Bumrah then gifts him a full toss as Zaman drives it through the covers for a four.
The fast bowler then comes back with a superb delivery, some extra bounce and away movement as Zaman pokes and is beaten.
Zaman offers no shot to the fifth ball and defends the last ball.
Bhuvneshwar bowls a wide down the leg side before he beats Imam, who throws his bat at a wide delivery which moves away enough to go past the edge.
Bhuvneshwar strays on the pads and Imam plays a nice flick through midwicket for a four.
The next ball is again down the leg stump as Imam pulls it to fine leg for one to keep strike.
Pakistan's openers not looking in any sort of rush, trying to play out the new ball and lay a solid foundation.
Bumrah starts his second with three dot balls to Imam, sticking to a good line on the stumps before the left-hander takes a single on the off-side.
Bumrah then cuts Zaman in half with a full delivery leaving him as the left-hander tries to hit it across the line but fails to connect.
He offers no shot to the next ball as Bumrah ends a good over, conceding just a single.
