49.4: Henil Patel to Uzairullah Niazai, HUNDRED FOR NIAZAI! Hard to believe he has dragged himself to three figures after all the early struggle, but full credit to him, he found another gear once he reached his fifty. Henil Patel bangs this short again and on leg, Uzairullah Niazai heaves it straight towards deep mid-wicket, but still turns around for the double. The throw from the deep comes at the keeper's end, where Abhigyan Kundu collects it. However, he is more focused on the batter and misses the stumps with his first swing, and then breaks the stumps on the second attempt. But, by that time, Niazai has made his ground with the dive. He knows that and the replay confirms the same as well. Uzairullah Niazai spreads his arms wide to celebrate his hundred and soaks it all in. It has been a valuable knock.

The throw comes at the bowler's end, where Henil Patel fails to collect it cleanly and now Niazai calls his partner for the second again as the ball rolls beside the strip on the leg side. Patel runs towards the ball but throws it well wide of the keeper, and misses the run out chance.

2
49.1: Henil Patel to Uzairullah Niazai, A slower one, full and on leg, Uzairullah Niazai backs away and swings for the hills, but gets an inside edge towards square leg. Niazai turns around for the second run, as the keeper, Abhigyan Kundu, chases the ball. He collects, turns around and throws it at the batter's end, where the ball hits the stump mic and not the stumps. The batter was gone for all money. 300 UP FOR THE AFGHANS!
