what a way to give chance to SA back into the game

34.6
Tsotsobe to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, what is happening out there? Shehzad looks to ease this back of a length ball down to mid-on, but Akmal is rooted at the non-strikers, guilty of ball-watching. Shehzad is almost at the other end when he sees Tahir swoop on the ball, and is unable to make it back in time for the throw as de Kock collects it and then whips off the the bails, with Shehzad well short. What a way to shoot yourself in the foot, and Umar Akmal will be feeling guilty as the run was on, despite the risk
**Ahmed Shehzad run out 102 (112b 8x4 2x6) SR: 91.07 **

I am still unable to understand that 15 overs left and they are sending Afridi

36.2
McLaren to Umar Akmal, FOUR, see, this is how you do it. Similar delivery as the one to Afridi,** except this time Umar fetches a four wi**th a crisp cover drive that leaves the fielders frozen in their stance
36.1
McLaren to Shahid Afridi, 1 run, full and just outside off as Afridi does an Afridi and looks to belt this into the next port. Instead the ball spoons up over cover, with Lopsy running behind, but unable to get into it, and it was just a couple of yards away
McLaren to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, bouncer this time from McLaren and Afridi knows the leg side field as he pulls this behind square into the vacant gap for a boundary
38.4
McLaren to Umar Akmal, 1 run, full length delivery which is eked out to point
Kushal Joshi: “I think the world needs to know that Umer Akmal is wearing green lipstick today. Ichhibangg.. lipstick for men.”
38.3
McLaren to Umar Akmal, SIX, stand and deliver from Umar as this short and wide delivery is dealt with handsomely as he goes up and over third man for a huge six
*Shahid Afridi c de Villiers b Steyn 11 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 84.61 *
39.5
Steyn to Shahid Afridi, OUT, wide outside off and Afridi, looking to guide this past the slips, instead guides it to the slip, with Steyn over the moon. Only reason this could be construed a big wicket is if he let loose in the end overs, which he is capable off. But South Africa have remedied that prospect quite well
