SHAHEEN AFRIDI HAS BEEN NAMED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH! Nice, interesting choice. On a day where batsmen stole the headlines, this bloke had his own say. Afridi says that boundaries are usually short in T20s and the bowlers just gunned for wickets, praising his team's batsmen for putting on a good score. Admits that on true wickets like these, where the ball comes onto the bat, with dew around and also with shorter boundaries, change of pace and variation in lengths are the keys as bowling is very tough. Tells from the heart that doing well is not in his hands but trying hard always is and that is what he always does in every game.
Babar Azam, the Pakistan skipper, is down for a chat. But first, he has to wait for a while as he cannot hear with the fans cheering loudly. He says that the stand between him and Rizwan gave them a good platform and after that, every batter contributed to get them to a big score. Adds that he changes his mindset a bit while playing in the T20 format and enjoys his game. About the bowling, says that they gave their 100 percent and even their fielding was quite good. Credits Shadab Khan for the way he bowled the death over (17th) and took two wickets. Finishes by saying that they want to continue the momentum and look to enjoy the game.
England skipper, Eoin Morgan, is up for a chat first. On being asked as to where did England lack, Morgan says that only one batsman got going, which was the main difference but also looks at it as a huge positive as with just one batter playing, they managed to cross 200. Is happy with the bowlers for starting well and keeping Pakistan under pressure. Feels the plans were in place but the execution wasn't. Feels happy to be under pressure and find out more about his team and how they can improve. Is impressed with Liam Livingstone's knock and says that in the last 6 months, he has watched knocks from Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow but rates this one as high as any one of those. Agrees that Moeen Ali was promoted in this game to give him more opportunities to bat. Ends by saying that this road to the T20 World Cup is all about giving opportunities to players and picking the best possible squad for the mega tournament.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the game, after being inserted, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan put on a brilliant 150-run stand at the top to put Pakistan in a very strong position. After that, everyone who came to bat played a cameo on a brilliant wicket for batting to get them to 232, their highest T20I score. The English had a tough day with the ball as everyone was taken apart for runs.
England would have wanted a strong start from their openers but that did not happen as Malan fell early and Bairstow and Ali fell for timid scores. Roy clobbered the ball all over the ground as he raced to 32 of 13 balls but could not carry on to get a big score. Livingstone put on a 50-run stand with Morgan but the English skipper was never in full control and fell for 16. While all this was happening, Livingstone was putting on a brilliant master-class of T20 hitting at the other end. He batted brilliantly and kept England in the hunt. He powered his way to a ton but fell towards the death overs. His wicket was the final nail in the coffin as they were bowled out for 201 and fell short by 31 runs. If one of their proper batters had supported Livingstone a bit more, then they could have chased this down.
Pakistan had a great start with the ball as they took 3 wickets in the Powerplay. Afridi took two and Hasnain took 1 but the run rate by England was quite good. After the Powerplay, Shadab Khan took the wicket of a well-set Roy to put England on the back foot and when a partnership was brewing, Wasim took the wicket of the English skipper. They were put under the pump by Livingstone and the game remained in the balance as long as he was out there in the middle but Shadab Khan took the big wicket in the 17th over to put Pakistan well on top after that. He took 3 wickets in total, but Hasnain's performance was very valuable too as he was the one who nailed the yorkers which kept even Livingstone quiet. After Livingstone fell, the bowlers did the mop up and got them to their first victory of the tour.
Finally, Pakistan get a victory on this tour and it has been a well-deserved one. They batted well, bowled well and held their nerves when they were under the pump and their fielding was also quite brilliant. For England, it was a tough day at work. They rested many of their main players and the youngsters could not rise up to the occasion.

Ideally, he should be the Man Of The Match because it is his spell which has kept England quiet at one end. But sadly, a batsman will get the MOM.

Shadab Khan To Liam Livingstone OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That should be the game in the bag. Livingstone falls for a sensational 43-ball 103. The gamble to bring Shadab for the 17th over works for Pakistan. Third tossed up ball on the trot, with perhaps, slower pace. Livingstone tries for a repeat of the previous ball, attempting a slog but gets more height than distance on this one. Easy catch for Shaheen Afridi again at long on. Pakistan fielders swarm Afridi and Shadab. They know the importance of this wicket. It has just opened the door for their first win on this tour. Poor old Livingstone is distraught. But well played, lad.

Interesting. Shadab Khan to bowl the 17th over. Gamble? 3-0-40-1 so far.

Run up lost. Or no. Rauf comes running in but someone moves above the sighscreen and Livingstone moves away. Makes a man sitting there get up and sit somewhere else.

Mohammad Hasnain To Lewis Gregory
A perfect yorker, on off. Lewis Gregory pushes it to back to the bowler. Now, Hasnain looks to stop that and gets a hand on it as well. The ball rolls back dangerously and hence, Livingstone rushes back into his crease. Might have been out had the ball hit. But it goes past the stumps and now, Gregory calls for the single. However, Livingstone has to do a u-turn, completing a full circle and then taking off for the single. The mid on fielder misses that though. He could have easily had Livingstone run out at the striker's end but he chooses to go at the bowler's end. Gregory is easily in but the throw is a monstrous one. Well wide of the stumps, past the bowler, wide of Mohammad Rizwan, the keeper and down to third man. There is a chance for the overthrow but poor Livingstone has run way too far!

LBW REVIEW TAKEN BUT NOT OUT! Pakistan waste a review as this was going down the leg side! A screeching yorker, on the pads. Liam Livingstone gets hit on the pads as he misses his flick. Pakistan decide to review after their appeal for LBW was turned down. There is nothing on the UltraEdge but the Ball Tracker shows that it was doing too much and going down the leg side. So, it will be a leg bye in the end as the batters crossed over once the ball rolled to the off side.

Around middle, LL works it towards long on for a run.

Shadab Khan To Jason Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Shadab Khan dismisses the dangerous Jason Roy! The googly, outside off, fuller in length, Roy backs away to the leg side and then looks to go inside out. But he is done in by the inward turn and skies this over extra cover. Easy catch for Babar Azam. Roy could have possibly gone over Shadab's hand but it is so easy to pass a comment as an afterthought. Seems like Jason did not pick the googly at all. But end of an entertaining innings.

SIX! BOOM! How much is that? Number 8 in this innings? No, 7th. At this rate, the umpires are going to run out of disinfectants here! Fractionally short, around middle and off, Liam Livingstone rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket!
Leg spin. Shadab Khan to bowl.

Haris Rauf To Liam Livingstone
DROPPED, SIX! Bizarre scenes. First, a length ball on middle and leg and Liam Livingstone looks to flick. But he is early into the shot and gets a leading edge. That leading edge travels all the way down to third man, who first, comes running in, but then has to go back. Leaps gets hands to the ball but tips it over!

Mohammad Hasnain To Moeen Ali OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and England are in big trouble now! This is not the start they wanted! Hasnain digs a short one, around off. Moeen Ali reckons that he can send this sailing over the mid-wicket fence and goes for the pull. But he gets the top edge towards deep mid-wicket. Haris Rauf runs back to his left from short mid-wicket and at the same time Sohaib Maqsood is running to his right from deep mid-wicket. No calling from either and it is Rauf who takes the catch. Maqsood sees that at the last moment and bails out. But Rauf ends up diving after taking the catch and knocks Maqsood down! Thankfully, both players are safe. This reminds us of a horrific Steve Waugh-Jason Gillespie collision way back in 1999, in a Test against Sri Lanka in the island nation, where Steve Waugh rammed his face into Gillespie's shoulder. Nothing of that sort here. Pakistan well on top.

Play and a miss! Serves a length ball, just outside off. Ali is beaten as he looks to push it to the off side.
Mohammad Hasnain to bowl now. He has got pace as well and tonight, plenty of cushion of runs behind him as well. Might as well go out on an all-out attack.

Shaheen Afridi To Jason Roy
FOUR! There is only one way Roy knows how to bat and this chase is perfect for him to play that way! Length ball, outside off. Roy throws his hands at it and the ball races to the extra cover fence. Shaheen Afridi doesn't like that and has a few presumably friendly words to say to Roy. Jason stands still, gives a stare and then nods his head in an agreement to something. The match referee might just want to have a word later.

Back of a length, on off. Punched towards covers for a quick single.
Moeen Ali comes up next, at number 4, replacing Jonny Bairstow. He is going to have his wits about him because, Shaheen is running in hard. As per the original scorecard, Liam Livingstone was to bat at 4, and this seems to be a last-minute change in plan.

Shaheen Afridi To Jonny Bairstow OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! That is a huge wicket and who other than Shaheen Afridi to provide it! He bowls a pacy bouncer, right around the rib cage. Jonny Bairstow goes for the pull but the ball hurries onto him and he gets the top edge. The ball goes high in the air towards short fine leg but Imad Wasim settles under it to take it. 191 needed in 99 balls now!

Imad Wasim To Jason Roy
Well bowled. Fires one, on the stumps. Jason Roy gets it from the toe end while looking to pull it. He sets off for the single but then aborts the throught as the ball is to the right of the bowler and Imad is quick to get to it.
The ball is being sanitized now, as it went into the crowd. In fact, the umpires are changing this ball. Out comes the box of balls.

Mohammad Rizwan was convinced that this was a wicket! Back of a length, outside off. Bairstow is beaten as he looks to drive it and Mohammad Rizwan throws the ball thinking that there is some bat on it. But the umpire is unmoved. While all of this is happening, Roy thinks of sneaking in a single but Bairstow is unmoved too. Babar Azam decides not to review this one and rightly so as there was nothing on UltraEdge.

Shaheen Afridi To Dawid Malan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Yup, he has taken that one cleanly! That is a superb take by Afridi! This is well bowled too, a touch shorter and slower in pace. The ball comes slowly off the pitch and Malan gets it back to the bowler while looking to play it on the off side. Now, Afridi gets low in his follow-through, goes to his right and the ball sticks in his right hand. Voila! England lose their first in this big chase!

Appeal for LBW! Length ball, lands on off and nips back in. Malan gets hit on the pads as he looks to drive it. Afridi goes up in arms but the umpire is unmoved. It looks like there was some bat on that one, plus it was going down the leg side.

NOT OUT! That dropped just short of Shaheen Afridi! Loopy ball, outside off. Malan ends up chipping it towards mid off. Shaheen Afridi runs forward and dives to get to the ball. He isn't sure as to whether he has taken it and suggests the same to the umpire. They go upstairs and a couple of replays are enough to show that the ball bounced before going in his hands.
Is that a catch? The soft signal is not out. The ball has clearly bounced before going in the hands.
