00:00it does now sliced away and sliced away for four challenging the pads and the

00:23stumps thick inside edge bring Curran a couple well that's hit powerfully right

00:42out the middle of the bat there was width on offer and Williams has climbed into

00:46that pulled away now leg side powerfully again so back-to-back boundaries from

00:54Williams both emphatic

00:56lovely shot we've mentioned in Alistair Campbell mentioned how the bat a couple

01:14of times has come across the ball that was ramrod straight

01:22flipped away but not with any great authority and dribble out to Sam cook for

01:28a single that's lovely that's more out of the middle of the bat than the drive off

01:36Ben Stokes it probably won't go for for perhaps the outfield slowing up after the

01:42overnight rain but Peter Carlstein well that's lovely has been hit with

01:49authority again from Williams when he goes after it he goes after it it's thundered

01:54down the ground

01:54a bit straight Stokes his cross with himself

02:02well taken well judged single ends the 17th 61 for two I think he's looked at the angle this

02:15nicely played considering the ball before that had moved away he backed himself

02:23slightly on the up and let the print bridge outfield do the rest

02:27beautiful drive on the up he's played a variety of shots a cut to pull a couple of drives he looks in good touch

02:48it's a lovely way to go to your sixth test 50 to go with his 500s he's been around a long time

03:00have to wait a long time to play here in England

03:03he wants to double that up at least high class 50

03:09one off the front foot one off the back foot any ball that's been slightly out

03:18Williams has put it away and put it away with style

03:21nearly dragged on

03:26lovely

03:37didn't try and over hit that at all there are some that he's absolutely blasted for four

03:43played much straighter then Karen we showed that change in alignment

03:51well mentioned uh

04:00the whip that is enjoyed today England around the wicket so that angle is is coming into him

04:06but he tends a little bit like Brian Bennett actually yesterday

04:08just passed

04:13Josh Tong stretched out that left hand but

04:17didn't uh didn't uh didn't get a fingertip to it but he he bowled pretty well

04:23Williams likes to sweep is a

04:30very very competent sweeper and reverse sweeper of the ball

04:35Williams we've now added 102

04:38make that 106

04:41he goes to the leg side this time it was a bit of a top edge and it's plugged out in the deep

04:55up it goes and away it goes

05:02Sean Williams is not hanging back here he's going to take the attack to show it Bashir and

05:08he moves into the 80s

05:15the arm ball might have just gone a little bit too much has given him

05:18well well well

05:24what is your decision out

05:26pitching in line

05:28impact in line

05:30you might change your original decision stand by

05:37later on in the summer

05:39I had just got outside the line he's given him again

05:45this time it's Williams who receives the dreaded up raised finger

05:52that one has got a better chance

05:56yeah fair enough

05:58but you and I had it out in real time I think fair enough

06:01just showing its clipping top of leg stump

06:04original decision out

06:06pitching in line

06:07impact in line

06:08wickets umpires fall

06:10the original out decision stand by

06:12well well well

06:19shot

06:22that's emphatic from Raza

06:29that field a little slower after the overnight rain

06:33should scamper back to three

06:40that's a terrific shot

06:46hitting into the spin

06:50Sam Cook cleans up on the cover boundary

06:54nicely bowled

07:01excellent line

07:03good attacking stuff from Shahid Bashir

07:09oh now gone

07:11Bashir

07:12straight after lunch

07:14and Karen has chipped it to Stokes on the drive

07:17England needed a wicket they've got one

07:19soft really soft

07:22he'll be livid with himself Ben Curran

07:25tossed up by Bashir

07:26probably just a hint of turn

07:28allowing it to catch the outside half of the bat

07:31and could only spoon

07:34down the pitch mid on is up

07:38and he's belted it over the top

07:42now has it gone all the way

07:48short pulled

07:49maybe a bit of glove

07:50maybe just caught up with it

07:53go away for a boundary

07:54and bring up the 150 for Zimbabwe

08:00nice

08:01toe end of the bat

08:02showing shouldn't go away for a boundary

08:08maybe that's because the previous ball he charged

08:16and Cook wasn't having any of it

08:17but is he quick enough

08:19with the bouncer

08:20not on that occasion

08:21forty overs done

08:22one sixty three for four

08:33swept

08:34fine

08:38big

08:39big

08:40slog sweep

08:41long on

08:42tries to get round there

08:43he can't

08:44it doesn't go all the way

08:45but real intent

08:46from Sikandar Aza

08:51now

08:52sneaking down

08:54he went a long way across

08:55but it came a long way back in

09:01he's gonna go upstairs here I reckon

09:03he's coming up

09:06he's coming up

09:08original decision not out

09:10yeah almost

09:11just did too much

09:12that was massive

09:13nit backer

09:17look to approach

09:18show Bashir

09:21aggression it is

09:23almost misplaced

09:26aggression

09:27somehow

09:31Raza gets four

09:32excellent probing over

09:34from Bashir

09:35one seven seven for four

09:40Raza

09:43chips down

09:44and

09:45Dong Sam

09:46Cook back over his head

09:47couple of ounces

09:48for four

09:49and

09:50one back there

09:53not enough sting in that short ball

09:56from

09:57Cook

10:00width

10:02and that's exactly what you want

10:04on this plum surface

10:06just the opportunity to free the arms a little bit

10:09get it square of the wicket

10:10oh that's sensational

10:15absolutely sensational

10:17Ben Stokes can barely believe it

10:19and he's pulled off one or two of those in his time as well

10:21but that is amazing

10:23from Harry Brook

10:24Matthew Hayden all rolled into one

10:26watch this

10:27this

10:28is

10:29sensational

10:30you cannot do that Harry Brook

10:42I believe a man once said

10:51magnificent

10:56it's good an extra cover drive off the off spinner as you will see

10:59from Sikanda Raza

11:03oh

11:04bowled him

11:07Joe Bashir

11:08doesn't

11:09actually doesn't believe it I don't think

11:10I think

11:11he thought he'd missed this

11:12missed the stumps

11:13and running away for four

11:14but

11:15caught leg stump

11:16bit of confusion out there

11:17but I'm sure that's it leg stump

11:19the stumps on the way through

11:21just drags it back

11:22keeps the revs on the ball

11:24hit the stumps

11:26bale's removed

11:27the keeper is behind

11:28the reaction of Shah Bashir was

11:29quite amusing

11:30thought he'd

11:40missed an opportunity of a stumping but that's confirmation it is out

11:44he's got the ball through the covers

11:51looked like he was expecting a short pitch ball but Stokes went full

11:55and that brings up his 50

12:00well played 50 off just 57 balls

12:03ooh

12:07big shot

12:08could be out

12:09and is out

12:10simple catch to Joe Root

12:12that deep mid wicket

12:14Muzurabani going for the big shot

12:20probably aiming a bit straight up

12:22ended up dragging it to deep mid wicket

12:24things might happen quite quickly for England here

12:31well especially his fourth

12:33there's a regulation

12:34for the last four to try and stop one

12:36big sweep and there's a big gap out there

12:43the fielders have come in to try and keep

12:50felt aerial

12:51it's going to go to the boundary

12:53Ben Ducky that gully was interested for a moment

12:56Ben Stokes shakes his head

12:58he knows he's given some width

13:02catch

13:03no in the gap

13:04in the gap again

13:07Ben Stokes

13:08Ben Stokes looks unimpressed with that

13:13going to play some shots

13:14is Sikanda Raza

13:16an enterprising cricketer

13:23and a rather more straight forward catch

13:28this time for Harry Brook

13:30and a splendid moment

13:32for young Shoei Bashir

13:34coach applauds him

13:35Pfeiffer against the West Indies

13:37second time round

13:38and Pfeiffer

13:40against Zimbabwe

13:41Zimbabwe

13:51beats Crawley

13:52to his left

13:53it wasn't far away from Crawley

14:04Stokes has not put Crawley back on the bound

14:07oh

14:10must be out

14:11must be out

14:31absolutely salmon trout

14:33as the great Shane Warne

14:35would have said

14:38rather enjoyed

14:39the bowling of Shoei Bashir

14:41in this game

14:44he finishes with the figures of

14:46six for 81
