Tossed up a googly that shapes back from outside off, backs away and blocks it down the floor towards the off side
Pakistan vs New Zealand, 5th T20I at Lahore, , Apr 27 2024 - Live Cricket Score
Over the wicket, drops short a legbreak just outside off, square cuts it to cover-point
Fraction shorter and zinging it back at Clarkson who lifts his front leg and warily mistimes a pull towards square leg, a big momentum shifting over
Keeping it nice and straight, he is getting some reverse as well, he is content to pat it back to Shaheen
Round again, fuller length and comes back in a shade from outside off, square driven into the covers, crowd are screaming at the top of their lungs, it's a brilliant atmosphere, another packed house!
Stumps askew! Demolishes him with a pinpoint accurate yorker from round the wicket and it's right in the blockhole, too good for thee. Two in two, Pakistan are in a strong position. He is so good at nailing those yorkers, it's a terrific option at this stage of the game. Foulkes attempted to flick that away to the leg side and imo should have just defended it with a straight bat
Backs away into the leg side and tries to crunch it up and over point, Shadab takes a sprawling catch above his head, it was a slowish back of a length ball at middle, he went for a difficult shot and it didn't come through, it hung in the air for a while as he didn't control his bat swing
That's a poor effort in the field, Saim Ayub should have been sitting deep, he came in and then had to backpedal, that is a clanger. Shrotish angled into middle, lovely pick-up shot and should have been a straightforward catch
Drags it across the line into the leg side, released a bit of pressure in this over and allows New Zealand to stay alive
eludes the backward point delivery and smashes him for a four, gets the desired result and keeps them in the hunt
Tosses up a legbreak on middle, worked around the corner in the air, lands safely
Attempts a reverse sweep, hasn't quite connected well but it beats the man behind square and he will add a couple more
Tossed up fuller outside off, not giving much air, panned down the carpet towards extra cover again
Over the wicket, tossed up fuller just outside off, invites him for a drive and he does that, beautifully driven along the carpet to deep extra cover boundary, juicy half-volley served on a plate and he accepts it gleefully
Shimmies down the leg side to access the gaps at cover, ends up bunting it back towards Imad
Over the wicket, length and angling it in his hitting arc, he obliges and tonks it over his head for a four, spun back towards him, he was in a great position to power it down the ground, not the best angle against him I reckon
Slightly shorter and swerves back from outside off, gets down low and cuts it away late towards point
Fired it quicker on a tight middle stump line, hurriedly shields his stumps with a firm block off the backfoot
Round the wicket, floated up slower on a length at middle and leg, he is cagey, can gingerly whip it to vacant short midwicket region
