Saad Nasim should stay with Sohaib, rather than trying to be a typical Pakistani Batsmen by trying to hit for sixes and fours without rotating the strike to the inform batsman.....

Sohaib Maqsood tried to launch, gets the outside edge, third man fielder was in the ring so it goes over the top of the fielder and it's a four, Sohaib on 80*
