That's fifty up for Tom Banton. Well deserved half-century for the youngster. Even though he got a lifeline earlier. But he made good use of it. Maiden T20I fifty for the right-handed batsman. He is looking aggressive now.

28 Aug, 23:21 (IST)

Haris Rauf, right-arm fast, into the attack now. Meanwhile, Dawid Malan and Tom Banton are happy rotating the strike. Pakistan used a DRS for a LBW call against Malan, but all in vain.

Shaheen Afridi with the second over. He starts with perfect line and length. He was impressive in Tests and straightaway finds his rhythm in T20Is as well.
