full and outside off, Akhtar smears it over extra cover. He has to reach so far away from his body to make connection. But that doesn't pull down his power

that's epic! He shimmies inside the line of the back of a length ball and simply flicks it away over long leg. Gives the West Indian bowler a good look at the one-legged whip on the leg side

that's an outrageous catch by Shehzad! And Pollard runs right up to him and lifts him clean off his feet! The bowler does his bit to throw the set batsman off guard, pitching the ball up, but taking all the pace off and slanting it wide as well. That means if Zaman goes after it, he will more than likely mistime the shot. And he does. It skews off the outside edge. it seems like it will drop short of Shehzad racing up from the sweeper cover boundary, but he puts in a last-gasp dive and comes up with the ball clutched in both hands. Lets out a primal roar as well, throwing his head back. This is a game-changing moment

given, <b>but Azhar reviews</b>! It's a nice, short delivery around middle and leg, Azhar is hurried on a pull, but it seems the ball may have just brushed the helmet, and not the glove!

The third umpire says 'there is a spike as ball passes bat.' But he rightly changes his call, forcing the umpire to overturn the decision.
