Amir to Gayle, out Caught by Shadab Khan!! This was coming. This was really coming. Gayle's back doesn't allow him to hang around pushing and prodding any longer - not that he was doing it in the first place - but with this dodgy back of his, he was bound to slog at everything. Amir smartly keeps the length short, climbing on his across-the-line swipe to take a top-edge out to backward point. Gayle c Shadab Khan b Amir 50(34) [4s-6 6s-3]

Amir to Pooran, FOUR, width, a sitting up length and Pooran's done getting beaten. Throws his hands out, slicing it powerfully through sweeper

Sameer: Wahab Riaz is a different bowler in World Cups. He brings that X-factor and raw intensity along with Amir. The selectors have made a smart move and now the rest of the team needs to pull up their socks.

Riaz to Gayle, FOUR, tries following him with a cramped bumper. And Gayle now pulls conventionally, heaving, no, murdering it through deep mid-wicket

Viswa: The only good thing for Pakistan with their low score is their premium fast bowler back on track. That is some big positive for them while the tournament progresses.

Riaz to Gayle, FOUR, oh, better. Looks to move inside the line at first, then all of a sudden goes away and slaps it away over point. Hmmm, audacious, yes, but looks like Gayle's pulled a muscle in his back in the process

Amir to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Edged and gone! An iffy Bravo goes for a duck. A back of a length delivery with a bit of extra bounce. The line was wide of off and a tentative Bravo stuck his bat out to poke. Gets a thick outside edge and Babar Azam pouches it with ease at second slip. Darren Bravo c Babar Azam b Amir 0(4)

Thomas to Shadab Khan, out Lbw!! Pakistan are in absolute shambles now - this is brilliant bowling from Thomas - a new man in and he went full and first, perhaps, Shadab was playing for the short ball, his feet went nowhere, footwork was non-existent, played all around the ball and is struck bang in front of middle, was going to crash into middle-stump and that's an easy call for umpire Erasmus.

Holder to Sarfaraz, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Appeal for a caught behind and West Indies want a review. It's a fair delivery, was it off the gloves and or of thigh-pad? UltraEdge in and think it has clipped the gloves on its way, Umpire Ravi agrees and Sarfaraz is OUT. Excellent review from West Indies - thought it went off Sarfaraz's thigh-pad, but Pooran was adamant and he was right. Holder's first ball in his new spell was short and angling down leg, Sarfaraz was looking to help it on its way, a fine glance off his gloves and through to the keeper. Pakistan have lost half their side now. Sarfaraz c Shai Hope b Holder 8(12) [4s-1]

A Russell to Fakhar Zaman, out Bowled!! Russell is jubilant, look at him celebrate! He punches the air in delight.

He was onto it late, it hit him on the glove then on the grill of the helmet and came back to hit the stumps. Pakistan in a spot of bother! Fakhar Zaman b A Russell 22(16) [4s-2 6s-1]

Cottrell to Imam, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Well, nerves of the occasion got the better of Imam. He wasn't looking in his elements at all, must have had some butterflies in his stomach. It was short and was down the leg-side, Imam any other day would have pulled it for a boundary. But he was late onto it today, gets a bit of glove and Shai Hope takes a fine catch down the leg-side.

Vikalp Gaur: "Well, it should be a contest for the bowlers as Trent Bridge has become a batting haven. Can either of the teams touch 500 today?"
Harsha Bhogle: Find myself looking forward to #WIvPAK at the #CWC19 more than I was to yesterday's game. Two mercurial teams but whose recent records present a contrast. I still think Pakistan start the more fancied team but not by much.
