Mohammad Nawaz drops it in at 88.4kph, just a hint of spin there, but Mitchell stays totally composed.
Rocked back on the crease, he waits it out and times a neat little flick into the gap at deep mid-wicket. Nothing flashy, nothing risky, just calm, controlled batting.
They jog through for a single, and that’s exactly the kind of ball you use to settle things down.
Arafat Minhas tosses it up, and boom, that’s disappeared.
Mohammad Rizwan has finally found the middle of the bat, and he’s absolutely launched it. Drifts it outside off, gives it a bit of air, and Rizwan goes down on one knee with a clean slog sweep. No doubt about it, it sails high and long over deep mid-wicket.
That’s a massive six, and you can feel the release in the crowd too. Much needed for the Pindiz, and just his second maximum of the season. He’ll take that deep breath, and move on.
Game on, and what a moment straight away, wicket on the 4th ball.
Oh, that came out of nowhere! Mohammad Imran Randhawa strikes early and Shahzaib Khan is gone for a duck. Full outside off, shaping away just enough to invite the drive, and Khan just can’t resist it. Reaches out, plays away from his body, and there it is, a faint nick straight through to Josh Philippe behind the stumps. Safe as you like.
Philippe pouches it clean, Randhawa is all smiles, and the fielders are right in his ear now. Early breakthrough, early pressure, Shahzaib Khan walks back for 0 off 4, and this game has just been jolted awake.
Yasir Khan, right handed bat, comes to the crease.
