WI vs SL - 6 sixes in an over

5.6
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, to deep mid-wicket


5.5
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, make that 5 sixes in the over now - sheer power from Pollard, the length wasn't short, but he had made up his mind, dragged this leg-break high and over the bowler's head, went a long way over the ropes at long-on


Concern in the Sri Lankan camp as they set up a mini conference. The ball has been returned and it has been sanitized. We have had a hat-trick already, will we have a 36-run over? Pretty sure Pollard will go for it


5.4
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, four sixes in a row, now, now - can Pollard make it 36 for the over, the wrong 'un and he spotted it early, gets down low and mows it high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum


5.3
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, make it a hat-trick of sixes - Dananjaya looks bemused, but this is poor bowling, too full and well wide of off, Pollard can free his arms and send this one sailing over long-off for a maximum


5.2
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Pollard, some scounter-punch this - very full and at the stumps, right under Pollard's arc and he simply thumps it straight into the sight-screen


5.1
Dananjaya to Pollard, SIX, massive, Pollard will play his shots - picked the length early to a full ball and hoisted it high and over long-on, went a long way over the ropes

England bat first.

5 overs of decent seam first-up...2 balls of spin later and the first wicket is down. Another batsman misses an arm ball.

The remainder of the 2021 Pakistan Super League has been postponed, following news on Thursday morning that three more players had tested positive for Covid-19. The decision was taken after an emergency meeting between the PCB and the franchises. The three new cases on Thursday brought the tally of total positives in the tournament bubble to seven, of which six were players.

The PCB said that the decision to postpone was taken "following a meeting with the team owners and considering the health and well-being of all participants". The board's immediate next step is to focus on the "safe and secure passage of all participants, and arrange repeat PCR tests, vaccines and isolation facilities to the six participating sides". Fourteen out of the scheduled 34 matches in the tournament have been completed.

The PCB had said the three most-recent cases are from two different teams. They were tested on Wednesday afternoon after reporting symptoms. The board said the new cases were not from any of the teams who played in Wednesday's double-header matches, which rules out players from Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi, Multan Sultans or Quetta Gladiators.

Man, England are broken. As batting conditions in India go, today was as good as it gets, they won the toss, got to bat first and still threw it away.

They got past 200 so that's an improvement :D

They fighting hard though. This is turning into quite a good test. Enjoying it. Hasn’t been a great series, if we being honest. Been some sensational individual performances but too many mismatched results.
