34.3 Pollock to Younis Khan, no run, beaten! Again Pollock continues to tease the batsman outside the off stump. Just rolls his fingers across the seam and it lands on a length and shapes away. Younis lunges forward to defend and is beaten.
36.3 Pollock to Younis Khan, no run, straigthens after landing outside off, steered to point
36.4 Pollock to Younis Khan, no run, Hello?! snorter! Suddenly Pollock hurls in beast of a delivery. Kicks from short of length and it hurtles towards the throat of Younis who hops, some how gets his wrists working overtime and manages to fend it in front of him. Very well handled.
38.3 Pollock to Yasir Hameed, no run, again short of length, on the off stump line, comes back in a touch, defended off the front foot.
| Sounds to me like there's just enough encouragement for the seamers even after nearly 40 overs.... sounds like great cricket!!!
