Imam, Azam rally Pakistan after early wkt

June 26, 2019 21:02

Pak 43-1 (10 ovs) vs NZ 237-6 | Scorecard

This is good bowling from New Zealand as the pacers dry up the runs and look to build some pressure.

Azam looks keen to get on with things but Henry sticks to a good line and length, bowling five dots in a row.

Azam then looks to swing Henry over the leg side but manages only a single to deep square leg.

In the next over, Boult cuts Azam into half with one which holds it line, beating the attempted flick and also passes very close to the off-stump. The next ball is right in the slot as Azam crashes it through the covers for a four but Boult comes back as he goes past the edge next ball.

Boult switches to round the wicket and goes for the full incoming delivery but Azam plays another glorious drive through the covers for a four.

A single each to Imam and Azam off Henry's fifth over as Pakistan reach 43 for one in 10 overs, needing another 195 runs in 40 overs for victory at an asking rate of just under five.
