A stunning delivery from Naveen-ul-Haq which will make Afghanistan truly believe that this match is there for the taking. He jumped wide on the crease and, with a combination of his beyond-the-perpendicular action and a snap of the wrist, got the ball to shape back in appreciably, through Jos Buttler’s gate and into middle-and-off stump.
Naveen was taunted mercilessly by the Delhi crowd on Wednesday night when he faced Virat Kohli, with the pair involved in an ongoing spat since the IPL. Despite Kohli’s efforts to cool things down, the crowd again chanted Kohli’s name when Naveen walked out to bat tonight, and when he came into the attack. Really, it is Naveen’s name that they should be chanting.
