00:27Yeah, well, I haven't seen them both in a while.
00:29He's usually coming for the ballers, especially the fast ballers on this pitch.
00:36First time around, goes for the pull shot and gets his first boundary.
00:42Just to make his test debut against South Africa in the UAE.
00:48And that's a beautiful shot, slightly overpitched and wonderfully played.
00:59Use of the feet.
01:03Aspired so far.
01:05So, the reverse.
01:08Now, that's good to see.
01:09And that's going to go the distance, I think, quite comfortably.
01:12He's prepared to take him on.
01:14He's prepared to take three runs on the board.
01:18That's a poor delivery.
01:22Just helping the ball in its way.
01:27Trying to put the baller off from his threatening line of length.
01:32Employs reverse sweep and plays it effectively.
01:37On the back foot, catch it is the call.
01:40An appeal and he's gone.
01:42Been given that Keplow, tucked it around the court.
01:50He's got away with it.
01:51I'm not so sure that he was in full control of it.
01:55Get up as much, stays low and sometimes surprises the batsman on this occasion with outside Ostap.
02:04He's in his favorite area and he picks up four.
02:08That's a good one that surprises the batsman with the bounce.
02:13On top of that, what a lovely looking shot that from the bat of Imril Kais.
02:19Classic shot.
02:21Doof.
02:23Well, I always thought.
02:26As the batsman sweeps the ball for four runs.
02:30Good play for this format.
02:32Arthur, nice shot.
02:35So it's important for him that he likes to convert those starts into big ones.
02:42That's Imril Kais, 50 second in his career.
02:47It's been a patient knock.
02:53And it has been a good one for him versus Pakistan.
03:00Etched and taken.
03:03Right after scoring his second 50.
03:06Shutting the face of the bat a bit early.
03:08Managed to pick up a couple of wickets.
03:09You never know.
03:11They might restrict them in a low total.
03:14Down the track.
03:15Lovely use of the feet.
03:16Four more.
03:17Oh, man.
03:18In a very good form.
03:20Mahmoudoula Riyad.
03:25Beautiful use of his feet.
03:27And I was urging him to take time to settle in.
03:30But the most efficient way of getting a ball to the other end.
03:38Oh, he's put it down.
03:41Well, it wasn't a bump ball, was it?
03:43I think he's hit it straight back to him.
03:46Yeah, I must say, anybody who says that a spinner can't use up too much energy bowling,
03:50they just need to watch this man.
03:51But that, unfortunately, is another chance that's gone down.
03:56And probably the most straightforward of all of them.
03:59And also because...
04:07That's called commentator's curse.
04:10Yeah, Neil.
04:18Definitely...
04:21Poor.
04:22Poor fielding, I think.
04:24I'm afraid.
04:26It's a poor shot.
04:28It's another...
04:30And maybe the googly once in a while.
04:35Little bit of turn.
04:37Mahmoudoula very nicely behind that.
04:39Plays it away.
04:40A lot of power.
04:41And the ball's going to go.
04:42Racing into the fence.
04:43Didn't seem to look as...
04:45Done well in the one-day format, as we all know.
04:50Well, that was...
04:52Played rather...
04:53I think, lethargically.
04:55It didn't seem to be very committed.
04:57Lazy-looking shot.
04:58But yielded the...
04:59With Sakib and Mushvik to come in next.
05:04Opening the face of the bat.
05:06Using the pace of the ball.
05:08And guiding it so nicely.
05:10So delicately.
05:12Effortless shot there.
05:13You see, just playing at the last moment.
05:15Just...
05:16As I said, opening the face and...
05:19He knew exactly what angle to play.
05:27Yusuf Afif gives him the charge.
05:29Doesn't time it properly.
05:30Still gets it past the fielder for four runs.
05:32That was on the cards.
05:34You could see that Mahmoudullah was set.
05:36In...
05:41Good shot.
05:44Faulted in length on that occasion.
05:46Zulfkar Baba.
05:48And he...
05:49Floyd.
05:50Aged and taken.
05:53What a brilliant catch.
05:55From Safraaz.
05:57Behind the sumps.
05:58That ball was travelling.
06:01Good delivery.
06:02Good result for Pakistan.
06:04They've been working hard.
06:05The catch was really grinding them into the ground.
06:12Reverse sweep.
06:15He was not bothered whether it was a googly or a leg spinner or a flipper.
06:29Any bat.
06:37That's gone.
06:38That's gone through in the wicket area.
06:46Too close to cut.
06:47Gets away with it.
06:48In the end, it's a good shot.
06:50To get a...
06:51Right with that.
06:52But it was...
06:53Well, it was short enough.
06:54That was the point.
06:59Take that.
07:00Another one.
07:02No.
07:08Too short.
07:10Very, very well put away.
07:12It's against Pakistan.
07:15Oh, that looks close.
07:17Really close given.
07:22Well, he wants to refer it.
07:25All his instincts telling him to refer it.
07:27But it looked absolutely plum.
07:30I think Shakib is maybe telling him that as well.
07:34I'd love to spare you, my friend.
07:36I'd love to recommend it.
07:38Or if they have.
07:39Okay, they have.
07:40They've gone for it.
07:41And I think that is based on the level of disappointment felt by Shakib and Mominal here.
07:49Could it possibly have pitched outside leg stump?
07:52That's the only thing that could maybe save him.
07:53But even I'm clutching at straws.
08:01It's hitting two-thirds of the way up middle stump, is it?
08:05That's Flam.
08:08It's the turn that did him.
08:10Just a late turn.
08:13Coming back into the left-hander.
08:16I reckon he has to go back to the pavilion.
08:22Checking for an inside edge.
08:24And that's not going to save him either.
08:26Well, I think, ladies and gentlemen, that's about as out as you'll see.
08:30The left arm spinner.
08:31And beautifully bowled, in fairness.
08:34Beautifully bowled.
08:36Round the wicket.
08:37He's pitched it on middle and off.
08:41And turned it.
08:42Look at that.
08:42Beautifully bowled.
08:45Absolutely wonderful piece of flight and spin combined.
08:54I don't know what Nigel Long said there, but it looked like something like,
08:57I think you'll find I got that one right.
09:02Well, he played his part, but he'll be very, very disappointed.
09:07Mominal Haka, bowled.
09:09Beg your pardon.
09:11A jet leg before wicket.
09:14480.
09:15Right at the end of the day's play.
09:18In this session now, second wicket falling.
09:21And Pakistan would be very, very happy to see the back of Mominal.
09:25And Pakistan would be very, very happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very
09:25happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very happy to see the back of
09:25Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to
09:25be very happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very happy to see the
09:25back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm
09:25going to be very happy to see the back of Mominal Haka, and I'm going to be very happy to
09:25see the back of Mominal Haka.
