00:35spectacular contest thanks allison let's join them down in the middle to find out who will be
00:40fielding first
00:58probably not a bad toss to lose the decision is to bat first
01:02but i reckon having a bowl on this pitch could be the smart decision
01:04players making their way out it's a great crowd in today with plenty of atmosphere around this
01:14ground plenty of wickets on offer and runs batters and bowlers are in the game and there's some
01:19quality players in both teams so i'm expecting an even contest let's see what happens caught
01:26that's a ridiculous catch and gone that's a fantastic catch
01:46an innings that promised much and really in the end delivered
01:49very little pretty disappointing all around before that wicket the new batter comes charging
01:55out to the crease they're quick to take guard and face up doesn't beat the infield
02:25so
02:41misses everything
02:55so square cut finds point no run
03:13straight to the fielder that's the end of a truly superb over
03:17takes an important wicket and doesn't concede a run what more can you ask for now great
03:22opportunity to prove the critics wrong certainly needs to build an innings for the team
03:26brown into the attack now from the scoreboard
03:52so
04:00i dealt with that beautifully saw the short one and got out of the way
04:04no more of those in this over
04:10so
04:17brown straight through the batter was late on that one
04:31they're on fire out there at the moment a key batter gone for a duck completely beaten
04:36what a sight to see the stump sent flying
04:39new batter comes to the crease never an easy time to come into bat after the fall of a wicket
05:06so

05:26it's just a case of finding the same spot

05:37time to follow up after such a great delivery pitch it on a length is obviously the way to go
05:48it's quick onto that in the infield
05:50end of the over two runs added pakistan are two for two another good over by the bowlers
05:58bolter their field well and mix their deliveries nicely
