OUT! The back foot is not just outside the crease but also is in the air. England finally break the opening stand! Moeen bowls a beautifully tossed up ball on off, Zaman looks to push it but the ball spins away fantastically after pitching. Fakhar comes forward in his attempt to push. Buttler behind the stumps takes the bails off in a flash. He puts in a very confident appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs.
13.6 overs (0 Run) Good length ball on off, Imam defends it to finish off the over.
13.6 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Good length ball but it is down the leg side, Imam looks to flick but misses. Wide signalled.
13.5 overs (1 Run) Bouncer on the body, Zaman pulls it in a controlled manner to deep mid-wicket for one.
13.4 overs (0 Run) Wrong end! A fuller ball outside off, driven straight to extra-cover by Zaman and he looks for a single but his partner turns his back on him. Morgan picks up the ball and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end but Imam was well in. The other end was where there was no batsman as Fakhar was halfway down the ground. The batsman do not run even as there is a chance to take the overthrow now. Playing it safe!

12.3 overs (0 Run) Bit of turn on offer. It is full on off, Zaman looks to drive but it goes uppishly off the outer half of his bat towards point. Lands well short of the fielder though.
