Shoaib Malik0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
HH Pandya1-0-10-1
RA Jadeja3-0-12-0
11.6
Pandya to Umar Akmal, 5 runs, good length outside off, dabbed with soft hands towards backward point and they run a quick single, Jadeja comes sprinting in and hits the stumps at the batsman's end direct! But the ball ricochets off the stumps and goes to the midwicket boundary! The batsman is safe and Pakistan get some valuable runs.
 

Krutik: "Afridi must be licking his lips looking at the turn. Imagine him bowling those 110kmph Thunder bolts and turning them as well." Slowing it up may be the key here.

Shoaib Malik is the new batsman.

 
11.5
Pandya to Shahid Afridi, OUT, he's holed out to long-on, short of a length outside off, the ball takes ages to reach the batsman for a seamer and Afridi pulls early, ms-timing it straight to Kohli in the deep. Pandya is pumped and celebrates accordingly

Shahid Afridi c Kohli b Pandya 8 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR: 57.14
11.4
Pandya to Shahid Afridi, no run, the bouncer, Afridi swipes at it and is beaten, really springy bounce that does not come on to the bat
 

Saket: "Huh!! Pandya? Why not Raina?"

 
11.3
Pandya to Umar Akmal, 1 run, good length outside off, grips the surface again and comes on slowly, dabbed towards short third man
11.2
Pandya to Umar Akmal, FOUR, shot! Pace on Pandya's ball and Akmal uses it, swivelling towards the off side in his crease and pulling towards the cow corner boundary
11.1
Pandya to Shahid Afridi, 1 leg bye, short of a length and slower, Afridi pulls but pulls too early, he's hit on the body
 

Dinakaran: "This is a pitch where everyone can feel like warne or muralidaran!! It's like the ball is pitching in kolkatta and landing in karachi."
