35.4 to NJ O'Brien, overpitched and wide outside off, Niall stretches out and drives to the left of Shenwari at short extra cover. Niall plays an aerial drive instead of keeping it down. Dawlat returns and takes down Niall. Both set batsmen are gone now. 130/4
49.2 to GC Wilson, good catch. Slower ball dug in short again, wide outside off. Looks to slap it over extra, gets it off the thick outside edge. It hangs high and makes point pedal backwards. He loses his balance but manages to get his hands around this. 202/7

15.2 to WTS Porterfield, soft. Loopy length ball on leg stump, dipping rapidly and he's not to the pitch as he looks for a vigourous flick through square leg. Gets it off the inside half and it lobs in front of midwicket who gets down and forward to snap it up. 53/1

23.5 to A Balbirnie, edged and gone! Slider wide outside off, Balbirnie stays leg side of this and is forced to reach out for a cut. It's a weak attempt too. He's pushing too far away from the body and the outside edge is eaten up by the keeper. 77/2
40.6 to Simi Singh, taken down leg side. Simi Singh's painful stay comes to an end as he shuffles outside off once more and is too far away from this googly as it spins down leg. He's forced to reach out and can only get a slight touch on this. 149/5
48.1 to KJ O'Brien, bowled him! Wicket number 99 for Rashid Khan. Comprehensively tonks off stump with a slider. O'Brien exposes the stumps and swats across the line to try and clear the leg side. Completely misses it. 196/6

44.5 to Samiullah Shinwari, McCarthy finds redemption. A very tense finish brewing in Harare. A World Cup spot is on the line. This was overpitched and outside off, instead of scything it over the boundary Shenwari slices it to backward point. Good, low catch under pressure from Wilson. 181/5

28.6 to Gulbadin Naib, top edge taken at point! Gulbadin has fallen just on the verge of what might have been Rankin's last ball of this spell. It's a short ball in the corridor and he looks to pull without shifting his weight backwards. Ends up wafting from underneath and it's a simple catch. 117/3

16.3 to Mohammad Shahzad, Shahzad goes for one big hit too many and holes out to long-on. Skids on outside off, Simi Singh finds some extra bounce and forces the opener to fetch the slog-sweep from there. The batsman aimed to launch it over midwicket. He instead splices it straighter to Rankin. A little opening for Ireland?. 86/1
25.4 to Rahmat Shah, chipped to short midwicket! Shah steps out and doesn't get to the pitch of the ball. He clips on the up and as a result he can't keep this down. It's straight to the fielder who takes a low catch. 113/2
37.3 to Mohammad Nabi, Simi Singh claims his third wicket and tightens the chase. This was fired in on middle, Simi pulled his length back after seeing Nabi foray down the track. He does not meet the pitch of the ball and winds up dragging a catch to deep midwicket. 145/4
