Shami bowled four wides in the over and also faced a discomfort in the Dubai heat before heading back to the dugout after the over for a change of shoes. Returning to bowl his third over, Shami was seen grimacing and clutching his ankle/calf area with the physio running out to have a look. Conceding only three runs in the over, Shami immediately walked off the field into the dressing room at the end of five overs with Pakan moving up to 25 for no loss.
