00:00Hey now with Waka Yunus boarding to Robin Smith, it's six for no wicket and we're in the fourth over.

00:06That's a lovely stroke and it's six runs. Magnificent pull shot from Robin Smith, that's what England are looking for.

00:17Sensational start.

00:20Well you see here, just short of a length, plenty of time to get into the shot.

00:24It just helps it on its way around the leg and it just carries over the boundary rope.

00:30That's beaten point. That's going to go for four.

00:44Well that was a lovely cricket shot. Waka tried to fox in by a ball in a slower off spinner.

00:50He spotted it very early, didn't try to hit it too hard, just eased it through the covers.

00:56There's the off spinner, just stood there, waited, and timed it, placed it perfectly.

01:07These batsmen don't necessarily like to go over the top.

01:10So they're looking for orthodox shots like that. Very good shot. Excellent back foot.

01:22Favourite area for Robin Smith. Square of the wicket on the offside.

01:27You just can't afford to bowl there at him.

01:30How many boundaries have English viewers seen Robin Smith hit through there?

01:39Good start for England. 34 without loss.

01:43Lovely stroke. Crashed through the covers by Robin Smith.

01:48He looks in great nick.

01:50Smith asking the question with the bat. Why have I not been in the side all along?

02:00The ball screaming through the offside.

02:03Magnificent shot by Robin Smith once again.

02:14Wassim Akram coming round the wicket has got no answer for that.

02:19And there he is, quite content with that shot.

02:23And Wassim Akram coming round the wicket, pitching that shot, giving him ample room as well as the ball was right in the slot.

02:31To get out there with the captain.

02:39And that's the reason.
