Bumrah to bowl the crucial penultimate over. The first ball is back of length as Imad fends it on the off-side for a single before Iftikhar offers no shot to the slower bouncer expecting a wide.
Iftikhar has a big swing across the line but misses for another precious dot ball.
Bumrah bowls a full toss as Iftikhar misses the flick and is struck on the pads for a leg bye.
Imad makes room but can't get it past Rohit in the covers, who makes a diving stop and throws the ball quickly back to Bumrah, who has done exceedingly well to flick the ball back on the stumps.
A narrow escape for Imad as he manages to get his bat inside the crease.
The last ball is again a full toss as Iftikhar miscues it high on the leg side with Arshdeep taking a wonderful catch despite colliding with Suryakumar, who also went for the catch.
Brilliant bowling from Bumrah as he concedes just three runs in the 19th over, while picking up a wicket.
Bumrah finishes with splendid figures of 3/14 in four overs.
Pakistan need 18 from last over.
