Visiting captain Yasir Gul called correctly and, on a baking hot afternoon had no hesitation in batting first. Simoes made 23 and Tanvir Hussain 27, but the wickets came in clusters, with 88-2 quickly becoming 97-4. Forty-three runs were added in six overs as the classy Prasham Ghandi (49no) and Tahir Kazmi (27) punished anything loose. However, another clutch of wickets fell as Hurley finished for 214 all out in 38 overs. Veteran slow left arm spinner Phil Ridgeway, playing his 50th consecutive season for Hurley, regained control with a miserly 12 overs for 23 runs.
