Sundar, on 3, gets a lifeline as he heaves Ajaz over midwicket. He hasn't timed the ball well as it goes high towards midwicket as Devon Conway rushes to his right and gets a hand to the ball but can't hold on.
He slices the next ball but it falls safely to get him a single.
Pant picks up the length early to rock back and pull Ajaz's short ball through midwicket for a four.
He pulls the next ball square on the leg side to bring up his fifty from 48 balls, having hit seven fours and a six.
What a sensational knock under pressure from Pant. He seems to be batting on a completely different pitch and has been finding the boundaries quite reguarly.
While the other batters have fallen trying rash shots, Pant's shot selection has been impeccable.
