00:27Welcome to everyone to the
00:29Dubai International Cricket Stadium for match number four of the 2017 HBL PSL Islamabad taking on Lahore.
00:42Hanson, that's the first boundary of the innings from Sam Billings, 13 for nowhere.
00:53And that's why the ball is angled into the batsman.
00:59And swings in or scenes in even though it's quite unique for many reasons that bowling action.
01:14That's tough on the bowler. It's a Yorker really but it's got the inside bottom edge of the bat and
01:21it's gone for four.
01:25Yeah, we thought it was going to go in that direction, he took pace off it but Smith just stored
01:30his power momentarily and that was long enough to be able to lock it down the ground.
01:40He's clattered himself into the grill of his helmet.
01:47In awkward areas but this was awkward for himself.
01:52Hit him on the head and headed it home.
01:58Sitting in there watching his teammates out in the middle.
02:02Smith and Billings.
02:06Oh, a thick edge.
02:08Get a race away here.
02:10Oh, too easy.
02:19And that is sweet again.
02:21Couple of bounces behind deep backwards square for Billings.
02:25He's on the roll.
02:33That's a drive.
02:38Fifties race for Islamabad.
02:41Here comes the truck.
02:46The commentary position.
02:48It's just glorious to be out there and feel the nature, feel the buzz, feel the stroke play.
02:54That's gone for four I think.
02:59Oh, that's gone.
03:02Magnificent six.
03:03Big shot.
03:04This time connected beautifully by Billings.
03:07And I'll tell you what, the ground staff, they've bought in the boundary.
03:12Here in Dubai and it's in the slot.
03:14He doesn't miss it this time.
03:16Billings, he gives it a bit of Billings boon-boon.
03:19All the way.
03:23Ball in.
03:25Trying the dinky shot.
03:27Not working.
03:29After scoring 37.
03:30It was a good innings.
03:32Islamabad.
03:3273 for one.
03:34This is how he was dismissed Castle.
03:37Yeah, making room, extra bit of room.
03:40Off the first delivery of a new baller.
03:42He's floating with wrist.
03:45Yeah, you can see why he's furious.
03:47Yeah, it says at everything, doesn't it?
03:50There's another!
03:52Both openers are out of here!
03:54Courtesy of Grant Elliott out of Joburg in New Zealand.
03:59Brilliant.
04:00Gloucester loved it too.
04:02Sideline.
04:03Was he not so with his mate Tosi Farming.
04:07In the open.
04:10Yeah, top of league stuff again.
04:12Little bit of off cut.
04:13Just enough.
04:15Little hint of it.
04:16Seema.
04:17Yeah, nip back.
04:18Good stuff from Grant Elliott.
04:21Gotcha!
04:22And there's another nice little sweep there.
04:24But, oh, now, we'll take it.
04:27Thank you very much.
04:29Overrun it.
04:30The sweep shot from Misbah.
04:33And it's going to spin what most of us have done.
04:37It's overrun the ball and it always tends to miss you.
04:46Missbah is strong down the ground.
04:48That's his air.
04:49He loves going down the ground.
04:51The spinners and the medium faces.
04:53He likes going downtown.
04:56Enough length to get underneath that a little bit.
05:01But he muscles it down the ground.
05:06That might be gone.
05:08It is.
05:09Grant Elliott takes his third wicket.
05:11And he's one of those bowlers that nips in.
05:15Elliott with a seam-up delivery and just maybe shaped away.
05:20A little early.
05:21Brad Haddon.
05:22Yeah, so Shah taking it comfortably.
05:23But this is what he does.
05:25Mixes it up so much that it's difficult to predict.
05:31This stage of my career.
05:33That's a flick.
05:35And that's gone all the way, has it?
05:39Magnificent.
05:40I mean, you know that Misbah can play a shot like this.
05:44How nice is this?
05:46Sits deep in the crease.
05:47He's weight in his back.
05:48But it was...
05:48The movement, his wrist move through the floor.
05:51Just so strong.
05:54One of his favourite areas.
05:56That little flick, as you say, Remy's.
06:01That's not a good line.
06:03Sarice has just been taking a bit here.
06:05Grant Elliott.
06:07And can get him unnerved.
06:09So this is exactly what is happening.
06:11Trying to limit his access through the offside.
06:14Ball a long line.
06:15The Yorker length was not that bad.
06:17It's just the direction that went Teewa.
06:25That's slapped and gone.
06:27Shane Watson perishes.
06:29Umaradwell made it look easy.
06:33He certainly do.
06:35He's kept things really simple.
06:36Right at the start of his spell, he was getting good little movement on the deck, particularly
06:40into the right-handers.
06:44Oh, here we go.
06:46And there we go.
06:47Elliott's in the thick of it.
06:48You can't keep him out of the game.
06:51Wickets and now catches.
06:55Just the wrong angle because he's set up to be perished.
07:06Last ball and Mispa says I better fat this one to finish off things in the 17.
07:12Nine off in the wicket.
07:14It's 124 for five.
07:22Yeah, something to learn from Mispaul Haak, especially some of the younger batsmen.
07:26How to hit a six straight down the ground.
07:28That's a good choice.
07:33Last ball.
07:35And it's disappeared, has it?
07:37Right here, hang on.
07:40Yes, it has.
07:43Jason Roy with a valid effort to no avail.
07:47Mispa and the misses is happy as well.
07:51But why wouldn't you when he's striking the ball like this at the moment?
07:5343 from just 27 deliveries.
07:56Strike rate of just a little under 160.
08:00Jason Roy thought he was in with a big show for a while.
08:07Oh, Johnny Hastings, you beauty.
08:10Midwick a camera specialist.
08:11Look at that.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:17And yeah.
08:20What a way to bring up a half century for the skipper.
08:24First ever for him.
08:25Slick, sick oil.
08:27The truck is in town for Mispaul Haak.
08:33With this delivery, but he missed out there, did Mohamed Afan Jr.
08:38And if you're slightly off, well, I'm sorry.
08:39That's what happens.
08:43That's what happens.
08:43Batters will devour those.
08:46Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
08:49Up against Mispa.
08:51Who gives it some Humpty or what?
08:54What a little flick of that bottom hand.
08:56And a bit of blub blub from his mate.
09:01Wakes back here.
09:03And Gonski.
09:05Yeah, good catch.
09:07Roy out there.
09:09And your best fielders out on the boundary.
09:13Too many fielders outside the inner circle.
09:15No ball.
09:16And now we've seen the return crease.
09:20No ball.
09:23Downtown.
09:26And out.
09:28So no runs off the last delivery.
09:31Another wicket.
09:33Is Lamabad United.
09:35So we're going to be happy with 1.58 for 7 at their turn of ban.
09:41rek.
09:46Ranglalalala.
09:52Ranglalala.
09:54Ranglalala.
09:55Ranglalala.
09:55Ranglalala.
09:56Ranglalala.
09:56Ranglalala.
09:56Ranglalala.
09:56Ranglalala.
09:56Ranglalala.
09:58Ranglalala.
09:59Ian Bishop is looking perplexed.
10:01That's four.
10:02Just dragging it down.
10:04His first two deliveries he's bowled with,
10:07well, he hasn't bowled with any sort of trajectory at all.
10:10maybe it's because it's a brand new ball and his fingers haven't got a good
10:13purchase on it yet
10:19gone over mid on it's exactly how you'd expect both of these players to play
10:26the open just go straight away and Baz McCollum here just gets it over mid on
10:34gets the boundary and they're off and running again
10:41well it's an experiment that is failed six off the last ball and the first over
10:48from Khalid is called 17. Follow Baz McCollum but too short and with that big
10:54badge with that bad speed it's always going to disappear easily over the rope
11:0117 in five balls
11:06here we go again it's a full toss this time and four more so that's a wretched start
11:12for Islamabad 21 from the opening bowler Imran Khalid
11:20McCollum on the charge straight down the pitch of the bowler and the ball over
11:26middle it's four more
11:32four more
11:36with Jason Roy hits through the line and can let's know the boundary
11:43I don't think he's got enough on this or he might well have goodness he has
11:53this ball seemed to be up in the air for a long time now has it gone directly into the
11:59boundary cushions if it has it's six
12:04thirty six for no wicket after two
12:06Ramon Reis is the left arm bowler is on and now has he got enough on this
12:13well would have been one heck of a catch
12:17not got all of it but what an effort full tilt
12:22full dive out stretching his hands very unlucky not to cut that would have been a
12:27brilliant brilliant catch
12:30you're looking at extra long off oh my goodness pitch it a little bit short
12:35straight down the throat deep square
12:45the short ball working again
12:47there's been a lot pitched up but this one short didn't get all of it and a very comfortable catch
12:55maybe he's not seen enough of this short ball in this short stint from united
13:05top edge is it safe no it's not
13:08it's very well balled by Mohamed Sami he was at Zaman and he had him in his sights
13:18Umar Akmal in but this was the end of Zaman
13:25tried to play it next side but it was just tied up just handcuffed a little bit there
13:38that one's through and timed exceptionally well
13:42a little flat a little wide the treatment
13:48hitting it down on the ground it's a lovely exhibition of how to play a cut shot
13:55in his next over
13:58that's beautifully played yeah it's going to pick up another boundary so two boundaries
14:03coming off the last three deliveries of shadows over 11 from it 61 for two
14:11here he goes again top edge and it just gets past the short third and it will race away
14:16i think it's pretty good at it
14:23there that's been dealt with too got what it deserved
14:30that's hit very well making up for lost time
14:33now the hundred comes up
14:43going back back into the crease and smoked it
14:56nice shot lovely lovely pull shot looks very very good touch looks in good touch roy
15:05just easy little swivel pull and it's raised away always under control didn't try to hit it too hard
15:13just timed it to the fence
15:24and Watson creates the magic that they so desperately needed that Islamabad United Sam Billings takes the catch
15:35Watson again with that short picture that bouncer working wonders in this PSL for him
15:44looking around and Billings under it so they knew he wasn't going to drop that
15:54oh that's gone what a strike is that that is brilliant and that's good that is caught catcher
16:03all he is part of the celebrations
16:06what a way to bring up your 50 as well tracking six
16:14but have a look at this great footwork the first time really we've seen him coming out of the crease
16:19he's swept so much today reverse sweeping traditional sweeping but now he's gone no
16:25a little salute to the dugout
16:32in the air safe is it
16:35it is catch caught
16:37not simply takes a good catch
16:40this is what the united needed
16:45yeah i didn't control the sweep shot has picked up very nicely yes nice safe pair of hands
16:56love spidey cam
17:00it's gone up in there and that's clear the fence
17:04monster hit three sixes in the last rings also that goes pretty effortless from the left-hander
17:12he's opening the baby owls open the bowling he's open the batting
17:18that is as good as it gets delightful
17:24that's his go-to area if you followed in the last little bit
17:28there it's full or short you go through that mid-wicket area
17:37it's gone over the infield
17:39may just find the fence that's well connected
17:42beautifully tied by the left-hander six and a four
17:46just releases the pressure
17:49there he goes again
17:53another massive hit from sunila line
