Avesh Khan to Aizaz Khan, OUT! TIMBER! Avesh Khan does get a wicket in the end! Avesh bowls this one a touch slower and angles it in on a length from around off. Aizaz Khan has to take it on at this stage and backs away as he looks to slog it away. Aizaz swings wildly though and ends up missing the ball completely. The ball castles into the middle stump and Hong Kong lose their fourth wicket.

Avesh Khan to Aizaz Khan, In the air but falls safely! Here comes the bouncer, over middle and leg, Aizaz Khan looks for the pull but gets hurried on and the top edge is found.

The umpire goes upstairs for a run-out appeal but the batter is safely home.
