New boy Abbas in for Mitchell, gone for 76.
Will need to have a swing pretty shortly. I thought Bracewell might have come in ahead of him ?
Chapman has belted his way to 114 at the other end ! very big score looking good, especially given the start they had.
Maybe Bracewell thought it was worth giving Abbas a bit more time to get into the game, good captaincy.

Was cool to see captain Bracewell send Abbas in ahead of him
Abbas is good to watch
yep, nice swagger about him. Looks very exciting and confident. His innings was vital in getting over 300 given others failed.
Bugger that he holed out on 52 and didn't end up 58 not out but he still looked pretty pleased with his efforts.
His Dad looked a pretty useful bowler at FC level in pakistan ( thanks cricinfo, looked unlucky not to get a call up for Pakistan )

That's a phenomenal total given our rocky start. I'm always nervous after a score like that that we squandered good conditions early, but we'll find out soon.
I should go look at Chapman's split Vs Pakistan and everyone else, it feels like all his runs come against them.

Average of 41 vs them vs 39 everyone else.
first big score against them, nothing over 50 prior to this.

At this stage of his career Abbas looks like a player who can give you a small number of overs bowling in limited overs formats rather than a genuine allrounder
So according to BC selectors a fully fledged all rounder then

Yeah I feel like we're in more trouble than it looks on the scorecard, since Abbas (or another part timer) has to bowl about a quarter of the remaining overs.
I don't know what the selectors are thinking - maybe he bowled more in the one day or plunket shield, but when I watched him play T20 his bowling was very much handy 6th option rather than core bowler.

Babar Azam has an extraordinary record in this form of the game. Getting him is key. Bowling options are looking a bit light.
