Junaid hits the hard length, and gets the ball to nip away off the deck, on middle. Sahibzada Farhan lifts his front leg up in the air and shapes to whip that over deep square leg, but only manages to get a thick top edge and the ball carries straight down the throat of Muhammad Zohaib stationed in the deep.
