00:56money and watson's just got his grill out of the way
01:01what do you know a perfume ball damien fleming there's another short one and gets him it's
01:06the handle of the glove not secure from watson so pakistan sensed they can get the fourth wicket
01:13again that one short to the man on the onside that's where michael clark was caught
01:20he's only bowled four overs feels like he's bowled eight another one edge it'll fall in between the
01:28slips and third man it's another wind of the bowler but watson survives three for 74.
01:36how good was that what an over from wahabrias so watson a little bit ruffled at the crease at this stage

02:51i'll have to do something different that's what this level demands
02:55that's a good short ball and it's that different angle and it really makes watson
03:00uncomfortable the fact that it's just on the money every time at good pace those are the deliveries from
