00:00Afridi can be a mood lifter. Can he lift his side out of this tight corner. 47 from 18 balls,
00:09it's a gigantic task. Brooks is in. None for 11. Very good economy. Economy 5.5 knot.
00:17That's a hit. That is some shot for you. That's gone flat. It's a skimmer from Afridi.
00:27It's a 6 over covers. Showcasing his power and talent with the bat. And the crowd are absolutely loving it.
00:37He's too late. Where has he been? Lights up this boundary board.
00:51He's becoming watchable now. Afridi 11 from 3. 4 and a 6.
00:56That was the Stamps. Goes big down the lake side. He's called his partner for two.
01:03His partner says no. Afridi is back in. Doesn't like the call of Safras, but...
01:10Got to just calm down a little, Afridi. I think his partner's got to suggest to him that all is not lost.
01:18Single will do the job. Let me handle the situation. Let's share this burden.
01:22Nice early call, by the way, from Safras.
01:25Nice early call, by the way, from Safras.
01:31This has to be a 15 run over.
01:3315 run over.
01:45Works it into the gap. Afridi doesn't want the second.
01:48His partner wanted the second one. Afridi was not even looking at him.
01:52Leave it to the captain, Afridi. He's in the house.
01:59The crowd all have a view.
02:01Who did they want to see on strike?
02:03Safras is a fine player.
02:05But it's Afridi.
02:07The influence of Afridi. He's had four deliveries. He's got 12 runs.
02:11The tempo is starting to build up.
02:28Afridi on 12 from just four.
02:30Go as the stumps. Flicks it.
02:33Gets it on the fourth.
02:35It's another smash. Afridi is rocking.
02:39Magnificent striking from him.
02:42Oh, boom, boom. Where have you been?
02:45England needing to get to work.
02:50Buckley the captain.
02:51Slightly difficult maybe in T20 when you're captain from a distance.
02:56I want to have a chat with you, Bowler.
03:03Well, he's operating at a strike rate of 360.
03:06Shahid Afridi, 18 from five.
03:0914 runs from the over.
03:11Two more balls left.
03:12This could be a big over for Pakistan.
03:15Could get bigger.
03:17It's a smash.
03:18Will this be taken?
03:19It's taken in.
03:20And it's a six.
03:22Over point.
03:23Awesome stuff.
03:25Awesome stuff from Afridi.
03:27Absolutely stunning.
03:28Brilliant over this for Pakistan.
03:31Afridi.
03:32Six deliveries.
03:34Strike rate, 400.
03:36Oh, and a free hit.
03:38It gets worse for England.
03:40There are 20 from this over.
03:42Pakistan need 20.
03:45They need 33 from 14 deliveries.
03:48What a shot that was.
03:49It was a difficult bottle to really handle over point.
03:58And he absolutely smashed it.
04:01Afridi has been offered a freebie.
04:04Freebie to Afridi.
04:06And a chat.
04:07Butler has to go all the way down to have a word with Chris Waltz.
04:13You've got to hatch your plan.
04:15You've got to get Afridi off strike.
04:17Free hit has been posted on the big screen.
04:25And the guys know that he can't get out on this.
04:32Well, he shouldn't.
04:34But we've all seen it many, many times.
04:38If he gets going, you can't stop him.
04:41He's like a runaway train.
04:43Strike rate of exactly 400 now for Shahid Afridi.
04:4824 from just six.
04:55He's going to go for it, Afridi.
04:58Oh, he misses the ball.
05:00He's trying to hit it just a little too hard.
05:02And fabulously done by the bowler here.
05:04Walks was under a lot of stress and pressure.
05:07He bowls it fast and he bowls it wider.
05:10And into the pitch.
05:12He's tried his Yorkers.
05:14They've not worked.
05:17Couple of full tosses as well.
05:18So he's gone back to default.
05:20Hit the pitch.
05:22Field changes again.
05:24Third man comes inside the circle.
05:26Deep backwards square goes out.
05:28One delivery.
05:29Ends the 18th forward.
05:3126 required from 13 deliveries.
05:34Just a ball to come in the silver half.
05:37Afridi must not get out now.
05:39Take a run.
05:40Get to the other end.
05:41The ball's a wide run.
05:42It is a wide ball.
05:43Trying to stay away from his range.
05:44Shahid Afridi can have that kind of an impact on the opponent.
05:59So it's another ball to come.
06:0222 runs already.
06:04Looted by Pakistan in the silver.
06:07And he's got it England.
06:09Good call from the umpire.
06:11Just outside that line.
06:13That's a slice.
06:14And it's a catch.
06:15And Afridi has been dismissed.
06:29So the drama is over.
06:30And well what a strike from England just at the right time.
06:37He was steaming forward and threatening to win the game on his own.
06:43And this is a slice.
06:44Beautifully held.
06:45A pressure catch.
06:46And it's taken.
06:47Leon Plunkett the catcher.
06:49And that is a golden wicket.
06:51See what it means to Oi Morgan.
06:54He's just turned this game Afridi.
06:58Pakistan of a sniff.
07:0124.
07:021.48 for seven.
