00:00As he has been throughout this series so far, Bavra Zamp is in again pretty early.
00:17He's a wonderful player.
00:22So far, Saki Mahmood has been a tough customer for him to deal with.
00:30Three slips now, attacking captain is Ben Stokes.
00:38The last gesture almost of resignation saying, what can you do?
00:52Some give you constant feedback, depends on the player.
00:59Did you like constant feedback?
01:01No, I didn't actually.
01:02Well, I hated them.
01:03Second time he's done that.
01:11We're just close.
01:14First game in a Yorker.
01:16Very well balled.
01:22Good from England.
01:2326 for one.
01:23Interesting to see what kind of pitch is.
01:34I don't feel that about young cricketers, that when they do get the opportunity at the highest level, at least those.
01:40Nice, Saki!
01:42Nice, Saki!
01:43Nice, Saki!
01:44Nice, Saki!
01:45Nice, Saki!

01:50Nice, Saki!
01:51Nice, Saki!
01:52Keep working!
01:53Keep working!
01:54Don't forget, don't you?
01:55Even.
01:56Oh, my God!
01:57Yeah!
01:58The massive kissing.
01:59Very good from Saki.
02:02Keeping the...
02:07Lovely.
02:08Good way to get off the mark.
02:09Overton just straying onto the pads.
02:13And Barbarazm, who's had to wait for his first runs.
02:1615 balls, it's taken him.
02:18But they've come confidently when they've arrived.
02:29We've got a good chance of being on a team.
02:33No, no!
02:34No!
02:35Yeah!
02:36No!
02:37No!
02:38No!

02:56No!
02:57No!
02:58No!
02:59Barbara hasn't you won't be happy with bleak for more of a dangerous shot
03:17For a lovely weekend that was that there's the Wimbledon and then the Euro Cup final spring and then another fab
03:24Pulled away confidently and that's his second boundary through the leg side
03:38That spotlight on football is when they take the penalty very unusual in that game isn't it unless you're a goalkeeper say for the
03:47Such an individual spotlight to fall upon a player or something cricketers just
03:52Take for granted ball in hand bat in hand you are absolute
04:00Well, you'll get into double figures with this flick
04:08First one I I remember so well I was a boy of 13
04:12Try and find it epic
04:22Option two more
04:27Good
04:27Good
04:28What?
04:35Good
04:35Good
04:36Good
04:37Good
04:37Good
04:38Good
04:38Good
04:38Good
04:39Good
04:39Good
04:39Encouraging the drive from Barbara zam. It's just aerial for a little
04:52Worked away leg side Barbara zam as he has shifted his weight on towards off stump
05:06He got a hundred
05:08Oh tight if he hits oh, I think he was struggling
05:17Smithy had a sound system with a couple
05:25Barblicks
05:27Gorgeous shot
05:39That certainly came out the middle of the back
05:4250 partnership comes up in style
05:45I'm just slightly overpitched outside off stump confidence of a player to get on to the front
05:55Pleasantly through extra cover
06:01Get me something on this bitch, it's a stack of runs
06:06Oh, ouch bit of extra bounce
06:12Is it Barbara zam a midship?
06:14We get hit
06:22Now
06:23Come on
06:24Come it way good
06:25Guys
06:25Come on
06:26Who you play?
06:27Come on
06:28Who you play?
06:29Should be that blood lights will take a while
06:30Who are you play?
06:31Used to be that blood lights would take a while. Whipped away and placed.
06:47Black batted hard. Really hard. Great shot. Long way in front of square.
06:51I'm going to tell you again this is a belger of the pitch. Super shot.
07:21On into the attack.
07:37They come down. Bill salt is that man at extra cover.
07:43You can see with the.
07:52That's my blood.
07:55I think they had a lad from Sussex who.
07:58Then more now you mean.
08:01Yeah absolutely see.
08:09I've come back for a second yeah.
08:11It's beaten it off.
08:21It was thrashed.
08:23By Barbarazin but mid off is in the circle.
08:25And just for a moment.
08:27Harvard hopes of getting across.
08:28Now just for a second.
08:29He skimmed this about head height.
08:31And Ben Stokes himself is at mid off.
08:34Normally you do the opposite.
08:35Normally you'd have mid on would be up.
08:36He'd be up in the circle.
08:37So you want him to hit.
08:38Against the spin.
08:39Oh the.
08:40So good.
08:41That.
08:42Stokes is back now on the boundary.
08:43After that.
08:44Four.
08:45So.
08:46Stokes is back now on the boundary after that four, so an ease.
09:07Apart from that, he's looked very assured.
09:10He'd say, more slowly, that one being a classic example.
09:2649.
09:27There we go.
09:38Huge cheers from the Pakistan contingent in this ground.
09:42Their captain has got through to a half century.
09:45That's the thing about great players, they never stay out of form for long.
09:54Couple of tough games, and now his 18th ODI 50.
10:02Here's Barkey, here's Barkey.
10:04And it's Gregory into the attack.
10:11Smashed away, Luxor, all the way for six, that sounded sweet.
10:16Beautiful shot, the real key here, Wardies.
10:20He picked up the change of pace.
10:22So, so early.
10:23And this Gregory, just that off-cutter, changed his grip, Barbaras.
10:28I'm sorry, he saw it a couple of times in the previous over as well.
10:33Just.
10:34so, so early.
10:42This Gregory just that off-cutter changed his grave.
10:46Babur Assam saw it. He saw it a couple of times in the previous over as well.
10:52Just smacks it with contempt.
10:56Well in front of mid-micket.
11:04The catalyst has been Mohamed Rizwan.
11:10That is a glorious shot.
11:15From Babur Assam who is just starting to find his groove.
11:23I was waiting for this body. When is he going to do it?
11:26Mid-off, up, the Sri Lankan game.
11:28Nasa had a little package of Vanidu Hasaranga maneuvering the field,
11:32manipulating lines.
11:36Immediately forces Parkinson to go down leg side.
11:39Mid-off has been back.
11:4547 for two after...
11:55Just got enough and he got it in the gap too.
11:57It's not come out the middle of the bat.
11:59running away quickly.
12:02The Ritenkast as well to retreat.
12:07Hit hard.
12:14Was for Barbara Assam.
12:22We've got to get all of it.
12:24Come on, Matthew. Come on, Matthew.
12:25Come on, Matthew.
12:26Come on, Matthew.
12:27Come on, Matthew.
12:28Come on, Matthew.
12:29Come on, Matthew.
12:30Come on, Matthew.
12:31Come on, Matthew.
12:32Come on, Matthew.
12:34Hammered.
12:36Absolutely smashed into the leg side.
12:39That really is a shot of real authority.
12:42Again, Barbara Assam has been picking all variations from Gergri.
12:45And he's stuck to a very predictable plan.
12:54Better of the quality of Barbara Assam.
12:57Can't really fool him with that.
13:00I understand, Wardy, that they're trying to mix it up.
13:02You know, ball a slower ball.
13:03But he faint working.
13:08Gotta change.
13:12Teams from the subcontinent.
13:15Over the last few years.
13:19There's a statement.
13:20Stokes is in that position.
13:21Loitering.
13:23Sailed over his head.
13:24And they're gonna check whether that's six or four.
13:26That's a powerful shot again.
13:27This is, this is great proactive batting.
13:32A few singles.
13:34Look for a boundary.
13:36Stokes not changing the field.
13:39Do it again if he can.
13:43Beautifully executed.
13:55Cast now.
13:57Pavilion end.
14:01Oh, I thought that.
14:05Oh, good run.
14:20Pure timing.
14:21Placement.
14:22Excellent.
14:23Good fielding as well.
14:24Again, excellent timing.
14:27So often that.
14:33Cut shot again.
14:34Overton busy again.
14:39Can't beat.
14:43Again, short.
14:44Four.
14:45Again, excellent batting.
14:46The placement is perfect.
14:48Car's not quite at his best shot.
14:49But Barbarazm definitely at his best.
14:50Pulling it in front of square.
14:51Being the key.
14:52And finding the gap.
14:53Which he has done really well.
14:54Throughout his innings.
14:55Back cut.
14:56Back cut.
14:57Beats deep cover.
14:58Beats third man.
14:59What a fantastic hundred that has been.
15:01From Barbarazm.
15:02There's not many that make batting look as easy as what he has done today.
15:04He's fourth and no more.
15:06He's fourth and no more.
15:07At the other side.
15:08But he has done five more than a half.
15:09Wow!
15:10Well, we've got a good score.
15:11We've got a good score.
15:12We've got a good score.
15:13Here we go.
15:14Are you ready?
15:15Well, I'm ready.
15:16Back cut, beats deep cover, beats third man, what a fantastic hundred that has been from
15:26Barbara Azum, there's not many that make batting look as easy as what he has done today, his
15:3314th ODI Sentry.
15:46At the start he was taking his time, it literally took him 15 balls to get his first run, and
15:59after that he's not looked back.
16:01Some of the shots that he's played has been an absolute treat to watch, he's been a quality
16:06player for Pakistan over a period of time now, and undoubtedly the number one batsman in
16:10the world right now, but the composure, the shots and-
16:16You can see how much that meant to him, he's been under pressure a little bit for him,
16:32all the emotions coming out in that one shot.
16:46See I always like shots like that because they just play it so late.
17:07Chance of a run out if he hits.
17:14Out into the leg side, sounded like the bottom of the bat.
17:29Barber Azum making use of the field, knows this is a 1st over, the last opportunity for
17:42him to have 5 fielders in the 30 yards, going over mid-off with this one.
17:47Hacks it a bit, something that Rodkey was just talking about, but this-
17:51Yeah, you're absolutely right, it's got to be short with this field.
18:12I don't think that's a bad length actually, if you go too short, good running.
18:17You go-
18:19Is that going to race away long off, can't get there, excellent over in the end for Pakistan.
18:35248 for two.
18:36248 for two.
18:38248 for two.
18:51Not stopping there.
18:52Tell you what, that has been such a strong shot for him today.
18:56The bowlers have dropped correctionally short, he's been quick onto the stroke, he's hit it
19:04really well.
19:05It's come right out of the middle.
19:19Will annoy each other these two, Craig Overton and.
19:26Another slow delivery.
19:32Yes!
19:33Oh, down nearly!
19:35It was quite a good effort on him.
19:39Go Paki, go Paki!
19:41He's got this, he's got this, all the way into the crowd, six.
19:51Fantastic, floated up by Parkinson.
19:55He's motored on to 133 now, the Pakistan captain.
20:02And this is amongst his best shots.
20:05Beautiful swing of the bat, through the ball.
20:10Fantastic.
20:12And you mentioned, floated up, it's 45 pounds an hour, so he's got ample time to get down
20:21the pitch.
20:22Give it the treatment.
20:25Oh!
20:26So 13 from the over, 272.
20:31Last over for Overton, this should be taken.
20:35Oh, it's gone!
20:36My goodness me.
20:37Look for two.
20:38I think it's just a single.
20:39At the before.
20:40Doesn't come out to the over.
20:41Unscared.
20:4212 from it.
20:43284 for two.
20:44More time for a bit of music.
21:05Listen to this.
21:07Everyone's a winner.
21:12Winner
21:15You know hot chocolate
21:18In the slot wasn't it first balls a decent Yorker
21:22Brighton cars. He was looking for the Yorker again, but
21:26Missed his length that allowed Babar hasn't to get under the ball
21:30He has just nailed this over long on
21:34It's a record partnership
21:36But any wicket against England in ODI cricket this between Baba and Rizwan
21:42I
22:03It's like this time so it's only a single
22:12Still there Baba Rizwan
22:14He's on 150
22:18This has been
22:20Fabulous
22:22I mean into the game shorter runs bit of a nervy time at the start 14 balls to get off the mark
22:29Totally dominant since
