00:30That's a lovely drive. What a great way to get off the mark. A very attractive player
00:47to watch when he's in form. Appeal down the leg side and he's gone. Squeeze down the leg
00:57side. Soft dismissal you've got to say and Saima Yu once again looking decent and then
01:03getting out. Slightly upish but well controlled again. Back pearly with the chase. The ball
01:16beats him to the boundary. Nice drive beats him it off. The outfield here you wouldn't say it's
01:26rapid. Firmly hit. Flashes past Shoaib Bashir who stretched his left hand so this is a good
01:40response from Shaan Massoud. Like that you're in control. And that's the dividend that he
01:48takes from coming down in the pitch. Shoaib Bashir has pushed that away nicely into a big gap. That'll be 2 and that'll be 50 for Shaan Massoud in this opening day of his first test match here in Multan.
02:03Sweet shot, really sweet shot.
02:15Over the top and beautifully struck.
02:21Not for much longer. That is a beautiful way to go to an off centre. Super confident, beautifully struck.
02:33Well there we have it. Jet Leach's ball is first over of the day. The bales have been gently tipped off the stumps to signal that's the end of the first session of play.
02:47MUSIC
02:59Nothing wrong with that. That is beautifully played. Well away in front of square. Onto it incredibly quickly.
03:08This time Abdullah Shafiq takes it on. And takes it on quite nicely. Extremely well timed again.
03:19Nicely swept.
03:23Down the pitch and just bolted over Midoff. Midoff is up all the way in and that goes all the way to the boundary.
03:33Lovely back foot pinch. There's only one fielder in front of square and he can't stop it.
03:45Off his hip and the fifth test hundred for Shaan Massoud. His first as test match captain.
03:53And then he came into the series under a bit of pressure.
03:58And Shaan Massoud cuts behind point for four. Very elegant player.
04:07Happy to block it and go in to tee in the 90s. The nervous 90s for him.
04:27MUSIC
04:43Nicely played. That is beautifully played. Straight down the ground. Clears the boundary.
04:50He reached his 50 with a six. He reaches 100 with a six. And that is his fifth hundred in test matches.
04:57His second against England and reached in awesome style.
05:05It's a pull shot. It's another single. It's a 150 for Shaan Massoud. His second 150 plus score.
05:13Guy was struggling big time with the technical issues and his leadership was all over the place.
05:20This is such a good beginning against a fine England side.
05:27And gone. A little bit casual but wicked has come England's way. They have to toil extremely hard.
05:36This Abdullah Shafiq has probably been just a little bit off.
05:42Maybe concentration was a little off. He was tiring a little. And he's gone.
05:52Gone. Cut and ball. As they say you should avoid driving a spinner straight back at him.
05:58And so it was an easy catch in the end. And Shaan Massoud once again launching it worse on the cards.
06:04Unfortunately because it's cramping up and not there completely.
06:11There's the sweep shot and that's gone through those two fielders once again. That's good batting.
06:19Another one nicely weighted on it.
06:26Down to third to defence.
06:30Gone.
06:32Not set for that one and that's been his problem today. He's just lacked a little bit of consistency.
06:42Unares left to right hand. The same result.
06:46Very very similar in terms of the two sets played.
06:51A little bit of wick this time there. That's very nice to put away. Timing is good.
07:02How straight is that? Is it straight enough?
07:06Kumaram Sena says yes.
07:20Thanks for watching.
