Abdullah Shafique b Ollie Robinson

Ollie Robinson to Abdullah Shafique, out Bowled!! What a bowler Ollie Robinson is. Especially at home. He planted the seed of doubt in Abdullah Shafique's mind with all those scrambled-seam deliveries. Now he bowls the rip-roaring inswinger and Shafique is cleaned up. It's a fine nipbacker, past the back foot block and beating the inside-edge to land on top of middle-stump. You need a special skill to do what Robinson does at his pace. Rightly he is delighted. Shafique who was Pakistan's best batter on view today had no clue to a cracker. Also Jamie Smith standing up played a part in the dismissal as Shafique was not allowed to stand outside his crease.
