Does Will Young have an IPL contract? He should, he loves batting on the subcontinent

[ACT Crusader]

Young certainly looks unfazed by the ball gripping on the deck. Going to have to get a move on because these conditions tend to favour the second batting side.

[No Quarter]

Young should have his ton already. Poor fielding and the boundary padding moved so pretty obvious 4, unsure why it wasn't called.

[No Quarter]

Wonderful hundred to Young

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Young. A great first up ton

[Chris]

Great 100 run partnership really good 100 by Young and 2nd 50 on the bounce for Latham on a difficult surface and under pressure from 3 down,these 2 have given us a shot at a decent score.

[ACT Crusader]

Latham very hit and miss for the last 3-4 overs. Not getting g the strike rotating either.

[ACT Crusader]

What a catch. That went high as.

Excellent innings by Young.

Difficult pitch
Taking spin
Holding up on the surface
Variable bounce especially at one end
Good luck scoring freely on a pitch like that
Latham has done very well to back up Young everyone else apart from these 2 so far has done fuck all.

[ACT Crusader]

Latham with a beauty of a 6 and then next ball completely miss times it and almost lobs one to mid off.

[Chris]

Phillips struggling to get timing on this pitch very hard to get a flow on this pitch.

[Chris]

Good from Phillips we need some boundaries push up to at least 275

[Chris]

Great stuff Latham 6 then a 4 putting some pressure back on the Pakis

[Godder]

300 up in the 49th over. Phillips with 50 off 34 balls and Latham gets his 100.

[Chris]

Brilliant knocks from Young 107 off 113
Latham 118 off 104
And great 60 off 39 by Phillips
Real chance with that score to start off with a win.

[Bones]

I ahhhh....I....nope.

[Bones]

Have mostly had it on mute, have the commentators referenced how much Pakistan are dominating, like they mentioned in the tri series?

[nzzp]

Great result.

Amazing that warm up games may make a difference, who knew?

[KiwiPie]

Good continuation of "under fire" batsmen scoring big runs.

I can hear Bob Cunis' voice saying Pakis in commentary and being met with silence 🤐
