00:00nice punch down the ground there it is we knew it up here or if not you're just going to get

00:14punished over deep mid wickets not a big boundary 72 meters that it's another in swinger and he

00:21just manages to get enough of it over just ball that limb this is too full and he knew it was

00:27going to come in and mid wicket is where he goes he's just sweating on the ball being just short

00:35enough really trouble miles with especially with that got the front leg out of the way and that is

00:47a beauty in form but I'm dealt it beautifully what a shot followed in there and Myers just manages to

00:58squeak it down to fine leg bat on ball fine leg up in the circle yeah easy boundary at the end

01:05gives himself a bit of room that area is vacant and he will pick up back-to-back boundaries maybe it's

01:14time time for a bra or maybe time for the scene junior because he's got gas big swing for humanity

01:32oh he's got that up and over that's well played got inside the line and use the pace beautifully that's

01:40a beautiful shot have another go and that's gone for six as well but then obviously square fine is up

01:50he's trying to get on top of the bounce he's picked that one up he's dropping shorter bra is dispatching

02:02every ordinary delivery baller yeah he's clean him up to a baller he already for him I show with the ball

02:15this is really good really good what happened with the last over ball by Vaseem the ball was dipping and

02:26he was doing something in the air and that's why he looked to pitch the ball up to the batsman

02:32that's gone is it that is gone we're witnessing reverse swing look at the ball going stay too much inside

02:45the line of the line of that delivery up in the air now this will be the third it is the third and they came in

02:55quick succession and second one in the first over of Vaheem Ashraf he's on fire

03:01that's nice that is very nice and he's been batting up the order

03:14it's a really good drive in control always looking to play the ball on the up

03:21oh yes skipper celebrates the last time he bowled against Karachi he removed rinse

03:30and that was influential and now Sabza the Farhan another big wicket

03:38gone short got all of it just about gets all of it flies it all the way for a six

03:46front shoulder he's gone back shoulder allows him to free his arms

03:49almost hit that off the front foot and he hits it all the way

03:51bold fold and straight rolls his fingers crossed that one may have skipped through a little bit low

04:02so i'm a bad now five down just three runs then and a wicket in this over

04:11powers and taken what's a catch for himself

04:15south sakil sort of shot choice and wicket here but isn't that a good catch from soldier kill he's

04:22hit that pretty hard moved well to his right for him isn't he happy with that

04:28for the right reasons that might be for the right reasons that is some crack

04:36once it hit the middle of the bat sailed away for six

04:40he's playing a good little knock he's on 23 of 22 he's given himself a chance he hit a six earlier also

04:51it's not decided yet that's decided that's decided for six a true half volley

05:03just saw the length and swung his bat the ball's gone soft it's not doing much off the scene

05:09so you have to be smarter as a baller use those variations

05:14in the air is it uh is he clearing the boundary is he clearing the boundary yes he has

05:24what a hit he is playing a gem of an inning

05:28animated chat i think he knows what he's doing heather you don't have to worry

05:33you don't have to worry about mahmandawaz he's handling this quite well

05:40with the ball oh how's that for a hit

05:44probably the longest of the night bringing the wrist into play no holding back

05:52donating for humanity they'll

05:57yeah he's got another one they've got another one you put riley under any catch

06:03he's bagging all of them here the rally won six well and that was the end he's disappointed

06:11yeah good little partnership and uh he was kind of a quieter partner in this partnership trying to go

06:18over mid on riley russo coming down taking it uh building in in that dugout in slumber's dugout

06:25well that helped their confidence you seem junior the balls those yorkers really well

06:32and he got it wrong this time it wasn't right up there it was just a little bit room for jason holder to get under it

06:41he might be going again to the left over so oh wow that is rocketed off the bat of chase and holder

06:52riley russo who's a very good fielder had literally maybe seven or eight meters on his left to cover

07:00no chance

07:03it doesn't matter where you put them it doesn't matter because the way mohman nawas is striking

07:09the ball it is brilliant to watch 82 meters didn't have to do much jemison just provided the ball where he

07:18wanted oh brilliant this is really smart really effective from mohman nawas in the zone this was

07:28outside the off stump

07:35that's taken now mohman nawas may i might have just given them enough

07:39how good was that grab oh he had to really stretch high to grab that after a while

07:51great finish very very good finish and a run out good over from jemison only 11 and and i'm sure

08:01nasim shaw was short on that and uh for their team to fight this game

08:10yeah there's no harm in trying but the keeper has done well to knock the stumps and the bails over

08:17third man or deep backward point and deep backward square the two field is outside the circle

08:26thumped absolutely thumped over mid-wicket he's seen the ball beautifully in this tournament so far

08:33he swings that away with ultimate ease and that's going to find the boundary as well

08:42mid-wicket was square you're losing his line here again nasim shaw looking for swing

08:47it just goes in with the good balance just goes with it set off the

08:54well that's out of the middle of the bat and now to the ground

08:57too short from samana shaw and easy pickings for finnellen

09:03just extends his arms through that mohammed amir extremely happy with that with that shot

09:07now sailing into the night sky

09:14soldier kill goes over short fine leg and already they are ahead of the game

09:22helps it over short fine leg almost goes all the way for for a maximum but just the one bounce

09:27got him this time shahzad at backward point makes no mistake irshad gave himself a little bit of room

09:38maybe a little bit too much and didn't have a solid base and that's a really smart catch at backward point

09:45but he might not be at the other end he's gone he's got him

09:50it's very low on the bat jason holder possibly the only man on the field

09:54numbers long enough to get that it's taken a really really smart catch

10:00oh there's nobody there no one's gonna stop that just too short not quick enough

10:12not off the length it's quite an easy pitch it's a good pitch to bat on putting away the bad balls

10:19you don't have to be adventurous riley russo has to leave it to hassan too short even

10:27he's just made himself a little bit of room he knew what uh was coming at him

10:32balling into the pitch and if you come around the stumps you become predictable

10:40clever clever from initially he was looking to give himself room

10:46by packing away from the licks tongue this time around stayed still and that line and angle

10:56nice shot that is such a class shot to finish off the pepsi power play so this means enjoying it

11:04here we go here we go he plays that short so well

11:09he dragged it just a tad short and that was more than enough and then

11:15he just worked the angle quite nicely yeah just got greedy didn't he it's a poor delivery really

11:22and gets past that short fine leg

11:25now then now that a chance throw it at the wrong end can he hit it he does brilliant

11:36the opportunity to send roussel back into the into the pavilion

11:41jason holder right behind the stumps even if he

11:52oh that's got air time plenty of vertical miles on this

11:56easy simple for header ali

12:00just holding that one up a little bit hit low on the bat and all he can do is hit it

12:05just straight up in the air basically and that's just a simple catch in the outfield

12:09hardly a difference between the collection

12:12oh great shot great shot in great control ends the over with the boundary a much needed one

12:20nothing shot dropping short there probably a little bit

12:22wider than what he would wanted but nonetheless that's a fantastic shot just using all as it

12:27he's got protection down the ground there he goes there he goes the dancing shoes better of the bowler

12:34perfectly timed all the way these boundaries are nowhere near big enough for him when he hits them

12:43lovely strike there much needed boundary

12:45brilliant they go all go off they all go off because there is a tick and rashid ryan says

12:55keep rolling roll back roll back and go forward and your feet there spikes my ball next to the bat

13:02i'm satisfied there's a bat involved go to and front by rashid there with the renal out of the

13:06you stand by you know the team make a great initial decision confirmed on

13:17what a shot in amongst all the drama

13:23slightly over pitch from jason holder and look at that not over hitting that just playing through the

13:28line and then straight into the ground and that just races away for a boundary

13:32i amf ush ruffers off and running here

13:41that is absolutely outstanding from the big man

13:45is that your game-changing moment right there

13:50keep rolling keep rolling more in the
