00:00:00...international umpire, that would be Bob Coper, the former Australian player, member of the Australian International Board.
00:00:07An inspection, because this rain actually has come from not the prevailing area, southwest, and from the Worcestershire way, and the west is usually the area.
00:00:17But this has come from the southeast, and it's built up, and once it comes from that area, then you generally get it for fairly lengthy spells.
00:00:24That huge cover really has made play possible here over the years. Saved hours of play, hasn't it, Dr Ray?
00:00:35Yes.
00:00:35At the address now comes the announcement, which we anticipated, that there will be no play possible today. It's been officially abandoned.
00:00:42That's the sad tale from Edgbison. No more we can tell you, but all we will hope is that there will be a play tomorrow.
00:00:48But for the moment, we'll say goodbye.
00:00:50That's, uh, that there will be no play possible today. It's been officially abandoned.
00:01:00That's the sad tale from Edgbison. No more we can tell you, but all we will hope is that there will be a play tomorrow.
00:01:06But for the moment, we'll say goodbye.
00:01:08That's, uh, not to say he didn't desperately want to play, but there will be other times for him.
00:01:18There's plenty of atmosphere to savour in this his first experience of being in a test squad.
00:01:23First ball coming up, Philip De Freitas.
00:01:25First ball coming up, Philip De Freitas, and runs straight away for Parker Stahl.
00:01:32I can guarantee you, it will be very much a loosener this first over for Philip De Freitas.
00:01:44Single and double sweaters out there.
00:01:46The bowler himself rolling in a sleeveless at the moment.
00:01:50Left-hander who scored runs from the first ball, Amir Sohail.
00:02:05Ramiz Raja is about to take strike.
00:02:07Amir Sohail is in the light-coloured protective helmet.
00:02:14Ramiz Raja in the green.
00:02:20And the light, uh, isn't too good out there, I can tell you, apart from being cold.
00:02:37So cold that they're wearing sweaters.
00:02:41And, uh, those lights there for the public are showing.
00:02:44For the batsman will go off.
00:02:46It is, I'm afraid it is quite murky.
00:02:49The third day's play of the first Cornhill tournament.
00:02:52It began on the third morning.
00:02:54Pakistan, three for no wicket, with Amir Sohail having made three from the one ball he faced.
00:02:58Ramiz Raja is his companion.
00:03:01And an extremely strong batting line-up all the way through there.
00:03:05We join...
00:03:06And the light, uh, isn't too good out there, I can tell you.
00:03:15Apart from being cold, so cold that they're wearing sweaters.
00:03:20And, uh, those lights there for the public are showing.
00:03:23For the batsman will go off.
00:03:25It is, I'm afraid it is quite murky.
00:03:28The third day's play of the first Cornhill Test match at Edgbaston between England and Pakistan.
00:03:34The first two days, absolute disaster.
00:03:36The first day washed out.
00:03:37The second day, just two balls possible.
00:03:40A reminder, then, of the two teams nominated by the skippers at the toss, which was won by England and Pakistan to bat.
00:03:47That's the way it looked with Ian Salisbury and Tim Munton out of the nominated squad for England.
00:03:53Ram Prakash took the last place.
00:03:55Pakistan, a very strong line-up there.
00:03:57But they are without Wazimakram, although they do have Wakai Yunus in the side.
00:04:02And, uh, that will be a bonus as far as they're concerned.
00:04:05As play began on the third morning, Pakistan, three for no wicket, with Amir Sohail having made three from the one ball he faced.
00:04:12Ramis Raja is his companion.
00:04:15And an extremely strong batting line-up all the way through there.
00:04:19We join play now with 14 runs added to the Pakistan overnight score.
00:04:23It's 17 for no wicket.
00:04:24This is the third ball of the fifth over, and it is being played in brilliant sunshine.
00:04:30An absolute contrast to the first two days.
00:04:34Amir Sohail is about to take full advantage of those conditions.
00:04:37Philip De Freitas is bowling to him.
00:04:43Well, that could have been anywhere.
00:04:45Instead of which, four runs.
00:04:49First boundary of the innings.
00:04:54Kind shot.
00:05:04That's good running.
00:05:10They've picked up at least three or four extra runs this morning.
00:05:13Is that shot at Rameses again?
00:05:20Slow outfield or not, that's four.
00:05:28Real power comes from real timing.
00:05:31And this was a prime example of both.
00:05:34It's again, it's use of the wrists.
00:05:36The ball right on and then just turning the wrists.
00:05:38You can see them really turning in there.
00:05:48Philip De Freitas has dropped one in short.
00:05:50Amir Sohail didn't do very much wrong, except the ball may have hurried on to him a little.
00:05:55Came off either very high on the bat, or there may have been a little bit of glove with it as well.
00:06:02And the catch is taken.
00:06:04The first one down.
00:06:07Nothing to do with deviation there.
00:06:09It was just Philip De Freitas bending his back, putting a little bit extra in.
00:06:13And Alex Stewart was the man, alongside the umpire, to give De Freitas his first wicket.
00:06:25Timely one.
00:06:262.33 for one, with Rameses Rajah looking in terrific form for his 14.
00:06:31Amir Sohail did nothing wrong until that last delivery.
00:06:35Asif Mushtaba is the man coming in at three, and Asif Iqbal has joined us in the commentary box.
00:06:53Mushtaba is off the mark.
00:06:56Strike for a man in good form.
00:06:58Outfield is slow.
00:06:59They did manage to run four in the end, but I think at one stage, Rameses was settling down for three.
00:07:24Good shot.
00:07:29And that's the reply from Asif Mushtaba.
00:07:32Mishraja now to Asif Mushtaba.
00:07:46Beautiful stroke.
00:07:47Lovely sunny morning.
00:08:01And what a relief for everyone that the sun came out to play today.
00:08:05Always difficult for a captain to know when you want to get a third man down there.
00:08:19I think it's very disheartening for a bowler to see the ball fly off the edge.
00:08:24This is Botham.
00:08:27Terrific shot.
00:08:28We really cannot bowl anything around leg stump to Rameses.
00:08:41Well, an indication of the pitch and the bowling of Botham.
00:08:47The pace, hostility.
00:08:49He's gone round the wicket.
00:08:50Jack Russell standing up.
00:08:51Different angle to push the ball back into the left-hander.
00:09:03But if you pitch it short, that's what happens.
00:09:06And that brings up the 50 partnership.
00:09:10Came off 99 deliveries.
00:09:17And Botham trying to bung it in a little bit short.
00:09:20But certainly that was taken full advantage of.
00:09:28Nobody can stop that.
00:09:33Very short straight boundary at the pavilion end of Edgerton.
00:09:37Some 10 or 15 yards shorter than the other end.
00:09:41Well, a fine shot again.
00:09:43Didn't try to thrash it.
00:09:44Just nicely controlled and followed through.
00:09:46And I've said before, it's a good pitch for playing shots on when the ball's pitched up or whether it's short.
00:09:53Philip De Freitas bowling the first over after lunch on this third day.
00:10:00He's done it again.
00:10:01Two for De Freitas.
00:10:03Umpire Barry Mayer signals the batsman out.
00:10:06Rather an airy-fairy drive there.
00:10:08So, soon after the interval,
00:10:10Asif Mushtaba goes.
00:10:13Two wickets now
00:10:14to Philip De Freitas.
00:10:17Disappointment for
00:10:18Asif Mushtaba.
00:10:21Didn't really get anywhere near it
00:10:23with his front foot
00:10:24and it just went away far enough
00:10:25to find the outside edge.
00:10:27Jack Russell
00:10:28taking the catch.
00:10:29Derek Pringle is the bowler
00:10:33to
00:10:33Javid Miendad.
00:10:40And Javid Miendad
00:10:41at number five
00:10:42out of
00:10:42those ten players.
00:10:44Only one
00:10:44batsman,
00:10:45the great
00:10:46Sir Garfield Sobus,
00:10:47has a better average
00:10:48than Javid Miendad.
00:10:5057
00:10:51to
00:10:5154.
00:10:58It was a good effort.
00:10:59That's the first ball
00:11:02we've seen
00:11:03move appreciably
00:11:05and it took the batsman
00:11:05by surprise.
00:11:23Garfield is very strong
00:11:24in his pads.
00:11:24He is a fierce
00:11:25square cutter,
00:11:26Ramis Rocha.
00:11:29beautifully done.
00:11:42That's
00:11:43why
00:11:44Jack Russell
00:11:45is up
00:11:45over the stubs.
00:11:46I've seen him
00:11:46make brilliant
00:11:47stumpings
00:11:48from bowlers
00:11:49of
00:11:49Dirk Pringle's place
00:11:51and this
00:11:52is brilliant.
00:11:55Lovely take
00:11:56and perfectly balanced.
00:11:58That's the big thing.
00:12:03That's a beautiful stroke.
00:12:05Been no better shot
00:12:06played in this
00:12:07Pakistan innings
00:12:08than that
00:12:09lovely stroke

00:12:38on a
00:12:39placid pitch
00:12:40and has now

00:13:04Great shot
00:13:05there from
00:13:05Javid.
00:13:10short and
00:13:15wide enough
00:13:16to give
00:13:16Javid
00:13:17plenty of

00:13:26That's a run

00:24:22The Fourth Age
00:24:52The First Test Match, The First Corn Hill Test Match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston.
00:24:57Welcome to the highlights and welcome also to Mnet Supersport in South Africa.
00:25:02It's been a rain-mired match, but yesterday there was some wonderful entertainment from two of the Pakistan stars,
00:25:08Javed Miendad and Salim Malik.
00:25:10And this is the way they finished at the close of the day.
00:25:13290 for three, Amir Sohail, Ramiz Raja and Asif Mushtaba.
00:25:17The three men dismissed, Javed Miendad on 99 and Salim Malik playing quite beautifully through to the close of play.
00:25:26Now the bowling figures for England, they have a problem on this fourth day because Ian Botham will not be on the field.
00:25:33He suffered a slight groin strain bowling that 19th over there.
00:25:36There's none for 52, but there will be an emergency fielder out there for him.
00:25:41De Freitas has all three wickets, 21 overs, four maidens and three for 73.
00:25:47Lovely conditions for this fourth day.
00:25:50And we join play now with three runs added, 293 for three.
00:25:53De Freitas is bowling to Javed Miendad.
00:25:55He is still on 99.
00:25:57In the air through, an element of risk about that, but a couple of runs of Javed Miendad, his 23rd test century.
00:26:19All in all, beautifully played.
00:26:22Lovely touches.
00:26:24And that'll give him great pleasure.
00:26:25Cracking shot.
00:26:44Oh, dear.
00:26:44Well, that's the same time that De Freitas has pitched on the short side.
00:26:57Miendad cracked one away for his 100, and that got cracked away again.
00:27:04The 300 is up.
00:27:06That's another one, you see, just straying in line, a little bit towards Leg Stump, and a flick of the wrist, and Salim Malik's boundary brings up the 200 partnership between these two batsmen.
00:27:30Full of excellent strokes, and Salim Malik goes on to 97, not out.
00:27:35I guess I think if there's one delivery that's put away easier than any other by a top-class batsman, it's the good length, full length, on the leg stump, going down.
00:27:44It shows the wrist, turn it away, and away it goes.
00:27:46I hope De Freitas is now going to just try a variation, going around the wicket.
00:27:56Well, that's tight.
00:27:58Oh, Mr. Wickets.
00:28:02Incredible decision to run by Javid.
00:28:04Now, did Robin Smith throw the ball, or did he dive at the slumps himself?
00:28:15No sign of Javid.
00:28:17In comes Robin Smith.
00:28:19He threw the ball and missed.
00:28:20It would certainly have been out.
00:28:21Well, that Javid risks a smile there, because let's look at this ball.
00:28:37Really hops up, takes his eye off the ball, and all he's thinking about is, well, Waka Yunus has to bowl on this.
00:28:44First signs of life.
00:28:45Yes, I think that's probably got to be a crack, as I said.
00:28:50There are a lot of cracks in the pitch, and if it had had two or three fine hot days, those would certainly have been very wide by now.
00:28:57But that's a sign that, well, Javid won't mind that at this stage of the game.
00:29:03Oh, dropped.
00:29:05It went quickly, and Hicks stretched out with his right hand.
00:29:09It's one of those that fly off a positive shot, but really, Hick would like to have caught it.
00:29:18It was a very good catching height.
00:29:22And when they go flashing off the back foot, you don't have quite so much time as if they're going forward.
00:29:26It went pretty quickly.
00:29:29Got to put it down as a chance, but it would have been a good catch.
00:29:32Just a super shot.
00:29:47Nice way to bring up three figures.
00:29:50A good innings, and it's answered one of two things.
00:29:53Salim Malik was under pressure not to bat down the list.
00:29:57He said he should be batting up at number three.
00:29:59Well, he's battled at number five, and he's gone on to 103, and he's played quite beautifully.
00:30:09Chris Lewis.
00:30:19That's got to be Al.
00:30:22However, there is a small problem.
00:30:24Umpire, Mervyn Kitchen, has his right arm at the horizontal.
00:30:32Don't think the batsman changed his stroke to any degree.
00:30:36At a leading edge.
00:30:38One of those sort of players is Salim Malik.
00:30:40He can entertain by beautiful shots.
00:30:47He just feels he might get himself out.
00:30:49Oh, that's beautiful.
00:31:06On the replay, it might show that Pringle stretched him a little.
00:31:10The ball swinging away a fraction.
00:31:14He's still got it beautifully off the middle of the bat.
00:31:16Yes, he was drawn quite wide by Derek Pringle, but batsman in form, confident, century behind his name.
00:31:25He's looking to get after anything he feels he can get the middle of the bat on.
00:31:29Well, we saw a great stroke from Salim Malik in the last hope from Pringle.
00:31:48It's no better than that one from Javed off Chris Lewis, who has just bowled another no-ball.
00:31:53Yeah, this is a super shot.
00:31:59He was into it very quickly.
00:32:01We're just getting an idea now how good this pitch is for a batsman who gets in.
00:32:07Salim Malik, now Javed playing their shots with confidence.
00:32:12No-ball called, but the shot was there anyway.
00:32:23Beautiful shot once again.
00:32:24The no-ball didn't really make any difference.
00:32:27Oh, probably the best ball of the morning.
00:32:41Terrific delivery.
00:32:45Yes, he's generally beaten there, there's no doubt about it.
00:32:48Salim going forward, lunging, and the ball moving off the wicket.
00:32:52He did everything right, and maybe the ball just did a little bit too much.
00:32:58Graham Hicks, the bowler.
00:32:59Shaved Meehan, dad, taking strike.
00:33:12He put that into the coaching book.
00:33:15Beautiful movement of the feet.
00:33:18Hi, Shaved.
00:33:19I think Javed's made his intentions quite clear.
00:33:26He's going to try and probably get after Graham Hicks.
00:33:31All right, Graham Rakesh.
00:33:33He's at the ball just before lunch.
00:33:40It's very delicate.
00:33:44Jason Ratcliffe is man chasing.
00:33:46And 400 will come up now for Pakistan in the last over before lunch.
00:33:58And this is the fourth day of the game.
00:34:01That's the 300 partnership, and the fifth one by Pakistan in their test history of over 300.
00:34:20Gone for the hook.
00:34:38And that's 150.
00:34:40Wonderful exhibition of straight play from Salim Malik gets the congratulatory handshake from his captain.
00:34:53And all his smiles in the Pakistan camp at the moment.
00:34:56Well, got a glove there, I think.
00:35:10And what half chances and difficult chances have gone, England haven't helped the cause by
00:35:15doing things like this.
00:35:19It's a wonderful shot.
00:35:28It really is.
00:35:29The footwork was superb.
00:35:31And finally, the partnership comes to an end.
00:35:40Philip De Freitas has earned that.
00:35:56He's had his man dropped.
00:35:57He's beaten the bat.
00:35:59And now he's nailed him.
00:36:00LBW in the end of a wonderful innings from Salim Malik.
00:36:04165 LBW to Philip De Freitas and Pakistan 432 for four.
00:36:15Well, if anybody deserved the wicket, it was certainly Philip De Freitas, who's been the best England bowler.
00:36:22Playing a little bit on the move.
00:36:23Hit him.
00:36:25As you can see, just on the move.
00:36:27Good shout by the bowler.
00:36:28So, Inzaman al-Hax, first ball.
00:36:36And gets the bouncer.
00:36:39This is good stuff from De Freitas, because even though a declaration might be imminent and
00:36:43the game may well be a draw, you must, as a bowler, still keep going and still show what
00:36:50you can do.
00:36:50And off the mark, handsome stroke.
00:37:02So, just two goals to register his first runs in test cricket.
00:37:09Well, there are the two captains.
00:37:15I'm sure both have got things on their minds.
00:37:18Javid had 150 on his mind, which he's got.
00:37:24More applause.
00:37:25More applause.
00:37:26He's used to applause.
00:37:27He's done some magical things in his career.
00:37:31But I know this is important to him, because he is now properly the Pakistan captain.
00:37:39And where the man came from, the ball goes to.
00:37:54I'm not sure if Inzi, as we call him, actually played it there, but it was a safe shot there.
00:38:04It's Derek Ringle.
00:38:05Three runs off the over.
00:38:14And that's the declaration.
00:38:16And Javid whoops off the helmet and walks off.
00:38:234.46 for four.
00:38:25Javid Miandad, 153 not out.
00:38:2719.4s.
00:38:29Terrific innings, that.
00:38:36So many colours, so many cloutes, and so many lovely strokes.
00:38:45A great performance from Pakistan.
00:38:484.46 for four.
00:38:49And a real day of joy, as far as the spectators were concerned.
00:38:53Javid Miandad, 153 and unbeaten.
00:38:56And a lovely knock, too, from Salim Malik, OBW2 to Freitas for 165.
00:39:02Javid strokes all around the ground from him.
00:39:05It was quite magnificent to watch.
00:39:07In yellow, the boundaries he hit.
00:39:10The rest are the ones, twos and threes.
00:39:13And you can see what mastery he held over the England attack.
00:39:17The way he placed the ball, got it away through the field.
00:39:20That is a terrific example on that wagon wheel.
00:39:23And his batting partner, Salim Malik, no slouch either.
00:39:27Played some wonderful drives.
00:39:29And was also very strong on the offside.
00:39:31Square of the wicket, lovely square drives.
00:39:3419.4s.
00:39:35And that one red mark is the six he hit straight down the ground.
00:39:39Well, in the face of all that, none of the bowling figures are going to look very impressive.
00:39:43But full marks to Philip de Freitas.
00:39:44That was a stout-hearted effort.
00:39:4633 overs, six maidens, four for 100 and 21.
00:39:50Lewis, none for 116.
00:39:5192 from Pringle, 52 from Botham, who didn't take the field today owing to a groin strain.
00:39:57Hick, 13 overs for 46.
00:39:59And Gooch and Ramprakash, 11 between them, for just 12 runs.
00:40:04So, that is the sad story for England.
00:40:07The declaration came mid-afternoon.
00:40:11And we join play now in the England innings.
00:40:13It's the fourth ball of the second over.
00:40:15Akib Javid is the bowler from the pavilion end.
00:40:17Alex Stewart is taking strike and three runs are on the board.
00:40:21Wonderful shot.
00:40:32Stewart is a very, very good square cutter.
00:40:36That was just about perfect.
00:40:41Short and wide, and Stewart very good in that area.
00:40:45And that will give him a little bit of confidence.
00:40:47There's nothing better for a batsman to feed the ball in the middle of the bat like that.
00:40:50Early in the innings.
00:40:57Good out-swinger, and that's the ball for which Akib Javid is renowned.
00:41:01He manages to get it to leave the right-handers.
00:41:10Yes, Gooch definitely played since he pulled the bat away afterwards,
00:41:13but played at it a long way from his body as well.
00:41:16See the bat there is a long way from his body.
00:41:19There's no doubt about it.
00:41:21Graham Gooch has improved tremendously in the last two years as a test player,
00:41:25but he's still a bit vulnerable just outside that off stump early on.
00:41:28Once again in the square cut boundary.
00:41:31It's one of those things with Alex Stewart.
00:41:35It looks sometimes as so that's his vulnerable area, but in my word, he makes a lot of runs.
00:41:42Yes, you won't see anything much better than this again. It was short and wide.
00:41:47That down, there's no doubt about it. It didn't go up and really flushed away just behind square on the offside again.
00:41:56It's the second in his innings so far.
00:41:59It's a good performance in a short career. He's only played 15 matches for Kai Eunice.
00:42:0371 wickets at less than 20 and a strike rate of 38.
00:42:09Beautiful square right there.
00:42:34Well really there's no apparent power put in for that shot, under real flourish, certainly
00:42:55only a strong defensive shot but it went to the cover boundary without any problem at
00:42:59the end. No real flourish it only though, just a strong defensive shot, a perfect timing.
00:43:05Now Javid is about to come out and take over the running of things, Salim Malik will become senior
00:43:13advisor, Javid will take over the tactical side, top of the world ratings, Graham Gooch pushing on now
00:43:23towards 8,000 runs, batting average of over 40.
00:43:38Oh that's out and he struck, Akif Javid gets his man, Gooch caught forward short leg and the first England
00:43:47wicket, 28 for 1. Well this was beautifully bowled by the youngster, I've just been saying that his
00:43:55stock ball is the out swing or out seamer, Graham Gooch gets a little batting pad, up it pops,
00:44:02with a very simple catch that anybody could have caught.
00:44:05Well new batsman is Graham Higg, oh close, very close.
00:44:25Well there are 11 Pakistani fielders there jumping up and screaming out, thousands in the crowd,
00:44:37and I think my heart was in my mouth when I saw this, I'm sure Graham Gooch was, just going down leg stump.
00:44:44Shot. Not all that short.
00:44:59And Higg wouldn't have changed his stroke because of the no ball call.
00:45:06He hit it down quite beautifully through mid wicket.
00:45:08Shot delivery and Higg first on the front foot and then swing back.
00:45:16Here is ample time to play that shot and played it beautifully.
00:45:32Straight at catchable height between gully and second slip.
00:45:36Higg. And that was the away swinger.
00:45:40He got very cleverly Akib Javid, kept on spewing the ball in at Higg.
00:45:45And then gave him the one that goes away just a little.
00:45:54North head man, he picked up four runs.
00:45:57And Asif Mushtaba, he pulled in the World Cup competition, very effectively too.
00:46:12Lovely shots, he left it very late.
00:46:15Played it late and square.
00:46:16Well, there are not many better off-site players than Graham Ek when he's in full flow.
00:46:27And that was a perfect example there.
00:46:28Mustak Ahmed, the leg spinner on.
00:46:31The beautiful shot brings up the 100.
00:46:44And so squares Alex Steele it up with Graham Ek at 45 apiece.
00:46:51Well, for me, this is the best shot in the England Indians.
00:46:53And it's been packed with a powerful stroke play, and that'll do him a power of good.
00:47:22That's 50 for Alex Steele.
00:47:40That's 50 for Alex Steele.
00:47:41It's a good one, and as always with him, he's batted positively.
00:47:54Hasn't always looked at home, but that's his fifth 50 for England.
00:48:0085 balls and 7-4s.
00:48:05Graham Hick on strike.
00:48:07And he's gone, and that is the area that Graham Hick has showed he was vulnerable last year.
00:48:19Wacky Unis came back, and in his second over, having only bowled three balls to Hick before he got to 50, he's got him out.
00:48:2611 balls and all Wacky Unis took to dismiss him, and that's the end of Graham Hick.
00:48:33It's been a good innings, but one that he would have loved to have gone on, and feels perhaps he should have done to make a bigger score.
00:48:40But 51 good runs, England now, 121 for two.
00:48:50First ball for Robin Smith.
00:48:52Word, that did a lot.
00:48:59Obviously too much as far as umpire may is concerned.
00:49:03Well, this is a very slippy delivery onto Robin Smith quite quickly.
00:49:07It might just have done too much.
00:49:09It did come back.
00:49:10That's a good shot from Stewart.
00:49:23Really does climb into these short ones.
00:49:28It's his 9th floor.
00:49:29Oh, dear me.
00:49:42All but number two for Wacky Unis.
00:49:45Well, this is a definite outside edge.
00:49:48It all but carries to the wicketkeeper just in front of him.
00:49:52Robin Smith wouldn't know that.
00:49:54He'd still be looking at where the ball pitched and hoping somebody dropped it.
00:50:00It actually didn't carry, and it's a very good spell from Wacky Unis.
00:50:07It's a good shot.
00:50:09Fast outfield, four runs.
00:50:14It's been the one thing about the bowling of Wacky Unis.
00:50:18He's just tended to stray down leg side.
00:50:21I have the feeling that he's got himself a bit more front on since he's had his back problem.
00:50:26And it just pushes a little bit towards leg stump.
00:50:29Aqib Javid takes over now from Mushtaq Ahmed.
00:50:39Get four for that.
00:50:40No one tomorrow reading the score in the newspapers will know how he made it.
00:50:46Gosh, that's good timing.
00:51:03Fine effort from Mushtaq Ahmed, but beautifully timed.
00:51:07And very well placed by Alex Stewart.
00:51:09There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:11There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:12There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:13There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:19There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:20There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:32There was a time when anyone playing with Surrey would have the big S.S. on the bat.
00:51:47That's a good shot.
00:51:50Three wonderful shots in this over.
00:51:54To take Alex Stewart into the nineties.
00:51:57Brilliant stuff.
00:51:59It certainly was.
00:52:02And eight more runs were added from the last over bowl.
00:52:05That was by Waqar Yunus to take the total up to 170 for two.
00:52:09Very good performance from England in the light of that splendid batting effort from Pakistan.
00:52:15Bowling figures for Pakistan.
00:52:17They did well with Waqar Yunus having a good workout.
00:52:2012 overs, 1 maiden, 1 for 45.
00:52:22His first time back at this level since his back injury.
00:52:26Aqib Javad was a little expensive.
00:52:29It wasn't quite as much on line as I've come to expect from him.
00:52:3210 overs, 1 maiden, 1 for 51.
00:52:35Mushtaq the leg spinner.
00:52:3615 overs, 3 maidens, none for 45.
00:52:38Bowled some great deliveries and some loose ones.
00:52:41And Raman and Asif Mushtaq between them bowled 6 overs.
00:52:45So the state of the match with one day to go.
00:52:47Pakistan made a good declaration.
00:52:49446 for 4.
00:52:51Javed Meeh and Dad, 1.53 not out.
00:52:53Salim Malik, 165.
00:52:55And Philip De Freitas, a splendid performance from him in the face of that big total.
00:53:004 for 121.
00:53:02All four wickets to fall.
00:53:04England in reply, 1.70 for 2.
00:53:08So it was a great day's cricket.
00:53:10Around 300 runs scored in the day.
00:53:13And plenty of entertainment for the crowd.
00:53:15As was the case yesterday when those two Pakistan batsmen,
00:53:19Shaved Meeh and Dad and Salim Malik did so well.
00:53:21We leave you tonight though with an Englishman, Alex Stewart,
00:53:25who is not far away from yet another Test Match 100.
00:53:29The Disaster Match 100.
00:53:45The Disaster Match 100.
00:53:49The Disaster Match 80.
00:53:52That's a good shot.
00:54:22Three wonderful shots in this over to take Alex Stewart into the 90s.
00:54:30Brilliant stuff.
00:54:34It certainly was, and eight more runs were added from the last over bowl.
00:54:37That was by Waka Yunus to take the total up to 170 for two.
00:54:41Very good performance from England in the light of that splendid batting effort from Pakistan.
00:54:47The bowling figures for Pakistan, they did well with Waka Yunus having a good workout.
00:54:53Twelve overs, one maiden, one for 45.
00:54:55His first time back at this level since his back injury.
00:54:59Aqib Javad was a little expensive.
00:55:01It wasn't quite as much on line as I've come to expect from him.
00:55:05Ten overs, one maiden, one for 51.
00:55:07Mushtak the leg spinner, 15 overs, three maidens, none for 45.
00:55:10Bowled some great deliveries and some loose ones.
00:55:13And Rahman and Asif Mushtaba between them bowled six overs.
00:55:17So the state of the match with one day to go.
00:55:19Pakistan made a good declaration at the moment before a ball is bowled on the final day of 276.
00:55:27We're conditioned to a very good, absolutely ideal pitch.
00:55:31Beautiful bounce and a bit of pace in it for the batsmen.
00:55:33We've seen some great timing from all the batsmen on show so far.
00:55:37We join play now with the last ball of the second over.
00:55:40Waka Yunus is the bowler.
00:55:41Alex Stewart is taking strike.
00:55:43And eight runs have been added to the overnight score.
00:55:46Well there's a bit of looking between mid-off and cover point before cover finally took off.
00:55:56But that's gone for four.
00:55:58And really that was as a result of the reluctance of either of them to go.
00:56:06So it takes Alex Stewart to the brink, 99.
00:56:10I think to be honest now the cover norm mid-off wanted to chase it.
00:56:15Have a look at him and shall I go?
00:56:18Will you go?
00:56:27Handsome shot.
00:56:37Well you may see back foot shots as good as this.
00:56:40But you won't see them as powerful.
00:56:42You'll just play it well.
00:56:44And you'll just hit it hard.
00:56:54As in the Packish down innings, a great percentage of runs coming from boundaries.
00:57:00That was the 26th.
00:57:02So well over half of this England scoring fours.
00:57:06That's it.
00:57:07Five hundred.
00:57:08Very positive one.
00:57:09Because he had his moments of uncertainty yesterday against the leg spin of Mustaq Ahmed.
00:57:18But he still went for his shots.
00:57:19And that completes an extraordinary run really of four hundreds for England.
00:57:30In five test matches.
00:57:31And in fact four hundreds in eight innings.
00:57:35Eighteen fours.
00:57:36Eighteen fours.
00:57:37Eighteen fours.
00:57:38One hundred and thirty-two balls.
00:57:40Plays that shot so well.
00:57:41Really is one of the cleanest hitters in English cricket.
00:57:46Beautifully balanced to be able to pick that length and do this too.
00:57:57plays that shot so well really is one of the cleanest hitters in English cricket
00:58:06beautifully balanced to be able to pick that length and do this too that
00:58:14boundary brought up the 200 for England and took Stewart on to 111
00:58:27now was that a catch it looks from the bowler's attitude that he thinks it was
00:58:39yes I think it was I think Robin Smith is trying to dominate him he's trying to get there he just
00:58:45hits it straight back at him and it absolutely mortified the bowler simple catch like that
00:58:51he's first over and he's put it down that's what you get
00:59:01only 143 balls that is a very very good strike rate
00:59:18no better underlining of the strength of Robin Smith with that back foot shot on the offside
00:59:36magnificent shot by Robin Smith there
00:59:39there's that extra yard of pace
00:59:51well he went wide in the crease there and uh one part kitchen working out what the angle would have
01:00:03been I think we should see this is quite wide in the crease there as Jack said
01:00:09well angling in and continuing comfortable to miss that leg step
01:00:14with disdain
01:00:27well he's played this shot before as Alex Stewart just the same he dismisses it quite easily
01:00:39lovely improvised pull shot
01:00:42150 for Stewart
01:00:55that's a splendid performance
01:01:0450 for Robin Smith
01:01:1750 for Robin Smith
01:01:26Now Moustak Ahmed to Alex Stewart.
01:01:46It's a great way to start the afternoon session for Stewart, first goal he's faced, it's
01:01:59gone for four, that brings up the 300 for England.
01:02:08This is the young seam bowler, Atul Rayman, and away that goes for four, oh, now there is
01:02:33as good a ball as you could ever get from a leg spinner.
01:02:37Robin Smith smiles and deserved everything, just look at this.
01:02:44That's absolutely Jaffa.
01:02:49It's a great shot really from Stewart because, I'll tell you what, there was not much room
01:03:00there for him to do that, and that had to be perfectly timed to beat the third man who'd
01:03:07got no more than 20 yards to run round, and that was a brilliantly executed shot and a
01:03:13fitting one really to bring up the 200 stand.
01:03:14Well, that's the first streaky shot really that you can think about.
01:03:21One of the few records left is the 411 partnership between Peter May and Colin Cowdery on the ground.
01:03:36Who knows, we've got well over another session, nearly two sessions left.
01:03:43Two sessions left.
01:03:44Oh, he managed to get himself in a terrible knot there.
01:03:50A loud choke.
01:03:51And a firm denial.
01:03:52Well, I suppose you do get a bit excited if you get one past the bat, bolt wide of the crease,
01:03:57missing leg stump and high.
01:03:58That's true.
01:03:59That's true.
01:04:00That's true.
01:04:01That's true.
01:04:02That's true.
01:04:03That's true.
01:04:04That's true.
01:04:05That's true.
01:04:06That's true.
01:04:07Well, at least, to keep that close, but it's a bit short and short, and a firm denial.
01:04:09Well, I suppose you do get a bit excited if you get one past the bat, bolt wide of the crease,
01:04:14missing leg stump and high.
01:04:18That's true.
01:04:19That's true.
01:04:21That's true.
01:04:24That's true.
01:04:26That's true.
01:04:29That's true.
01:04:33well at least he keeps smiling as much that good delivery again he's
01:04:38certainly caused a few problems for robin smith since lunch
01:04:49well that's well bold again and robin smith reaching for that last delivery
01:04:55just tends to get his front foot there a little bit early sometimes robin smith and then it's on
01:04:59the wrong line you see there the pad was on the line of the ball and he had to readjust as well
01:05:12good shot it was a quicker ball and he used the pace
01:05:17and stewart's been reading with strathwell
01:05:22and again he waited
01:05:23yes this is one of the advantages for the england batsman they've been able to spend a long time at
01:05:30the wicket and even if you struggle at the start by the time you've been in a few hours you do begin to
01:05:37read the bowler and that puts thunder in good stead throughout the series
01:05:43just like a benefit match now sunday afternoon benefit match
01:05:46worka unis nice short name sign that many times i'm sure in his future
01:06:01he's gone he's gone
01:06:05a miscue by alex stewart on 190
01:06:08a lot of power but he was beginning to look just a little bit tired
01:06:36and i think that was probably good about his downpour
01:06:40just a little bit of a tired shot with a marvellous
01:06:47court sally malik gold of three men 190 and in comes mark rambrakash
01:06:54that career record doesn't look too impressive but
01:06:57one of those runs were made against the west indies when although rambrakash didn't get a big score he did
01:07:02but for a long time once or twice some not right good wickets either so i think his career average is far better than what it looks
01:07:14oh they shout and the finger goes up and rambrakash looks quite surprised
01:07:22it's beautifully bold and a flat wicket without bounce you've got a little bit of lift there
01:07:27and how often have we seen that happen raymond the big partnership followed by a samko victim who gets north
01:07:35well i was saying it's not necessarily a good time to come in after a big partnership and
01:07:39so it proved but that was a fine delivery certainly got some bounce from somewhere
01:07:43he's been very little bounce in this pitch throughout the match
01:07:47both from wideish i'm sure probably a little bit shorter than we thought originally but
01:07:53certainly climb that's good bowling by the young man
01:08:07well you saw there alan lamp not really much idea about this it's a little push a lot of right hand
01:08:14he's walking into the shot the ball spun away off the outside edge not very convincing
01:08:27that's a wonderful shot
01:08:31he has hammered that i don't know if his back stood up to the strain but it was a great shot
01:08:44and there's another one beautiful stroke no chance of coming at all
01:08:53and robin smith century comes up a very good hand he's had one or two moments of indecision
01:08:58that's a good shot
01:09:19that's a good shot beautifully placed
01:09:28caught him
01:09:41wicked number three
01:09:46lamb goes for 12
01:09:49and the youngsters having a field day
01:09:53i don't know what you think of that for a dismissal jeffrey
01:09:56well i just said that alan lamie does play shots
01:10:01he's always going to score or get out just a touch too soon
01:10:13what a start for lewis
01:10:14that's the end of his over smile despite that core and uh
01:10:27he's got good figures there they are three for 67 but uh since lunch 12 overs five maidens
01:10:36three for 36
01:10:46now did he get a nick
01:10:49i'm sure it did inside it's not an easy one
01:10:52now if that's the other one playing no shot that's close now let's have a look how much it did and how high it was
01:11:08there it is sitting outside and well that is very close
01:11:14well that was a quality shot
01:11:27well that was a quality shot
01:11:29well that was not impressed but uh there was a turn of the wrists there from from chris lewis
01:11:43that was a wonderful shot because the two field is out there
01:11:53and that brings up the 400
01:11:56also makes this afternoon session worth more than 100 runs 2.99 for two it was at
01:12:04lunch 402 for five so a lively session
01:12:20that's a cracking shot
01:12:25i'll get the ball up to christos he doesn't mind this ground played very well here last year
01:12:33now chris lewis prefers the ball coming on a little bit quicker
01:12:37and that was a good shot short just outside off stump how many times have we seen that ball dispatched in this match
01:12:55now that might be on the field i don't know if sally mollick's going to be too pleased with that
01:13:08it was a very laid-back piece of fielding
01:13:12field of ran round and didn't even bother to go down for it
01:13:27drag back mr Ahmed has his first wicket now there's a good lesson for everyone he's toiled away
01:13:35all the way through 43 and a half overs he's beaten the bat confused the batsman at times they've carted him
01:13:45around the ground as well and all of a sudden he gets his first wicket with the batsman dragging one
01:13:50back on from the inside edge rubber to green or luck of the game whatever you like this is a well wide
01:13:59two feet wide louis down for the mighty shuttle recover inside edge and that's the first time the
01:14:06stumps have been into the match russell is the new batsman
01:14:23and that's one of jack's favorite shots to be dropped it short
01:14:29he likes to play that but you can see the cheeks blowing out with some relief
01:14:36well this is right he's been hemmed in by all the fielders but when he gets something he thinks he
01:14:40can hit take a chance whack it
01:14:51oh well how didn't that pull him i'll never know
01:14:59a good effort but four by is signaled that'll be fascinating to watch again
01:15:11we'll see here that the ball is well pitched up almost uh too well pitched to
01:15:16long hop robins with weight into that one
01:15:33scores our level now with pakistan
01:15:35oh that's out beautifully bold
01:15:47it's quicker flatter trajectory and robin smith thrust onto the back foot
01:15:53simply couldn't pick him
01:15:54classic bit of bowling but also a splendid innings by robin smith 127 rbw of mr army
01:16:08with the scores even 446 england lose their seventh ticket
01:16:15well you'll see here the classic case of robin smith not picking the delivery coming back and i don't
01:16:20think there's any doubt about that look how far back he is into the stilms
01:16:34that's a typical russell shot
01:16:50can give it a fearful tip to him with it
01:17:00that's the spoon shot miles of space out there
01:17:22refuriating the bowl out jack russell you look to have him in trouble he's crouching shuffling
01:17:27and nudging away and suddenly he just flips you through mid-wicket
01:17:35five more runs added and jack russell finished up with 29 not out in that total
01:17:40of 459 the innings was declared closed after the fierce storm hit edge baston and play was called off
01:17:47for the remainder of the day some excellent performances there alex stewart 190 and robin smith 127
01:17:53and lewis made 24 459 47 and this is the way alex stewart made his runs
01:18:02it's a wonderful innings from him he's improved leaps and bounds in recent times as he gains in
01:18:09experience so his confidence grows his stroke play here and his timing and placement
01:18:14were quite outstanding 31 fours in that 190 now the bowling figures make interesting reading
01:18:22wakai unis has come through his fitness test in this game 24 overs two maidens and one for 96
01:18:28akib javid wasn't at his best 16 overs cost him 86 and he had one wicket now mushtaq was very very
01:18:35interesting 50 overs eight maidens two for 100 and 56 it was a great pleasure to watch him he's only young
01:18:42he's playing in his fourth test match here he's played in plenty of one dayers but over the five
01:18:46day period this is only the fourth time he's appeared and it was a good performance he could
01:18:52have had much better figures than that against that stewart in particular played him well and used his
01:18:59feet well so there'll be a little bit of comfort in the english camp that stewart was able to do that
01:19:04mushtaq troubled a lot of the other batsmen and as the game went on he got more and more spin
01:19:10remand three for 69 in his first test match over here and that was a good effort he's an energetic
01:19:16young pace bowler and looks very keen and looks to have a ton of potential well that's the way the
01:19:21match finished pakistan 446 for four declared that wonderful innings from javid me and dad 153 not
01:19:26out salim malik 165 and england 459 for seven stewart 190 and smith 127 it was a batsman's match and
01:19:35david lloyd the adjudicator chose alex stewart as the man of the match and deservedly so
