00:00the toss of the coin went the way of the tourists and Uphoturanga said that
00:08we'll have a bowl first thanks
00:11that likes to go hard in the hands most players do of course inside the power
00:16player you want to get on with it two new balls
00:20likes it there any left hander will that's easy pickings that will just keep
00:27hitting you especially with fine leg up you're asking for trouble over the top
00:33oh no he's got him beautiful catch pressure was mounting for Zaza to get off
00:39the mark he decided to come down the pitch flicked it and he says I've got to
00:47have a piece of this one this was only a card we could tell that it's coming and
00:52look at that that's more like it now elegant that's why we back him because
00:58he's a great talent fabulous on drive is what ticks anyone off oh what a good
01:08shot this is class pure class
01:13shot for Pereira can go for runs that's gone fine and once it beat the field it
01:22was always going to run and crash into the fence cross it through the hole the
01:27tire this isn't going through the tire this is disappearing but mid wicket is his
01:37area oh knocked him over and the wrong one at speed but I didn't pick it hello I'm
01:50gonna face on his downtown and straight wonderful straight drive oh this is good
02:00this is really good he's looking very good in fact that's another boundary on and
02:04has played some lovely shots adjusted well to that length went back and crashed it
02:08over mid wicket where the pace is nice enough just to be too short again that's
02:17another boundary he's been so good himself taken off after that blistering 50 that he
02:23got in the final of the Champions Trophy everything almost every boundary has been
02:28middle that's how much he's sponsored and looked after oh that's beautiful
02:33beautiful shot indeed oh almost a blinder really has been a special catch because
02:42Barbara Azam is striking the ball it was so sweetly here would have been a very good
02:47catch that credit to the bowler really for managing he like that that's hit him on
02:53the thigh and given by the umpire is gone for a review he was bending low Hafiz keep it
02:59going keep it running through nice and slowly keep it going okay thank you Ravi we have a spike on ultra
03:08edge as the ball passes the bat I'm gonna ask you to overturn your decision please you're on camera now
03:13has gone up in the air will this be taken log on comes into play Hafiz has been dismissed that was a poor
03:25delivery but again he was looking to try and hit it down towards deep midwick at the
03:29bounce and the turn
03:32nice
03:34delicate little touch from show it Malik he'll get for
03:43Malik wants to he'll get it very good running
03:47he's got his 50 he's been there a long time now so he's picking length quickly rock back crusts the pitch
04:06evening
04:06Malik down the ground he'll be caught he'll be caught in the stands uses the depth of the crease and uses his feet to get down to the ground
04:08he'll be caught he'll be caught in the stands uses the depth of the crease and
04:14uses his feet to get down to the pitch and very rarely goes big goes big and
04:25hits the rope on the full it was a great pickup short was waiting for it it sat
04:32back in his crease allowed the baller to ball in his own maybe just landed inside
04:39but is your right excellent shot good pickup shot the right arm Lexman always
04:44handing on the full and he'll get a boundary there is no cover in experience
04:53there was not a good delivery there he is this is just just to the left of mid off
05:01it's that's not a right line and right length that's that's asking for
05:05trouble outside the off stump with mid off up in the circle through a Malik with a
05:11kind of experience oh that was unlucky yeah that went between the bat and pad it
05:23was very difficult for the wicketkeeper to get that one they went very quickly it
05:28went away from him there is that big push from shred Malik read the link so well
05:38and still has got enough energy in him
05:43you slightly off that's what happens beautifully waited he's obviously awaiting
05:49the big strokes through the offside so overcompensating juicy softball on the
05:56pads and other slow one let's have a look oh yeah here we go and there we go
06:03providing him with a lot of with trying the the leg cutter and getting it all
06:09wrong
06:11oh give it a hey and God should be taken I reckon it's just a wrong technique to
06:21tackle a high catch you need to be pushing yourself sideways rather than
06:26back paddling and I was in by a long way one again flex it with the wrist but it's
06:35gone picked out a killer this time only ever so slightly with the shorter length the
06:42off cutter attempted and the field was set for this miscue from Shreemalik and then Jay with a good clean catch
06:49here comes Pereira
06:57listen to the crowd there is his sixth ODI 100 is fourth here in the UAE get bit of reassurance
07:06that's gone up in the air that should be an early exit for Safras he's gone and so is Safras lovely little change of pace just a knuckleball with the seam up looking to slice it away
07:11on the onside but he only gets an outside edge here he goes again but it's straight up and Gonski safe hands
07:32this had to be connected quite brightly to beat the field log on came into play and took an easy catch and that's the end of Barbarasa
07:43sounded okay it's found a gap as well
07:49Hassan Ali with a big shot agricultural okay that doesn't matter at this stage of the game
07:55this has been smoked just a bit round Amish was the setup Pereira and the slot and deposited over long on
08:08287 three balls left it gives it the charge a little inside out oh no no you're kidding me
08:20don't worry look on the captain this really should have been stopped just a little pause he over ran it and then makes a bit of spun
08:29last ball swing and a miss 89 runs in the last 10 overs 292 for six
