Usman: "The keenness of Pakistani batsmen to take singles is so satisfying"

But Bilal bellyaches: "What's point of playing 3 seamers on a wicket which shows good assistance to spinners and part timers? i like nawaz in for wahab"

Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, they go for a single, Hafeez always knew it was there but Shehzad was nervous about the mid-off fielder. Takes off late, so has to put in the dive. "Keeper" someone screams, and that's where the throw comes. But Shehzad's put in a dive and is safe. Might have hurt Mushfiqur's foot with the bat too
5.5
Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, but he's in no mood to keep plodding too long. Smooth progress down the pitch, made just enough room to open up the off side and drives past mid-off. Excellent shot selection and footwork
5.4
Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, blocks it away.
5.4
Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 wide, appeal for a stumping down leg. This was a tad bit slower again, but slid down leg. Hafeez had to wait and wait for his flick and because of that he has overbalanced. The back foot did raise up, but at the point of Mushfiq breaking the stumps the back heel was pressed down and in firm connection with the ground. Wide as well brings up Pakistan's fifty in the six over
5.3
Shakib Al Hasan to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, the straight bat usually wins everytime it makes an appearance. Hafeez wasn't particularly to the pitch of the ball, Shakib knows he had deceived the advancing batsman in flight, but Hafeez extended his hands a little further to make up the distance and comes away with a four over mid-off
5.2
Shakib Al Hasan to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 run, moves nimbly down the track and picks up a single through midwicket
5.1
Shakib Al Hasan to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, stays back to a flighted delivery - Pakistan have done that often today - and blocks.
 

And here's Shakib. He knows Eden Gardens quite well, doesn't he?

Keyur: "What if results of testing Arafat's action comes out during course of this match and it is indeed throw? Can he bowl or not?" ---- At that point, he won't be able to bowl until corrections are made
