Pakistan vs New Zealand, 9th Match, Group D at Kandy, Sep 23 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary

swept and it gets stuck in the pad, dot ball end of the game

slow ball, long hop outside leg, fired into the leg side, has this found the stands? Nope only finds deep square leg, it was a good ball to hit but he simply didn't catch it properly, put it straight down the fielder's throat

slapped from outside off, good hit that past long off

outside off stump, swung outside off and an big edge to short third man took a step down, Ajmal sent it wider, Southee had to reach for it and got a huge top edge straight to the fielder on the 45

big swing and a miss, goes past leg stump

around the wicket, leg stump, flicked away, oh a good diving save at short long leg, that was travelling

fired in, missed, huge shout for lbw, not out given, must have been outside the line, they take a leg bye

great yorker, they go for the single, chance of a run out at the non-striker's end, he misses and it's well backed up, nearly four overthrows

slapped down to long off, they have to come back for two and do but it's a great throw from the boundary and Taylor is run out good work from Akmal to gather the throw and get the bails off, end of game surely now, he was never in the frame, run out by miles

and again! Leg side this time, taken off a length and slapped behind square on the leg side, races to the fence again

four more! What a shot. Crashed from just outside off past deep cover, great strike this is, where has Taylor been all innings

full outside off, goes to drive and gets an outside edge to the third man fence

another slower ball, well bowled, chopped to point

length ball, slower, and finds deep midwicket, relief for Pakistan as Franklin goes to pull and top edges it straight to the fielder on the leg side fence, it was a ball that could have gone out of the ground but Franklin didn't quite pick it

around the wicket, fired in full again, slapped down to long on

much better, gets the yorker right and it's dug out down to long on, well bowled, kept his cool

nervous times for Pakistan, full outside off and with mid off up that is four between him and extra cover, another good connection

great start to the over, length ball around middle and off, slugged over wide long on, picked it up for a flat six, great strike

shot. Down on one knee and slog swept into the stands, big hit

down the wicket, a lofted straight drive is mishit and Ajmal leaping up to his left couldn't hold on, he got both hands to it
