00:30It's the World Championship of Legends, semi-final day, first one today, the Pakistan champions taking on the West Indies champions.
00:39Here are the team sheets, Pakistan champions.
00:42Yeah, just one change, Sohail Tanvir comes back in place of Azhar Mahmood.
00:46They have got enough batting, so obviously, sorry, in place of Razak.
00:49So they don't need those, I mean Razak as an all-rounder and he hasn't been bowling that well either.
00:54So Sohail comes in and we all know, I mean, left-arm seamer, T20 format.
00:59Obviously, I mean, and he's got a lot of experience in this format as well.
01:03So that's a good change for Pakistan champions, that one alone change.
01:07The other side, West Indies champions, obviously Kirk Edwards is not there, Carter is back,
01:13Suleiman Ben, Badri is still injured and that's a big blow.
01:17But it's an important toss for West Indies champions to win.
01:20They're going to bowl first and that's going to be quite interesting because it's quite breezy, overcast.
01:33Let's play.
01:36And hit away with ease, Cameron Ackmell off and running.
01:41Just to let you know, this is the same pitch, this is match number six on here.
01:46We've already had 2,077, make that 2,081 and we've had 21 sixes per match.
01:57In the air, in the air straight to the man.
02:00Now that is a big wicket, massive wicket.
02:03A man in real form is gone now, West Indies strike early.
02:09Similarly, he got out like this at Edgebaston, at Deep Square.
02:13The field was set, Brett Lee had set that field and he did exactly the same against Australia.
02:18This is a big wicket, it's a massive wicket in this first semi-final.
02:22Sharjeel gone, first ball, golden duck, Pakistan 5 for 1.
02:29That's a nice shot, that is going to run away.
02:31It is such a quick outfield here, even though he hasn't timed it probably as well as he would have liked.
02:39Got to be out, has to be out, given.
02:43Full and straight, the umpire had to just really think, is this going on to miss, leg stump.
02:51It didn't swing away, it just went with the angle and I thought it was going to miss leg stump.
02:57Maybe just clipping the leg stump and Sohaib Maqsood is not very happy with the decision.
03:05Pakistan under serious pressure here.
03:09Maqsood gone for 1, 10 for 2.
03:133 wickets it is.
03:17Fidel Edwards with his second, Dharan Sami with the catch.
03:23Pakistan lose their third.
03:25And Shoaib Malik couldn't help it, he just pushed at it, just a gentle push.
03:30And the pace and the pinch helped the ball to carry nicely to Dharan Sami.
03:36Now, third wicket in the second over.
03:39Malik gone without scoring, it's 10 for 3 now Pakistan.
04:10What a shot, it is coming, and have a bit of that.
04:15It is the first, ease my trip, 6.
04:18Yeah, once again, way too short and Yunus Khan seemed like he knew it.
04:22He knew that Tino Best, that's what he likes, he's going to try to do the same again.
04:27And that ball has landed on the concrete.
04:29Remember, in the middle of the two stands.
04:35That's poor, that's really, really poor.
04:39After such a good start, they just gave it away in this over.
04:4312 off the over.
04:46Yeah, it's a bit straight.
04:47It's a lovely bit of timing from Yunus Khan, because he knows fine leg and square leg is inside the ring.
04:53And with just a little flick of the wrist, Nikhil.
04:58Oh, well played.
04:59Very nice from Cameron Akhmal, because he knows Tino Best is inside the ring.
05:04And he just waits, waits and waits a little bit longer.
05:08He gets a pass, Chadwick Walton.
05:13Nicely played from Cameron Akhmal.
05:15Lovely, controlled stroke.
05:18I mentioned he has the hands as well as the power, and that's eight overs bold.
05:23Bit of a recovery, 62 for three.
05:28Now that takes Tino Best on, mid-off is inside the ring.
05:32It's a really, really good shot.
05:35Oh, damage, damage, damage.
05:38Good from Cameron Akhmal.
05:42Just missed the yorker by a foot.
05:44And that was enough for Cameron Akhmal to lift it over mid-off.
05:51Oh, that's a good shot.
05:53He's been looking to play that shot for a while.
05:55Inside out.
05:57Off the front foot this time.
06:01Beautifully bowled.
06:04He's not just got the wicket, he's actually got the stumps as well.
06:08A little bit quicker, yes.
06:11No, that has to be just rotten.
06:13But it's still a great delivery and a big wicket for the West Indies.
06:18Only bowling in his third over in the competition so far.
06:22But he's gone.
06:23Four short of a half century, 46.
06:25Pakistan now, 89 for four.
06:30Beautiful.
06:31Sublime from Yunus Khan.
06:35Oh, that's a superb piece of fielding.
06:40That brings up the half century for Yunus Khan.
06:46No, that's not out. The ball's dead.
06:49Don't even try that, Chuck Walton.
06:52But yes, superb knock from Yunus Khan from the skipper.
06:56Cut and out.
06:58Little bit of width.
07:00Afridi once again trying to flay it through the offside.
07:05The danger man, Shahid Afridi.
07:08A lot quicker this time.
07:11Slices it.
07:13Straight to Jonathan Carter.
07:15He's got to go.
07:16One, two, three, four.
07:19He's got to go.
07:21Straight to Jonathan Carter.
07:23He's got to go.
07:25One, it's 100 for five, Pakistan champions.
07:32Too high.
07:33Oh, given.
07:34The finger goes up.
07:36And it's given.
07:40The angle that he delivers it from.
07:42That's what the umpire is thinking.
07:43The angle, where does it hit him?
07:45Does it turn?
07:46Is it going on to hit?
07:49I'm giving that out as well.
07:51I am giving that one out as well.
07:53I think that's a good decision.
07:55And the West Indies owner and Darren Sammy's family are happy.
08:00That man isn't.
08:01He's gone.
08:02First ball missed by Ul Haq for none.
08:04100 for six, Pakistan.
08:08Too fine.
08:10A bit of a gift there.
08:18That's in the gap.
08:20Rather expensive over this one.
08:2214 from it.
08:23It's 116 for six.
08:29Oh, that's nicely played.
08:32Very, very nicely done.
08:34To get a four off the last ball.
08:36130 for six after 15.
08:43Maybe drifting.
08:44And he's given.
08:46Yunus Khan.
08:48Not a happy man.
08:49Maybe thinking, yeah, he was drifting down like so.
08:51But he has to go.
08:53Played really well for his 65.
08:55That's a big, big blow for the Pakistani champions.
08:59Yunus Khan, as a batter, you're never happy.
09:01Let's be honest.
09:02You always think you're not out.
09:04But yes, that might just be drifting.
09:07Ever so slightly.
09:09But Fidel Edwards, what a spell.
09:11Started with a double wicket maiden.
09:13And getting Yunus Khan out as well.
09:15134 for seven.
09:20That's the one I was talking about.
09:22In the slot, Amir Amin will not be shy
09:25to go after that.
09:28Just the second ease my trip.
09:30Six for the Pakistan champions in this innings.
09:35That is incredible.
09:38Look at that.
09:39The no-look shot.
09:40He knew exactly where that ball is travelling.
09:42Didn't have to follow it.
09:47For Mirov in the 30-yard circle.
09:49He's not going to get to it.
09:50And maybe it's a six.
09:52Another ease my trip for six.
09:56In the slot.
10:00That's a brilliant hit.
10:05Took the slow ball and dispassed it.
10:07In the stands, Amir Amin.
10:11Another ease my trip, six.
10:13Extraordinary.
10:14Look at that shot.
10:15The way he frees his front leg.
10:17And created that room to have that free back swing
10:20through the ball.
10:25In the gap.
10:26And will get the boundary.
10:33And boundary.
10:34And will take that boundary.
10:35Back-to-back boundaries as well.
10:36This has been a good over for the Pakistan champions.
10:39They're just getting the momentum
10:40that they've been looking for.
10:44Slow right there.
10:46Even if the fielder was standing at deep square leg,
10:49it would have been sailing over his head as well.
10:52Another ease my trip, six.
10:54And this time for Sohail Tanvi.
11:00Through the line on the offside.
11:02And maybe the third umpire will check.
11:06Signals at the boundary as well.
11:10Fielder.
11:13Ashley Nurse tried really well, but up and over.
11:17That's a third.
11:18Who would have thought Pakistan champions would get to 191
11:22when they lost to Yunus Khan.
11:23Again, that's a poor delivery in the slot.
11:30Amir Amin wanted to get the strike.
11:33If he ran straight away, probably would have made it.
11:36But still, Amin will be on strike
11:39for the final delivery of this innings.
11:42Can he get a boundary?
11:43Out for 33, 195 for eight.
11:45The last ball of innings.
11:48Really well executed that Yorker.
11:50He's looking for the second as well.
11:52Will complete the second as well.
11:54And he misses it.
11:57Sammy the skipper there.
11:59Three runs of the last delivery.
12:01This has been a good fight back by the Pakistan champions.
12:04Three wickets down for 10 runs.
12:05That big partnership between Kamran Akmal as well as Yunus Khan.
12:08And then between Sohail Tanvir as well as Amir Amin.
12:1240 of just 18 deliveries.
12:15Strike rate of 222.
12:17Three sixes and two boundaries.
12:19What a fight back.
12:21Kamran Akmal, 46 of 31.
12:23And then what a fight back.
12:25The skipper looking to lead from the front.
12:28Yunus Khan, 65 from just 45 deliveries.
12:31And then Amir Amin, 40 not out of 18.
12:34And Sohail Tanvir, 33 from 17.
12:38That's the partnership that you want.
12:40Could be game changing partnership.
12:43Gets them to 198.
12:46What a comeback for Fidel Edwards.
12:48Previous game against Australia.
12:50Three for 48 and today picking up three wickets for 24 runs.
12:55Two wickets for Suleyman Ben.
12:58The West Indies need 199 to win this and go to the final.
13:07Right, all set to go.
13:09199 for the West Indies to get through to the final.
13:19The hard workers now then got all of this.
13:22Had to try and hit something.
13:25Couldn't allow him to keep bowling length.
13:27So a boundary to finish.
13:28Four overs done.
13:30Amin with his third.
13:33Outside edge.
13:34This is going to run away for a boundary.
13:38Got excited there because I just saw a leaning edge.
13:42Absolutely.
13:43I just knew I could sense that something was coming from him.
13:47He's had enough with this length bowling and just prodding at it.
13:51It's time now to show you what the universe boss is all about.
13:57Now, has he just picked him out?
13:59No, he hasn't.
14:00He's gone over the top of Wahab Riaz.
14:04More like Chris Gale.
14:07Good footwork.
14:08Doesn't give the game away early, Chris Gale,
14:10when he decides to come down the pitch.
14:11So it doesn't give the bowler that much time.
14:15Can't do that.
14:16Can't give him any width.
14:18He'll just stand up on his toes and cut you away.
14:25Clipped.
14:26And this will run away for a boundary to finish off the fifth over.
14:3124 from the over.
14:33Five overs gone.
14:34West Indies 31 without loss.
14:38Oh, that's a slower delivery.
14:40Deceived him.
14:41It's gone way up into the air and very well judged and taken.
14:45Wahab Riaz the fielder.
14:47What a catch.
14:48And that's the end of the universe boss.
14:53We talk about slower delivery.
14:55You've got to bowl the slower delivery,
14:56but you've got to bowl it this well to get somebody like Chris Gale out.
15:00Back of the hand.
15:01It's more like a googly than a back of the hand slower delivery.
15:05And look, just couldn't pick it.
15:07Chris Gale, but a wonderful catch at the end by Wahab Riaz.
15:10Not an easy catch when you're running backwards.
15:13Out for 22 of 21.
15:1531 for 1 West Indies.
15:20That's a good hit.
15:21That's a very good hit.
15:23All the way for Ease My Trip.
15:25Six.
15:26And what a start to the second power play.
15:28Got hit for a six.
15:29The very first delivery.
15:30It's hard to come back from there in T20.
15:31Look at that.
15:32In the slot.
15:33But the way he again created that room by taking the left leg out of the way.
15:37Brilliant.
15:40Oh, there you go.
15:42Shot of a man in form.
15:44Second Ease My Trip.
15:46Maximum of the over.
15:48They've been struggling throughout.
15:49And he comes and tongs a couple of sixes in the last three deliveries.
15:53Again, full of deliveries in the slot.
15:57Oh, there he goes.
15:59Dwayne Smith time now.
16:01The third Ease My Trip.
16:04Maximum of the over.
16:0519 so far.
16:07You're never under pressure.
16:08Even if the required rate goes around that 12 mark.
16:11You've got so much confidence in your ability.
16:13And that was an unbelievable shot.
16:15Across the line as well.
16:17Against the spin.
16:20Oh, that's a tracking shot.
16:23That's straight out of the middle.
16:27Oh, brilliant.
16:28This time, he's cautioned.
16:31The bales are off.
16:34Oh, so the bales aren't glued then.
16:36It does come off.
16:37What a yorker.
16:38Look at that execution.
16:40Outstanding.
16:41Just tailing in.
16:42A hint of reverse at the very end.
16:44Brilliant touch.
16:45Chadwick Walton out for 19.
16:47And West Indian champion, 60 for 2.
16:54Watch it.
16:55Watch it.
16:57That's the coffee shop, isn't it?
16:59They make some really good coffee.
17:00I hope they're alright.
17:07Probably a trick to just get a bit of time in the camera.
17:10Why not?
17:11But look at that hit.
17:13Picking the lens so early.
17:14Just bouncing in front.
17:17We'll have to see if they hit the top of the van.
17:19It did bounce.
17:20They might have given a dent on top of the van.
17:27Oh, it was in the air.
17:28But in the gap.
17:29It's a good shot.
17:36It is in the air.
17:37Long on.
17:38And...
17:39Takes it.
17:42Amir Yameen there.
17:43A bit of cameo of an innings.
17:45Sees the back end of Dwayne Smith.
17:51I've not understood this innings from start to finish with Dwayne Smith.
17:55And this ball is just hit straight down Long On's throat.
17:59He hasn't looked like he's been understanding what's being required to chase this big target down.
18:06He's gone for 26.
18:07West Indies champion, 79 for 3.
18:14Brilliant.
18:15Absolutely sensational.
18:16Direct hit.
18:17Goal.
18:18Brilliant.
18:21For me, that is gone.
18:25How quickly he released that.
18:27Oh, yeah.
18:29Out by a big margin as well.
18:33Third umpire.
18:34Listen to the roar.
18:37Carter's gone for 7.
18:38West Indies champions, 80 for 4.
18:44Plenty of time.
18:45Plenty of time to pick a spot and goals are flat.
18:48And just over the head of Boom Boom Afridi.
18:51He was a bit stiff when he was doing that.
18:53So he's just struggling a little bit when he gets it right.
19:00And...
19:01Ashley Nurse will help himself for another Ease My Trip 6.
19:05Another hit me delivery.
19:06A rare opportunity given by Shahid Afridi.
19:14Oh, yeah.
19:16Through the offside.
19:17Will take that boundary as well.
19:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:24And beats the third man.
19:26Put there by Yunus Khan as well.
19:31He's been striking it like that.
19:33Till the time he's out there on the crease.
19:35He's going to go after this run chase and why not?
19:37Absolutely.
19:38Semi-final game.
19:43Nicely placed.
19:44Just using that width and pace of Wahab Riaz.
19:47That angle.
19:48Helping Jason Muhammad.
19:53Hit me delivery.
19:54First up.
19:55And also...
19:57Picks up a wicket there.
20:00Amir Yameen did well with the bat.
20:02And a well judged cast as well.
20:06Amir Yameen who is down at long gone.
20:08You can just see he's probably trying to get it into the gap
20:11between deep mid wicket and deep long gone.
20:13It's a good catch in the end.
20:15Jason Muhammad goes to seven.
20:18West Indies champions.
20:191.15 for five.
20:24Brilliant.
20:25How's that, Mr Stumps?
20:27And how's it, Mr Cameron Ackmull?
20:29It's Mr Helmut.
20:30It's gone for four byes.
20:32A little bit like yourself, Walker.
20:33And it's pumped.
20:37Hit straight.
20:39For four.
20:40For four.
20:41Maybe six.
20:43I think it's just landed inside the rope.
20:49So don't write off West Indies as yet.
20:56Down the ground.
20:57But straight to long.
20:59Gets underneath it.
21:00That's a really good catch.
21:01Amir Yameen.
21:02That's really, really good.
21:04That's a big, big blow for the West Indies.
21:07Really good bowling from Wahab.
21:09Great ball in the catch.
21:10Brilliant from Amir.
21:15Down the ground.
21:16What a beautiful shot that is.
21:18Only a second ball he's faced of the tournament.
21:20And Riyadh Emirates gets an ease-my-trip six.
21:24Hasn't picked up a wicket.
21:25He would love to have one wicket.
21:28Sooner or later, he'll get that.
21:29Oh!
21:30Mahbi out.
21:31Mahbi run out here.
21:33A little ten-pin bowling exercise from Cameron Ackmull.
21:39This is going to be tight.
21:40Nurse.
21:41He's gone!
21:42He's gone!
21:45That is exceptional from Cameron Ackmull.
21:48Excellent from the Pakistan wicket-keeper.
21:53All going the way of the men in green.
21:55This afternoon in Northampton.
22:01Clubbed by Jerome Taylor.
22:03Out towards the coffee cart.
22:06Yeah, poor length.
22:07There was just dragged delivery.
22:10And I think Shoaib Malik was thinking
22:12that he's going to come down the pitch.
22:14I can bowl a little shorter.
22:17Gone again.
22:19Gets it.
22:21What a wonderful hit.
22:22That's a third six for Emberton
22:24while he's at the crease.
22:26You cannot relax against West Indies
22:30because you're going to pay.
22:32Two sixes in two balls.
22:34And suddenly, the required run rate
22:3625.5.
22:40No, then.
22:41Have you got enough?
22:43Yes, you have.
22:45Wonderful hitting from Emirates.
22:4728 required now of seven.
22:49Suddenly, this game comes alive.
22:54Lovely batting by Emirates.
22:57Nile O'Brien.
22:58What about this one?
22:59What about this one?
23:00Straight to the man who is so used to
23:03catching in the deep.
23:05Straight to his hand.
23:06Shoaib Malik breathing easy.
23:08That was in the slot.
23:10That was there to hit.
23:12That's right there in Emirates' arc.
23:16And who else?
23:18Amir Yamin in the deep.
23:19Oh, Emirates.
23:21You know that should have gone for another.
23:26It's not a six, but it'll be a four.
23:29Good start from Tino.
23:33Gone.
23:35Full.
23:36Straight.
23:37Sohail Khan has been exceptional all tournament.
23:40And he's just knocked back.
23:43All around.
23:44Family is happy.
23:46Sohail Khan is so good when it comes to
23:50last overs.
23:51Those yorkers.
23:53Nice and full.
23:54Leg stump.
23:56Pakistan have taken 178 for nine.
23:59Things are getting out of hand over Sindhis.
24:03Round the wicket to Solomon Ben.
24:07Gone.
24:08What a beautiful way to get yourself in
24:13to the World Championship of Legends finals.
