Ball by ball

1. 1
   124.6 · Nyamhuri to Rahmat Shah, 1 run

   half-volley angling away outside off, and Rahmat Shah presents the full face of the bat to pierce the cover region. It doesn't quite have the legs to reach the ropes, but Rahmat Shah doesn't need it - he picks up the single he was looking for to retain the strike for Day 4. And with that delivery, it's Stumps on Day 3!

   sprays it too wide outside the off stump channel, Tsiga had to move to his right side and collect the ball from in front of the slip fielder. Wide is signalled by the on-field umpire. The batters are enjoying too, massive smile on both Zia-ur-Rehman and Rahmat Shah's face

14. W
    122.6 · Nyamhuri to Qais Ahmad, OUT

    Nyamhuri is pumped up and he deserves all the credit! Full and overpitched, well outside off, tempting Qais into a false stroke. With zero foot movement, he flashes at an expansive cover drive away from his body, managing only an outside edge. Tsiga takes a brilliant low catch, diving to his right, leaving Rahmat Shah standing utterly baffled, astonished and shell-shocked, fixing a stern glare on Qais from the non-striker's end.

    122.5 · Nyamhuri to Qais Ahmad, FOUR

    poor bowling from Nyamhuri. Back of a length ball slower through the air on the leg stump line, stands tall inside the crease and tickles off the inner part of the bat, trickling away to long leg ropes. Bennett covers his face in disappointment with the left hand.
