03:10foreign
03:38Sanjay Manjur Karne, who has a good stroke on the lose-gain and has a good score with this 4-7, a good score of 82.
03:47A very good stroke to Manjur Karne.
03:51Khaadir's side is the back drive.
03:58Very well fielded by Vaseem Akram to his own bowling.
04:01That would have been runs for Manjur Karne.
04:03He plays that shot so well.
04:05The straight drive to Polo's back drive.
04:08Let's take a look at that again.

05:26Down the leg side.
05:27No, he didn't anticipate that.
