19.6
Neesham to Rizwan, byes, 1 run, oh no! Rizwan is stranded on 98. The crowd cannot believe it. The Pakistan players cannot believe it. But Rizwan being Rizwan, he walks off with a smile on his face and waving his hand around to the crowd. Neesham went round the wicket and bowled a short ball, Rizwan pulls and is beaten by the extra bounce, Ashraf races across and they steal a bye as Latham misses the direct hit this time
19.5
Neesham to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, yorker length outside off, Ashraf jams it to deep backward point and brings Rizwan on strike. The whole Pakistan team are standing and waiting for Rizwan to reach his 100. Can he get it?
19.4
Neesham to Imad Wasim, out Imad Wasim Run Out!! Imad perishes for Rizwan's cause. Neesham goes round the wicket and angles it in on back of a length, Imad misses the steer and was wondering out of the crease, Latham hits the stumps and the ball ricochets away, Rizwan sees that as opportunity and calls for the single, Neesham runs to the ball and he fires a direct hit at the non-striker's end, but Imad was short when Latham hit the target which means Rizwan will not be on strike. That was a bit casual from Imad as he should have got back in the crease quicker and even though he would have been out at the other end, he at least would have got Rizwan on strike. Imad Wasim run out (Latham) 31(14) [4s-5 6s-1]
19.3
Neesham to Imad Wasim, FOUR, could Latham have gone with Shipley? Because Neesham is offering gifts here. Full toss outside off, Imad reaches and slams the loft over extra cover, couple of bounces and over the rope
19.2
Neesham to Imad Wasim, FOUR, freebie and Imad helps it along the way. Short and around the hips, Imad swivels and pulls it over backward square leg, one bounce and over the ropes
19.2
Neesham to Imad Wasim, wide, sprays the low full toss well outside off, Imad ignores and wide is signalled
19.1
Neesham to Rizwan, 1 run, charges down and toe-ends the drive straight to extra cover, just a single
16.6
Neesham to Imad Wasim, SIX, massive over, 18 runs. Imad absolutely smokes this and he enjoyed that, punch of gloves with Rizwan. Slot ball and Imad clears his front leg, swings through the line and sends it sailing over the sightscreen
16.5
Neesham to Imad Wasim, FOUR, not sure that's where Imad intended it to go but he will take the boundary. Short and outside off, he tries the upper cut but instead slices it over short third
16.4
Neesham to Rizwan, 1 run, attacks the stumps with a full pitcher, Rizwan clips it to deep mid-wicket
16.3
Neesham to Rizwan, 2 runs, full delivery on off, Rizwan flicks between deep mid-wicket and long-on, two more
16.2
Neesham to Imad Wasim, 1 run, fuller in length and Imad drills it to long-on, Shipley makes no mistake
16.1
Neesham to Imad Wasim, FOUR, poor from Shipley. Back of a length angled across, Imad belts it to long-on and Shipley makes a mess, it came straight at him and he put in a dive for no reason, allowing the ball to escape through his hands and legs
9.6
Neesham to Rizwan, no run, short ball, outside off, chopped down to the man at point
9.5
Neesham to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, short ball, gets big on the batter, Iftikhar Ahmed mistimes the pull down on to the on-side for a single. The ball went off the shoulder of the bat
9.4
Neesham to Rizwan, 1 run, length delivery, outside off, push driven down to mid-off for a single
9.3
Neesham to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, and bludgeons it to long-on. Naah! Just a push down to long-on off a length ball. Display of brains this time
9.2
Neesham to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, and whipped for a sixer! This man only has one gear. And while batting at this gear, he is unstoppable. That was a huge hit off the pads. Well over the fence and into the crowd
9.1
Neesham to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, fuller ball, down on to the pads, Iftikhar Ahmed whips the clip fine for a four. Poor ball and put away
