3:49 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...

3:44 PM IST Earlier in the game, Pakistan was bundled out for a paltry score of 110 as the visitors couldn't quite get going with the bat. To make matters worse, there were two run-outs in their innings, which pretty much summed up their day with the bat today. Only two Pakistani batters from the top 7 got into double digits as the rest of their specialist batters fell like a pack of cards. Fakhar Zaman did play well for his 44 but got run out in an unlucky fashion. And after that, the only saving grace with the bat for Pakistan was the partnership between Khushdil Shah and Abbas Afridi of 33 runs, which ensured the Pakistani total crossed the 100-run mark. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed got 5 wickets between them as they used their slower deliveries to good effect. The former, in fact, finished with superb figures of 4-0-6-2.
