00:00but it's a very very good-looking island side who have not made many changes in
00:04the tournament pakistan two one let's go oh that's gone what a shot that is
00:15in position early and picked the links so quickly for a second it felt like a
00:22six would have been a six the game against England was played much closer
00:26towards the Sir Donald Bradman stand this one's further over there was a one
00:33bounds for his speed he's got to pitch the ball up
00:36border field very quick on to that maybe someone they can target here
00:42oh is that close enough to call the finger is raised and he's gone
00:47Swale Khan with an excellent in fact it's Hassan Adell who's produced a good
00:51delivery he stands on that middle stump so playing across the line wasn't such a
00:56good option yeah when you're standing on middle and off anything on your eyeline
01:03is going to be hitting the stumps and he knew that it's a dangerous game to play
01:06he backed himself to hit it he wanted the bowler to come to him the bowler did come
01:11to him
01:14and he's played all round a straight one probably going on to hit leg stump
01:19Pakistan have their first blow
01:26yeah the flags are out and he's gone Paul sterling for three eleven for one good length
01:33Joyce in good nick though he's having a fantastic tournament he's the player that Ireland need to go big it's fifteen for one
01:40good pull shot that should make it to the fence lovely pickup shot by the left hander
01:51Porterfield has played a good shot of the last ball of that over 22 for the loss of one oh
01:59oh that's gone that's done the distance whack over square leg
02:06well the one thing we've seen from this Porterfield innings is that he's picking up length beautifully
02:11it's not the quickest of pitches and anything back of a length is sitting up and Porterfield is pouncing on it
02:20he's done it twice at the other end and the first time that Sir Hale dropped short that it wasn't that short he's popped him for six
02:34and stopped
02:41wow upon such moments
02:49I'm a Shahzad is the man at backward point
02:53almost as if he was wrong footed expecting the ball to come at him or a little at his left side
02:59and it goes hard to his right side and there's no balance there no sense that he might cling on other than as a one-off
03:08oh yeah
03:10this is a completely different William Porterfield in the first half of the tournament he was uncertain
03:17didn't have any timing he had the mental strength to occupy the crease but
03:23this is a William Porterfield it looks as if he's thrown off the shackles
03:30so 24 to 31
03:33there's a short delivery on this
03:36good batting track
03:38great stroke
03:42this is the very best
03:45of William Porterfield he's playing as freely as I've ever seen him play
03:50yeah we're balled
03:53little skinny one is it
03:55nope
03:56no
03:57right now they're so sure Pakistan
04:00I think Sir Faraz is saying he's heard something
04:03it's Ed Joyce too
04:05yeah you review because it's a big fish
04:07so it's a tactical review I think rather than being certain of a bad mistake by the umpire
04:14definitely was a spot this definitely was a noise there was so Snicko is going to play a big part here
04:21go Snicko give us the right decision not a no ball not even near to a no ball
04:32Rad is the bowler Joyce is the batsman here's the verdict
04:36doesn't look like he's hit that maybe his bat clips is the top of the head flap
04:43probably it appears that way let's have a look at the Snicko meter
04:47oh now or is that the bat hitting the bat clipping the left corner of the pad roll
04:55it's a massive heartbeat
04:58probably better angle from here
05:02have a look at gap between bat and ball
05:06and the batsman slide angle instinctively I'm not sure that's out
05:10it's a difficult one
05:11yeah well this is a difficult one
05:13the very difficult one
05:15here we go original decision not out
05:18it's edge
05:21it's out that's what it is
05:25it's out Ed Joyce not so proficient with the stroke as William Porterfield
05:30so the cost of the drop isn't quite as heavy as it might have been
05:35and Wahab strikes what a good cricketer he's become
05:39that was his 12th wicket
05:41Ed Joyce
05:45Ed Joyce
05:47top-edged
05:48was looking to play towards the square leg
05:51and an easy catch
05:53so he's got his first wicket 12th for this world cup
05:56by Wahab Riaz
05:59he looked good
06:00but he had to go
06:02Umar Akmal takes the catch
06:03Wahab Riaz has the wicket just 11 for Ed Joyce
06:06it's 56 for 2
06:10runs here for O'Brien
06:12and he's away with the boundary
06:14too short
06:15a touch wide
06:16and the new batsman fresh to the wicket can cash in
06:19what a relief for him
06:20not the best delivery to bowl
06:22against the newcomer
06:24he's expecting a short delivery on a back foot
06:26short and wide
06:28and
06:29nicely played
06:31well done
06:34now Nile O'Brien
06:36and I think Wahab is too short today
06:38I think he's banging the middle out of a pitch that's giving him nothing back for it
06:48yeah short delivery they're gonna be very careful no fielder there now square leg has gone back
06:53and he was expecting there look at the movement there the first movement was he went back and then he made it look very easy didn't he
07:03and
07:05if they happen to
07:07score big
07:08and another 50
07:09for Porterfield
07:10he's batted well
07:11the captain
07:12they've probably bowled a little bit too short to him
07:14but in a tournament where
07:15his strike rate's been in the low 60s
07:18bubble today
07:19in the big game
07:20it's like a final they need to win
07:22he's crunched 59
07:23or 53
07:24off just 59 deliveries
07:26well it is terrific for a player when he finds his touch
07:29and see the shots that he's played
07:32full of confidence
07:36all gone
07:37he's stayed in the pitch
07:39Nile O'Brien again was going absolutely fine
07:42short ball pays dividends
07:44yeah it wasn't the greatest delivery of all time
07:48but O'Brien probably had enough time to hit that square of the wicket
07:52but it was a back foot punch and it was in the air
07:54and if you do that you take a risk
07:56and on this occasion it didn't work for him
07:58just a flick of the wrist
08:00you can see that point region
08:02could have hit it in the air and been safe
08:04so massive wicket for Pakistan
08:06look at the fans they're enjoying it here at the Adelaide Oval
08:09three wickets down
08:11and O'Brien who's had a good tournament
08:13back in the sheds
08:1512 off 10 deliveries
08:17and it's 86 for 3
08:21particular
08:22flicked away down the leg side
08:23this is long chase
08:24ball wins
08:27yeah it must have been a nice delicate leg glance
08:29because it's such a long ground
08:31the Adelaide Oval straight
08:33Porterfield
08:34you just don't need to over hit the ball
08:36use the pace of the bowler to your advantage
08:38which he does
08:39that's a beautiful leg glance
08:41generally
08:43fine leg
08:44a little bit squarer here
08:45at the Adelaide Oval
08:46and the Ireland fans
08:47now it's their time to celebrate
08:49in the air
08:52not time but hit well enough
08:54and that's the shortest hit
08:55on this ground
08:56that'll be a four
08:57that'll be a four
09:04oh just gets through
09:05went down a little bit early there
09:07and they come back for three
09:12that's more like the captain
09:15hello it's a mistake
09:20by Balbani and the wicket
09:22my goodness me what a move
09:25it's proved to be from Ms. Baal Haq
09:27perfect because this Balbani is dangerous as the innings goes on
09:32fantastic moment to take a wicket
09:37well you've got to classify this as a very very soft dismissal
09:42well you've got to classify this as a very very soft dismissal
09:44well you've got to classify this as a very soft dismissal
09:46yeah it wasn't such a great execution
09:47he really had to fetch that ball from outside the off stump
09:50and an easy catch for Shahid Afridi
09:51for Shahid Afridi, and the change worked.
09:56This is a bonus for Pakistan.
10:00And Andrew goes for 18, and it's 1.34 for four.
10:06And back! Shot of him.
10:10Not by a lot.
10:15It's hard to think, is it?
10:18He picked that up very quickly and moved very quickly and commit to the catch.
10:23I think he did commit himself, but with his legs more than his hands.
10:29Yeah, in the end, he did well, actually,
10:32because that ball could have easily spun away from his reach.
10:37That has beaten the man at mid-off.
10:40Good smothering drive from Will Porterfield.
10:44He kind of laid into it.
10:47Well, that's a smashing drive against the spin, but he made it look very easy.
10:50Have a look at this drive.
10:51Just stayed inside the line of that one and found the gap.
10:56And so that boundary means pressure on the misspap, pressure on the bowler.
11:02Back cutting the goal for four.
11:05That's a bonus off that last delivery of the 37th.
11:08171 for four.
11:13Oh, it's through his hands, he'll get his century here.
11:17Come back for a couple.
11:18It was a chance, sharp chance.
11:20He's seventh at One Day International 100.
11:24He's first in the World Cup.
11:26He's third against a test-playing nation.
11:28Look at the joy.
11:29What a performance from Porterfield.
11:37First century in the World Cup.
11:42Just off 124 deliveries with ten fours and one sixth fragment of 81.5.
11:4850 in the previous game, 100 here.
11:56He's celebrating round Ireland now.
11:59They'll be having a crack.
12:02Oh, that's a lonely shot and nobody's moved, four more.
12:12What a shot from Porterfield.
12:15He's 105 now.
12:17And look at the Irish, they're celebrating, enjoying.
12:24Well, they'll be pouring a few Guinness in Donegal, in Strangford lot, Dublin, Belfast.
12:29All Ireland.
12:31Oh, to mid-arm.
12:34Does he take the catch?
12:35Yes, he does.
12:36An excellent catch.
12:37It's boom-boom.
12:38Wicked for Suhail.
12:43At the right time for Pakistan.
12:45Well-judged catch by Shahid Afidi in the end.
12:49And the crowd is happy.
12:52And the set batsman gone.
12:54Porterfield played really well for his 100.
12:57Top edge, he knows he's in trouble now.
13:02Shahid Afidi takes an excellent catch.
13:07He's on the edge of the 30-yard circle.
13:09He's got to move low to his left.
13:11Good catch.
13:12Timely wicket.
13:13He's played wonderfully well, Will Porterfield, for Ireland.
13:17107.
13:18182 for five.
13:20It's a little bit of width there and cuts it back with a point powerfully.
13:27Ball wins.
13:29It wasn't the best delivery.
13:35Two dot balls and then short and wide.
13:38Fielder at extra cover was not there where it should be.
13:45Should have been.
13:46Oh, fielder down there at third man, fallen into the trap, gone.
13:57Safe hands, safe fielder.
14:00Wahab Riaz.
14:02The short delivery.
14:04Lucky, Suhail Khan has got the wicket.
14:07Went straight to Wahab Riaz at third man.
14:11That was a set batsman.
14:16Good wicket for Pakistan.
14:17He meddled it but it's a bigger side of the Adelaide Oval.
14:21About 80 meters.
14:23Such a comfortable field of this boy.
14:27And wicket.
14:32Second wicket for Suhail.
14:34Wilson departs for 29 of 38.
14:37Ireland 189 foot 6 now.
14:41There's an outside edge.
14:43Lacoste Spohr.
14:44Charging down a third man.
14:46He won't get that.
14:47So bonus runs for Thompson.
14:49Shahid Afridi took a good catch earlier.
14:52Couldn't chase that one down.
14:53Yeah, he thought about the slider, Afridi.
14:55But we've seen on two or three occasions on this ground.
14:58This spongy outfield.
14:59The knee could get stuck in.
15:01There is a slip in for the outside edge but it was wide.
15:04Afridi thought about diving.
15:09Didn't want to injure himself.
15:12Oh, up in the air.
15:14Splice of the bat.
15:15Batsman's already walking off and that's why.
15:21Umar Akmal keeps the ball.
15:24And they continue to take wickets, Pakistan.
15:27Yeah, that wasn't a cover drive.
15:30It was shorter and looked like it just was a little bit quicker.
15:33And it's good bowling there.
15:35He'd actually trained Thompson just to play the cover drive.
15:40This one a short ball.
15:41Bouncer.
15:42He was in no position to hit that through the leg side with any power at all.
15:46And Umar Akmal went early.
15:49Called it early.
15:50It's his second catch of the innings.
15:52And they're pumped up.
15:53Big wickets here for Pakistan.
15:56So, Ireland in trouble at the moment.
15:59Thompson out for 12.
16:00And it's 204 for seven.
16:02In the air and dropped.
16:07Think it was a slower ball.
16:08I think he thought it was coming back to him quickly and it just looped at him.
16:12He didn't look hungry for this.
16:14Surely when it's off your own bowling, the cross seam delivery worked.
16:17Extra bounce.
16:19Just snatched at it.
16:21Didn't look like catching it at all.
16:23That's the second caught and bowled.
16:25Put down.
16:32Ball there.
16:33That's not using the pitch much.
16:35Finally a boundary.
16:36Gets it through.
16:37Threads it between extra cover and mid off.
16:40Much needed for O'Brien and Ireland.
16:42Might be getting a new bat too.
16:44He's actually done well to first dig that Yorker out.
16:48Kevin O'Brien.
16:49See the Orish fans waving their flags.
16:52They haven't done that for a while.
16:54Been a few overs since the last boundary.
16:56But he's actually hit it into the pitch.
17:00Got enough.
17:01So he really muscled that.
17:02He's a strong man.
17:03Kevin O'Brien.
17:05See that big backswing.
17:07Hit low in the bat.
17:09Was not in the middle of the bat.
17:10But he was still big enough and powerful enough to find the boundary.
17:15Gets a short one.
17:16He hammers this one, does he?
17:17There's another catcher to drop.
17:20Seen some good catching from Pakistan throughout this innings.
17:23But an opportunity to the big hitter, Kevin O'Brien.
17:26After 47, it's 216 for seven.
17:29The fielder.
17:30Another short ball.
17:31O'Brien was waiting for it.
17:32Toe end of the bat.
17:33Carried.
17:34Definitely carried.
17:35But spilled.
17:36Could be a vital moment, that.
17:37Three overs to go.
17:38O'Brien might make them pay.
17:39You never know.
17:40Long way up.
17:41This should be taken.
17:42Mid wicket.
17:43Takes it so it doesn't hurt him.
17:44Doesn't cost him.
17:45Adil will feel a lot better.
17:46So now that we get down for Ireland.
17:47And another bounce.
17:48147 case.
17:49So genuine pace.
17:50Hitting halfway down this Adelaide pitch.
17:51Too much for Kevin O'Brien.
17:53They're going to check for the front foot.
17:54No ball.
17:55O'Brien's innings.
17:56really didn't flow whatsoever.
17:57O'Brien's innings.
17:58Really didn't flow.
17:59What so ever.
18:00Innings.
18:01Innings.
18:02Really didn't flow whatsoever.
18:03He's fine.
18:04He's got some of that back foot.
18:06Or front foot.
18:07Behind the line.
18:08Sting.
18:09So now that we get down for Ireland.
18:10And another bounce.
18:11147 case.
18:12So genuine pace.
18:13Hitting halfway down this Adelaide pitch.
18:16Too much for Kevin O'Brien.
18:19They're going to check for the front foot.
18:22No ball.
18:23But O'Brien's innings.
18:24Really didn't flow whatsoever.
18:26He's fine.
18:29He's got some of that back foot.
18:31front foot behind the line and tried to hit it get a crowd catch hitting halfway up the bat
18:39that led to the doorway to departure for kevin o'brien he's out for eight it's 216 for eight
18:47oh that's very good now has that hit the foot first
18:50pakistan have used their review i think the bowler the bowler wanted it reviewed
19:00and miss bosses hurry up i think they are a bit slow miss bar is concerned about being fined or even
19:05missing a game umpire erasmus giving it a run i'll tell you what it did look like a hit pad first
19:15or the shoe it's hurt either way don't like him swinging yorkers the high
19:20back lip is late no it's hit his bad hasn't it yeah it's close isn't it
19:26gets it past backward point that will be a boundary
19:32that's where the angle worked well for mooney sahail not getting the ball to come back into the left
19:38hander it was wide it was full and using the pace of the quick again hitting it with one hand
19:45would have been a top catch if that was taken but short boundary at adelaide oval
19:49so his first boundary mooney
19:53oh no oh that will seriously hurt he's basically ramped it into his throat
20:03good on the bowler going straight up to him i think he's all right mooney but that will hurt for a while
20:10yeah we might not see that shot again from mooney every time the batsmen try this against the quicker
20:19bowlers nasa we we keep waiting for something like this to happen this is the first time i've ever seen
20:24it happen he's going to the ramp and it's got good acceleration off the bat as well that had to have
20:30hurt so he's he's a tough man but he might be looking for a different scoring zone i think for
20:36the rest of his innings
20:40like that can he get through no finds the man at midweek and in general pakistan's catching has been
20:47good four catches for umar akmal yeah i repeat four catches for umar akmal 230 for nine
20:54he did drop one when he threw it in the air celebrating one of those four catches and it's
21:00given up the gloves the ball's still finding him he's kept low yeah right in the mix excellent catching
21:07form frustrating innings for mooney he tried really hard but uh no acceleration from him
21:13so nine wickets down now for isla it's 230 for nine oh yes good extension of the arms if in doubt just
21:23mow it over make it mid-wicket great shot wow where'd that come from dockerl hitting it in the screws
21:33and it was a length ball plenty of sixes in the tournament length and that is absolutely hammered
21:41over mid-wicket great strike yeah the first length ball they've got look at that right in the slot
21:48leg out the way body out the way great extension of the arms
21:58a long way across i think he knew what was coming he wasn't going to get length again
22:02wasn't a bad idea was it he almost got another one hitting it down to fine leg
22:11that's the wicket mooney just trying to get it over
22:15cow corner hitting low on the bat again for 54. a 3d good again 10 overs for
22:20wide of the crease and work nicely through the late side
22:25the other thing about winning this game is that whichever team is successful will be third in the group
22:32west indies will be fourth
22:38with this time and clattered away to the boundary four overs 12 without loss
22:46solidly done through the offside
22:48amir shazard waited for a ranked bad ball and put it away it's a good shot
23:04straight drive down the ground this is going to go all the way it's a long chase ball wins seven
23:10over 28 without loss
23:30lovely timing just leans on this
23:33a long way to straight boundary
23:40middle of the bat
23:50can't bowl that wide not at this pace that will be hammered for four it is hammered for four
23:56he started started cautiously amir shazard but now he's 19 of 22 short and wide
24:05under and 27 kilometers kilometers an hour you're asking for trouble on this perfect pitch
24:16another good shot wide delivery another boundary to suffer out to suffer us
24:20yeah beautiful hands
24:24hat on the back from his opening partner
24:27and they've got the crowd going as well
24:29plenty of noise
24:32lovely batting doesn't move his feet much
24:35but great hands to reach it too wide
24:41yeah with this space you can't bowl there
24:44just right in there he just had to put his bat on it
24:47mid-off is back on the boundary
24:53yeah keeper just moving him a little bit wider
24:56yeah there we go the sweep comes straight away
25:00why is it macram knows his opening batsman he likes that area first ball four
25:07and that's his favorite area against the spin bowling and he plays this beautifully perfectly
25:11and that boundary brings up the 50 for pakistan first time in this world cup 52 for 99.1
25:22beautiful shot
25:25he's moved on to the sweep now the man in the deep he was sort of trying to cover two places which you
25:29can't do on the short boundary he was sort of in between the slog sweep and the orthodox sweep he's now
25:35just gone on to the orthodox sweep and saying to safra as you can have the slog sweep if you want
25:42can't ball short not at the adelaide oval that will run away for four eight off two deliveries from dockrell
25:49yeah that's his strong zone the leg side
26:00short picked up the length perfectly no need to run for those
26:04but was there for hitting the key for she's out there was he didn't try and hit it too hard he knew
26:12it was a four ball all he had to do was find the placement and he did i think it was an arm ball
26:21yeah it was an arm ball short and wide and easy pickings look at the crowd happy excited
26:35he's got a bit of virat koly hasn't he about he looks a bit like virat he picks his bat up a
26:39little bit like virat that final little touch he puts down
26:44just around about there quick on his feet quick hands what an over this is for pakistan
26:50two good overs on the bounce now they're on the charge it's 65 for none
26:5417 runs from this over two fours then a single dot ball and then two fours
27:07using his feet perfectly through mid wicket
27:15oh and it just goes wider that slip or finer of that slip actually
27:20and they come back for two it was a chance it you know the bowler looking at the umpires if to say
27:26was that a bump ball don't think it was don't think so
27:34it was definitely a chance yeah it was miles away within second slip there
27:43yeah almost a third slip it went to second slip
27:48beautiful shot really good won't go for four just punched but this time the running should
27:53be better and they should come back for three
27:59yeah easy three what a shot from sir farraz
28:04in the air is it oh brilliant captaincy have a short mid on he's been punching it there shahzad
28:10and kevin o'brien stood there with his bucket hands and just landed short good work skipper
28:16and that's clever thinking from the irish captain
28:24then he's got mid on slightly wide
28:29it can't be out there no cover at all as in in the deep again it could be a three if they run well
28:36that's a good shot punched it towards mid wicket they probably will come back for three and very good running
28:54nothing's happening in the air nothing's happening off the pitch
29:04nice 50. well constructed innings patient to begin with and then a little more adventurous as it progressed
29:13that's a darn good cricketer suffer has kept wicket today
29:21he's now bowling coach of new zealand has that gone for four whoops
29:32i don't know that john mooney will be too happy about that he's a man who wears his heart on his sleeve
29:37along with his tattoos i was watching the pakistan batsman to see if they'd come back for a second
29:43and i've seen that one of them had stopped running i've given up that it was going to go for four
29:48so it was a nice shot the shot but one that should have been stopped from going for a boundary and even
29:54the footwork not working for mooney and safraz goes to 50 as well equally well thought through innings
30:04he'll be thinking how easy is this world cup coming off 49 against south africa making up with a 50
30:22and it's been a very fluent 50 as well with real stability at the top of the order something that
30:28hasn't been a feature of pakistan for this world cup
30:33it's very deliberate to get it up and over point
30:41and the tandem fielding didn't quite work they'll run three i think the the important thing is to get
30:46it in your head that you're there to bury the opposition
30:49it's a fish it's safe and it's a fall emma shazade has played a lovely shot because he knew exactly
31:00where to deposit it how well to hit it it was an easy shot easy execution in the end
31:05that he charges dances down the pitch muscles the ball over mid-on
31:21well that's gone up in the air mid-on is paddling back and takes a good one
31:25emma shazade has perished trying another hit over the infield miscued it completely and he's gone
31:33ed joyce is the catcher at mid-on back pedals just takes the ball over his shoulder they needed that
31:39island to give them some impetus and shazade was playing so well he's tried one big shot too many
31:46is the top of the bat head joints back pedals just outside of the 30-yard circle takes a good catch
31:55goodness they meet needed that island
32:00shazade has got himself a 50 but he's got out 63 for him 120 for one
32:08he's off the mark with a graceful shot wristy shot for two runs
32:16oh chance of a run out he's gone he surely is gone now this is bad cricket
32:25pakistan creating bit of a panic out there and harris well is not happy because his partner
32:32initially called and then went back to his trees so a wicket has gone down and irish crowds are once
32:37again a little happy pakistan not very convincing his eyes are smiling oh no he sold him down the river
32:46well that's come from absolutely nowhere a change of ball in left arm spin and this lad's livid
32:53absolutely livid harris sahail has gone for three 126 for two
32:59full delivery and it's beautifully done through the offside mid-off was a little square
33:04safraza's time this one all right and may just make the fence no it falls short
33:10but he easily runs the third one that's good batting
33:17so how good is that from safraza once again targets the mid-off area
33:23easy two runs he's rushing back for the third and makes it rather easily good bashing once again
33:29oh bang what a shot there from the skipper his first boundary
33:40yeah the gamble from ireland will bring the field up
33:42and miss bar if you want to play the big shot you can and he did
33:46just in his arc right in the slot in middle it slightly off the outside edge of the bat
33:56mid-off mid-on up that's absolutely fine
34:01and that's big that's ariel again so a six runs beautiful slog sweep over mid-on
34:08yeah he doesn't over hit miss bar we showed you his strong zone he just has that low back lift
34:16waiting for anything on a length and he sets himself beautifully great example to anyone watching
34:24about how not to overhear and he has to just go over the rope at six whether it lands in the stands or
34:30three yards back
34:35wide ball squirted away and that'll be a boundary another one from this bar he's virtually going
34:41at a runner ball playing nicely
34:48yeah nice shot pakistan fans are enjoying this not the man on screen he went for the wide yorker
34:55not quite right just a little flick of the wrist excellent timing and so short square of the wicket
35:03at the adelaide oval plenty of boundaries if you're hitting to that side through that point region
35:12he's given that a good thump yep and it's worth maximum
35:20good blow off a poor ball and it's 187 for two
35:26yeah it had to be a real ranked bad ball for miss bar to really get going but it was a good hit
35:32nevertheless because really to produce such a shot when you're looking to block and block
35:36and not change your pattern of innings it was was a good effort in the end
35:40comes away
35:50yeah quickly enough it's beaten the two of them
35:56delicate touch there from
35:58from Safraz.
36:02Yeah, the attempted off-cutter, so he had to generate a lot of pace.
36:08Safraz, and he timed it beautifully.
36:11Good chase by Thompson.
36:12He almost got to it.
36:18John Mooney, his head goes down as he hits the ground.
36:21Look, look, John Mooney's head goes down.
36:24And that's better timing.
36:28This is Mooney.
36:29And the head will stay down.
36:31Yep, it does.
36:33John Mooney feels that Islander going out of this World Cup.
36:36He's a patriotic, nationalistic man.
36:41He's given so much, as have all these Irish cricketers to this tournament.
36:45Well, he obviously doesn't have the pace to trouble Safraz with that length.
36:50It was beautifully crafted.
36:51This time a different cut shot from him.
36:53And he was down, sliding and hitting the rope.
36:59Oh, that's blistering stroke from Lisbao, who stands nice and tall and thrashes it away.
37:09Yeah, not a great ball.
37:10He doesn't have the pace, really, to bowl it there.
37:13There.
37:14A little wide outside the off-stone.
37:16Not been a great over from Thompson.
37:19Eight runs so far.
37:22The score of his bowling.
37:23Yeah, look at that one.
37:24That line just perfect for Lisbao to camp on the back foot and flayed away square.
37:30Oh, it's gone.
37:31He's gone.
37:32He's gone.
37:33Miss Borla playing on.
37:34And so Wicked at last falls.
37:35At the deep end of the game, Pakistan have lost their captain.
37:40Yeah, a victim there of a lack of purpose in the stroke.
37:41He just hit a few boundaries.
37:42It looks as if he'd found the accelerator pedal, but it was indeterminate in that difficult
37:55area, a round-off stump.
37:57Maybe trying to run a single down to third man, a bit of everything and a lot of nothing.
38:05Lisbao is done by Kusak.
38:11He made 39.
38:12It's 208 for three.
38:15Pulled straight.
38:17Mid-on was wider.
38:19This will race away to the boundary.
38:21In many ways, the most exciting stroke that we've seen from Pakistan in this innings.
38:26Just because of the flair with which it's played.
38:29Umar Ahmad has a rare talent.
38:35He was at it in a flash.
38:38Shot of a length delivery.
38:40Pulled it straight towards Mid-on.
38:46Supporters are happy.
38:48Relaxed.
38:53Another one quickly in a position and finding the gap.
38:58Umar Ahmad has arrived at the wicket and changed the complexion of the match here.
39:05Looks like he wants to rush to victory.
39:08Two boundaries in this over from Umar Ahmad.
39:12And the Pakistan flag is flying high.
39:18Same area.
39:21Mid-wicket this time.
39:24Slow delivery.
39:25Picked up beautifully.
39:29Oh, there's a big shot down the ground.
39:30Is this going all the way?
39:31No.
39:32One bounce.
39:33Into the pickets.
39:34Third boundary for Umar Ahmad.
39:39That's why he's such a dangerous player.
39:43Anything pitched up in his area, he will play this shot.
39:48Good follow-through.
39:51Well, is he going to scupper Saif Raz here?
39:54Pakistan need 11.
39:56Saif Raz just needs six for a century.
40:05Big shot this time.
40:06Gets it into the gap.
40:07This will scutter away.
40:08There it is at long last.
40:10Oh, he can celebrate now.
40:11He must have been rehearsing this for a long, long time.
40:15Well played.
40:16What a performance.
40:19And Pakistan's first 100 in this World Cup from Sir Faraz Ahmed.
40:25101 of 120.
40:2749 against South Africa.
40:31What sort of message are they trying to give it to people?
40:35Look at Misbah.
40:36He's upset and rightly so.
40:38Another dot ball.
40:40Leg spin.
40:43And that's the end of proceedings.
40:45Smashed down the ground.
40:47And Umar Akmal finishes things off for Pakistan.
40:51They've chased down this 238 to win quite comfortably.
40:55Bizarrely in the last 40, 45 minutes.
40:59But a comprehensive win for Pakistan by seven wickets.
41:06What a performance by the Pakistanis.
41:08Fourth consecutive win in this World Cup.
41:11And they qualified for the quarterfinals.
41:14They finished third in their group.
41:16The Sir Faraz, 101 of 124.
41:21Omar Akmal, 20 of 29.
41:23That's a summary of all.
41:24It's so ridiculous.
41:25That's a summary of all.
41:26It's so ridiculous.
41:27.
41:28.
