Mohammad Nabi strikes twice! He removes Ryan Campbell and the dangerous Babar Hayat in the same over. Hong Kong 42 for 2 in 6 overs.
Atkinson looked scratchy out there and failed to get going. It was pushed through by Rashid Khan and the right-hander looked to work it on the on side, failed to connect and the off stump was knocked out. Hong Kong 57 for 3 in nine overs.
