.4 A Daniyal to A Zafar
W APPEAL FOR LBW! GIVEN OUT! Daniyal has two wickets in two balls. He will now be on a hat-trick. Poor from Zafar. He stood with what looked like an off-stump guard and even seemed to have moved half a step further in that direction as the bowler delivered the ball. It was on the fuller side of good length, pretty much at the off and middle. Zafar tried to flick it away, but failed to connect. The umpire did not hesitate in raising his finger.
