W
Jacob Duffy to Shadab Khan, out Caught by Mitchell!! Again the short ball outside off. Shadab Khan was sitting deep in his crease. That was dug in short, the ball held on to the deck a little and Shadab Khan looked to pull it. The ball hit him higher on the bat and spooned up. The man at long-on took an easy catch. Jacob Duffy now has two wickets. Another body blow for Pakistan as Shadab Khan was batting well and scoring at a quick pace. The batter had to fetch that from outside off and that plotted his downfall. The ball getting a little stuck on to the deck when bowled short also isn't helping the pull shots much. Shadab Khan c Mitchell b Jacob Duffy 26(14) [4s-2 6s-2]
