Fareed Ahmad to Naseem Shah, Appeal for a caught behind but the umpire has signalled for a wide. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is sure that he has heard something and Mohammad Nabi takes the DRS. Coming to the delivery, it's short and angling down the leg side, Naseem tries to glance but misses. The UltraEdge finds nothing. Afghanistan have now lost all their reviews.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Mohammad Nawaz, OUT! LBW! Mohammad Nawaz is given out and he decides to review the decision. This is some smart thinking from Fazalhaq Farooqi.

He is thudded on the back pad, they appeal and the umpire agrees. DRS time! UltraEdge detects nothing and the Ball Tracking confirms everything is in line. Nawaz is already walking and this game takes another twist. 25 needed off 17 balls.

Slight halt! Shadab Khan does not seem to be feeling good out there. He is looking winded in these energy-sapping conditions. The physios are back on the field to check on him. We can see some worried faces in the Pakistan dressing room. The umpires are asking them to get a move on. Shadab is good to continue and the chase resumes...
