LJ Wright2 (6b 0x4 0x6)
1-0-14-1
Zafar Gohar1-0-4-0

Cooper to Pietersen, FOUR, that's how you get going in a chase that asks you for 10 runs per over. Walk down the track at the fast bowler and whip him over midwicket. KP announces himself.
2.5
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, plants that back leg outside off, showing his cards early, so Cooper looks for the blockhole. It was up the the batsman to adjust, but he doesn't Swings blindly, gets an inside edge and his stumps are a mess

Ahmed Shehzad b Cooper 15 (11b 3x4 0x6) SR: 136.36
2.4
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, too straight again and Shehzad makes that little move inside the line of the ball and clips it to the long leg boundary. Clever shot
2.3
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, full and on middle and leg, swiped away over wide long-on
2.2
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, short and wide outside off, Shehzad made an exaggerated move back and across, prompted to bowler into changing his pace and it works. Batsman slashes and misses
2.1
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, full and outside off, squeezed to point
2.1
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 wide, good length ball left alone outside off. That seemed to skirt just inside the wide line, but then again it is only a guideline.
2.1
Cooper to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 wide, short and way way wide, Shehzad tries to reach for it with a cut shot but has no chance
 

Amin: "Can Wright emulate what Akmal did after a let off? That will decide the fate of this match." --- This is Kevon Cooper though
