Saurabh Netravalkar returns to the attack but starts with an overstep -- no-ball. He follows it up with a pinpoint yorker that Nawaz can only dig out. Nawaz then nudges one to deep cover for a single. A loud LBW appeal follows and the USA go upstairs. UltraEdge shows a spike, so the on-field not-out call stands. Nawaz looks to swing big but settles for another single. Shadab Khan injects momentum, smashing a huge six and then picking up a couple more. Twelve runs come off the over. After 17 overs, Pakistan are 157/4.
Ehsan Adil comes back, but Shadab takes charge. Nawaz squeezes out a single before Shadab drills a boundary and follows it up with another. A couple more runs and a single cap off an expensive over. Sixteen runs added as Pakistan surge to 173/4 after 18.
Shadley van Schalkwyk returns and strikes. Shadab smashes a boundary but then skies the next one straight up -- the keeper Andries Gous settles under it. OUT! Van Schalkwyk has his third. Shadab goes for a quickfire 30 off 12 balls.
Faheem Ashraf walks in and gets off the mark with a single, as does Nawaz. But Faheem's stay is short-lived -- he's caught by Netravalkar after reaching forward for a sharp chance.
Two wickets in the over. Just six runs from it. After 19 overs, Pakistan are 179/6.
