Faheem to Blundell, huuuuuuge lbw shout but umpire Gaffaney is unmoved and so Pakistan go for the review.
the inward movement that Ashraf generates is so perfect that it pins him in line with the stumps and gets confirmation
from ball-tracking it would then go on to crash into them.
Beautiful stuff from the Pakistan allrounder.

Kane Williamson's authority over all things batting has led his team to a position of strength.
They are 11 runs away from taking the lead in this game.
He is 11 runs away from becoming one of the fastest players to 7000 Test runs.
He is playing his 144th innings.
If he gets there in this one, he'd get there quicker than Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, AB de Villiers
