Tim Seifert 57(43)
14.4
Shaheen Afridi to Seifert, out Caught by Faheem Ashraf!! Done him in the flight. Neat foxing slower one. Seifert wants to go downtown, and he does it hard, early, getting only the inside half as this spoons up over mid-on. Faheem's there, and he's running back, and he's judging it to perfection. They may've fumbled in the field, but Pakistan's catching tonight has been quite an Indian-opposite from Adelaide. Seifert c Faheem Ashraf b Shaheen Afridi 57(43) [4s-6 6s-1]
13.4
Haris Rauf to Seifert, 1 run, 143.1kph, bouncer, pulled uppishly, dying in front of fine leg
13.2
Haris Rauf to Seifert, 1 run, length, on off, pushed out wide of cover
13.1
Haris Rauf to Seifert, no run, 141.7kph, absolutely smokes this cut, and a meter on either side of backward point would've meant a certain boundary. Alas
12.4
Shadab Khan to Seifert, 1 run, short, wide, spinning away, slapped, sweeper
12.2
Shadab Khan to Seifert, 1 run, wide loopy leg-break, making Seifert reach out for it outside off, which he does with an airy slice over point, and on the bounce to the fielder in the deep
11.6
Riaz to Seifert, 2 runs, 111.8kph, cutter, and Seifert's across some more, waiting and nurdling carefully behind square. +2
11.5
Riaz to Seifert, no run, another jump inside the line, tucking then, but straight to square leg
11.4
Riaz to Seifert, 2 runs, 138.7kph, too straight this, slipping into the pads -- clipped round the corner, two pinched, and Seifert has another personal fifty
11.2
Riaz to Seifert, 1 run, shorter, angling across, stabbed backward of point
11.1
Riaz to Seifert, FOUR, misfield. Costly misfield. And Shadab Khan of all people. Seifert jabs it down the pitch, mistimes in fact, and what should've been a regulation diving stop at mid-on, ends up going through the tumble
10.6
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, 1 run, 129.5kph, tap, in front of cover, and a crazy single. Okay, Hafeez doesn't nail his direct hit, but Chapman's dive would've probably got him inside anyway
10.5
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, no run, back of a length, nipping back in and not letting Seifert dab. So he defends
10.4
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, FOUR, another deliberate edge. He's doing some Jadeja here .. lining up beside and in looking to dab to third man ending up with a thick outside edge going much finer
10.3
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, 2 runs, quite a blind heave this. Okay, the Kiwis have picked Ashraf as their target here, and the massive swipe brings a thick outside edge flying down to third man's left
10.1
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, 1 run, 132kph, full, on middle, and Seifert goes through with his drive early, squirting an inside half down the pitch
9.6
Haris Rauf to Seifert, 1 run, 143.6kph, lines up behind and knocks it in front of cover
9.5
Haris Rauf to Seifert, FOUR, educates his edge -- using all of Rauf's pace, opening his bat face and getting it a lot finer than he'd have liked. And a lot finer than third man would've liked. Never mind ..
9.4
Haris Rauf to Seifert, no run, 142.7kph, tightens up further around the tummy. Seifert hops, and jabs defensively down the pitch
9.2
Haris Rauf to Seifert, 1 run, back of a length, outside off, dabbed down to third man
8.6
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, no run, kicks up a touch off a back of a length, which Seifert jumps up to and taps towards point
8.5
Faheem Ashraf to Seifert, FOUR, just punches it on the up. That's all this was, high elbows, full face, and crunches through extra cover. This time Rauf covers good ground, dives, but can't quite flick it out cleanly
7.6
Imad Wasim to Seifert, no run, a crispier steer, but continues finding short third man
7.5
Imad Wasim to Seifert, no run, delicate chop, waiting late on the ball to get close, but can't beat short third man
7.4
Imad Wasim to Seifert, SIX, now that's called a tonking .. Wasim feeds the slot, gets it straighter on the stumps, and Seifert can clear his front leg and pump it into long-on's first floor. 89 meters we're told
7.3
Imad Wasim to Seifert, no run, flat, wide, and past Seifert's attempted flay
7.1
Imad Wasim to Seifert, 1 run, quite short, slapped through sweeper

Shadab Khan to Seifert, 1 run, googly that is on the shorter side, Seifert nudges it to deep mid-wicket
5.6
Riaz to Seifert, 2 runs, short and at the hips, Seifert gets inside the line and tucks it backward of square leg, two added
5.5
Riaz to Seifert, no run, in the air and safe. Back of a length and at the body, Seifert hops to tuck it into the on-side but almost pops a dolly to the mid-wicket fielder, luckily the ball lands well in front of the fielder
5.4
Riaz to Seifert, FOUR, good cricket all round. Seifert backed away and Riaz spotted that, speared it full and outside off, Seifert reached out and sliced it on purpose over backward point, just bounces in front of the rope
5.3
Riaz to Seifert, no run, back of a length around off, Seifert knocks it towards cover where Hafeez makes a half stop

2.5
Shaheen Afridi to Seifert, 1 run, really full and outside off, Seifert bends down and slices it to third man
2.4

2.4
Shaheen Afridi to Seifert, wide, short and down leg, Seifert swivels to pull but it is too far out of his reach, wide signalled
