00:00so Morgan who will lead out the England champions side Akash Chopra joins me in
00:07commentary they look two decent sides head-to-head thank you Dominic yes two
00:13decent sides of course England last season were really underwhelming one
00:18only one game out of the pipe finished at the bottom of the table but this
00:22English team looks very very promising still Moeen Ali is missing Samit Patel
00:28is likely to join the team as well Ravi Bhopar I might be in the mix soon so
00:34cook Bell wins mustard Ambrose and as you rightly mentioned a lot of fast bowling
00:38options and blanket tremlet ask her in a side bottom Pakistan champions on the
00:44other side a little bit of swing but enough of all that again that's
00:50something when you get a little bit older Akash you don't unless he's had it move
00:56because he thought he might hit it towards it
00:59now we batters are a little finicky high in the air now then Mascarena says mine is
01:08he gonna get anywhere near it it gets half a hand on it that's where he got caught
01:14last year James Vince is not gonna catch that that has gone all the way first six of the
01:20tournaments they were checking if he was spot in the stands Nick he's not a Nick
01:31sounded like a Nick James Treadwell says not interested but they can't bowl that just open up the face this will run away for a boundary
01:45on the onside man that third man is up Sharjil high again now then Ian Bell do you
01:59want this one it's gone high what a catch serious catch doth is his cat to the
02:06holly stands and England have their first
02:12meek I'll get Sharjil Dimitri Mascarena's wasn't able to hold on to one but this
02:20time a catch for the keeps as you get it over the top it doesn't Alistair cook who
02:30is right on the edge took a decent catch in the end Cameron at Moe comes and
02:37goes England have their second
02:43two we gets into a world but it was meek are a good catch at the deep by Ian Bell
02:49and now is the turn of Alistair cook is
02:56finds the outside edge and that'll fly before well you don't really have a third
03:02man in that very fight
03:08gonna get four more
03:11a decent shot than Liam Plunkett wants a change in the field the rather the slower
03:17pace as such as a quick single oh there's a mix up and we've got wicked
03:21number three England pick up wicket number three here run out
03:27as I think it's Umar Amin who has to make his way back to the
03:34nice looking stroke they're not even looking they're not looking for the second they should
03:40in fact Hafiz oh no we could have a second one this time Hafiz is gone
03:45blanket has dropped the ball a fee but they certainly cut that down and this
03:51time they've got him he's gone for the attacking option and ends up edging the
03:57ball straight through to mustard it takes a rather easy catch wicket number four for
04:04England
04:08a nervous prod
04:11showed mullet
04:14and before just a bit too much wet from mascarinas
04:21oh he's threaded this through
04:28trend look watched it go past him it was going at a rate of knots but it's four
04:33bases himself now in america now phil mustard doesn't get a hand on it runs away for a boundary
04:43he finishes the 11th over pakistan 66 at four
04:51the good game or or match them this is in the air this is going out of the park and pakistan
04:58needed their death
05:00little nick first ball he's always a sort of person who could get that bounce because of the height that
05:06he falls from and asif ali departs well this hybrid pitch is uh producing some extra kick extra bounce
05:19asif ali once again wanted to heave that on the onside trimlet a tall man getting that extra kick off the surface
05:26got the edge and uh back first place edge and gone that was the reason why he wasn't got picked in the
05:36first 11 he's gone now yeah and mascarinas who got a very good 2020 record for hampshire also represented
05:46in england
05:50fine right inside bottom can't get it he's a little bit stiff
05:58that's that gap that is a free shot and that'll go away for back to back boundaries so a little bit of
06:04momentum building and it's the pakistan that's what pakistan have got to think and that's why
06:10hafiz is on the march now this will be three boundaries on the row hafiz is closing in on a half century
06:19100 up for pakistan 50 and over it's gone it's 102 for six
06:30that is some amazing blow struck
06:32yeah yes 50 up for hafiz a very very important and a crucial lock they needed him to stay there
06:43and he did that applause all around very important knock for him
06:51oh that has been absolutely hammered to the offside for yet another boundary liam plunkett
07:03straight away raising his hand ease my trip in his day that's gone straight up caught and bowled
07:12hafiz is not moving for the moment what's happening here he is now i think he was a bit surprised he
07:24was looking at the leg empire for the height but i don't think there's going to be any issue with that
07:28that was terrific delivery yeah brilliantly bold
07:42that's a nice change up from stuart maker a slower delivery very good change of
07:47got a bit big on him slightly short there might be an opportunity
07:51maybe five years earlier he would have got there a bit sloppy but still a couple of runs seven of the
08:00over 18 gone 128 for seven
08:06oh he gets it this sancho health and wheel and his favorite area as well over mid wicket
08:11pumps one for a sec it was there to be taken in the and this one he pumps over the bowler's head but
08:18straight to the fielder oin morgan the skipper doesn't make any mistake they needed show health
08:25and we to face the next four or five deliveries but tremblet going for the yorker
08:32and a big wicket again yeah it's well bowled the fuller length and he's hit it
08:40and he probably is going to get a wicket maybe
08:43oh just over the fielder again in the slot and this is a lot longer than the previous one
08:53and 150 again result pretty much the same the third six of the first four deliveries
09:02bowled by james vince and it was a big call for them to give him the final over of this inning
09:07he went for another big one but this time straight to the fielder james vince picks up his first but
09:14not before giving 22 runs in this over 160 for pakistan champions with the loss of nine wicket
09:22something for the bowlers to bowl at still don't think that's enough on a very very good batting surface
09:28bowl in championship cricket so we are uh halfway in match one of the dugasta properties wcl
09:40world championship of legends 2025 and it will be england who will be trying to knock off 161 to win this opening game
09:51koki that last over might be a little costly for england they were going quite smoothly
10:06you just see how deep cameron plenty of experience this one just died this is the first time we seeing
10:15that the ball nice little work to leg side that was nearly outside of stump one two three one of three
10:28in the pakistani team starts off with a wide
10:35just ball put him wide this would have been in a perfect place for a fielder to be there because
10:42all the batters are aiming is is just going with the getting giddy get that gets it through
10:48lets it pass that extra cover and phil mustard has a second boundary in the over
11:00he still can't get off the mark now maybe oh he wasn't backing up then he turned his back
11:06wholehearted fast bowler runs in very square on big
11:17oh gets it through a little bit of late swing that it actually came right into the middle of phil
11:24mustard's bat
11:28oh what a shot does he get it over the top he does alistair cook you go
11:32go nearly go to bound outside the line outside the line all direct hit but they're not looking for
11:42any more i think that'll be okay as well
11:48pulled away that is a good looking shot by phil mustard to finish the over off
11:53four gone 28 without loss
12:08again to that leg side it's his favorite shot this is such a quick outfield brilliant fielding
12:13that is sensational fielding
12:18ball followed straight
12:22sir alistair cook done with pace and pakistan have their first
12:28yeah last delivery of the third over from ruman race just a perfect yoker
12:33up there full length right in the stumps and and i think alistair cook missed the full toss it wasn't
12:41a yorker even a reverse sweep comes in an opportunity just over the fielder a shot
12:49third choice choice danveer absolutely no a bit of turn played it beautifully waited on it
12:56and found the gap to perfection started off with the boundary
13:02you don't expect anything less from him it's because wcla has got a legends in this league and
13:09we are going to be legend very soon in the property development
13:16subtle variations such a craft
13:19and it's not dismantle the stumps for england
13:27by amir yamin that's amir yamin but james
13:3418 50s and 100 that needs to be hit straight past the background for james vince
13:42oh dear it's leg buys or yes it is it is
13:46i think the option was it wasn't but at the end
13:58towards that next side
14:02a good fielding and we keep talking about the required and a big just a single straight to the fielder
14:09well i mean morgan would have wouldn't have played
14:18yeah you mentioned
14:23power down through the two fielders so oh 76 15
14:26the bowlers the last hit the ball through the offside should come out on top
14:38what a shot that is i mean
14:40and uh people here in birmingham

15:09former cricket you play in whether it's master
15:15ability to get those yorkers in beautifully
