At tea Pakistan A were 214 for 6 as Rhodes had Azam caught behind on his fifth ball.

After tea the bowling was done by Gibson and Rhodes until the new ball was taken This enable Mohammad Hasan and Hasan Ali to put on 90 runs.When the new ball was taken Ali was caught with a juggling catch by Rhodes of Shaw.However no further wickets fell and Pakistan A are now 95 runs ahead.
