England vs Pakistan, 3rd Test at Leeds, Aug 04 2006 - Ball by Ball Commentary

and that’s it, England have won the series with that wicket. That was a sharp stumping by Read to dismiss Inzamam, who was out by some distance, there. Inzamam came charging down the pitch in a final act of defiance.

pitches on leg and that’s well defended

doesn’t quite drive that one properly and it cannons into the pitch

defended

pitches outside off, turns away and that sneaks past the outside edge into Read’s gloves

attempted yorker, a little too full, Kaneria spots it and digs it out - Inzamam will be on strike again

strays down leg this time, stops a touch on the pitch, Inzamam waits for it and rolls his wrists over that one, sending it square with a languid pull

a curious shot from Inzamam who goes for a big pull shot but the ball doesn’t get up as much as he’d thought and it flies below his under edge

forced on to the back foot. Hostile this from Mahmood, who’s scenting blood

beautiful shot; there’s no messing there from Inzamam who larrups a charging cover-drive straight to the boundary. Glorious

ooh, lovely ball bounces short and shoots past the batsman’s nose

forward defence and Kaneria survives

a single at last to square

that one deceives and leaves Inzamam who tries to drive that one

again Inzamam isn’t interested in the single, as he paddles that one down to fine leg

shortish one, keeps low and Inzamam sweeps that lazily, lovingly, to square but turns down the single

rocks on to his backfoot to push that gently into fully

gone! Well, that didn’t take long. Gul prods forward and a huge edge just below the handle flies to Collingwood at third slip who snaffles a sharp chance. This game is England's for the taking

fine delivery; perfect line and length and a touch of inswing off the seam. The batsman reaches out at that one and then remonstrates with himself for that headrush
