End of over 16 (18 runs) Pakistan 157/2 (RR: 9.81)

Mohammad Hafeez59 (39b 6x4 2x6)

Reshad: "I think 175 is par in this pitch. Anything above that would be very challenging for Bangladesh considering the strong bowling line up of Pakistan."

 
15.6
Al-Amin Hossain to Shahid Afridi, SIX, and there's play number one from the Afridi handbook! Meet a length ball, unveil the full bat swing, watch the ball get lost in the stands beyond long-on. Classic.
15.5
Al-Amin Hossain to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, shortish and slower outside off, Hafeez opens the face and finds a single to short third man. Well, there's some luck working for Bangladesh. That could easily have been another four
15.4
Al-Amin Hossain to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, oh, that's brilliant. Everything is going Pakistan's way. A bowler who was bowling some really good yorkers lobs up a full toss. Hafeez moves away just a bit and all he does is pats the ball and it sails into the gap at extra cover
15.3
Al-Amin Hossain to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, he's been bowling those yorkers, Hafeez has been watching them calmly from the other end and the moment he got on strike, he assumed the length would be the same and manufactured a way to combat it - the lap sweep. Every bit the Professor there. Except for the inside edge-y bit to the boundary
15.2
Al-Amin Hossain to Shahid Afridi, 1 run, spears another yorker in on middle and leg, Afridi tries to pick that gap at midwicket again with a whip of his wrists but this is a slightly faster delivery and it reaches the batsman too quickly for that. Inside edge onto the pads
15.1
Al-Amin Hossain to Shahid Afridi, 2 runs, looks for the yorker, goes leg stump to remove any chance of Afridi freeing the arms. Clipped through to deep midwicket for a couple
 

Al-Amin's back...

Himu: "I usually prefer keep eyes on score in cricinfo as that allows me do my research works concurrently. Today i grabbed a cage of beers and watching live, but no sign of wicket fall. Right after i closed the screen shehzad was out! that must be a coincidence isn't it?"
