The real turning point came in the fifth over of the innings when Rizwan, on 23, cuffed the ball to mid-on off Liam Dawson and Alex Hales dropped the catch. Rizwan gave another chance in the very next over, when Phil Salt missed a stumping off the first ball of Adil Rashid’s spell, and a third much later in the game, when Ali dropped a hard chance at cover. “We take our catches and it’s a different game in my opinion,” Ali said. Maybe. But Azam’s innings was immaculate.
Ali says England will “make a couple of changes”, and hinted that some of the injured players in the squad, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Gleeson himself, may be available. Olly Stone may be more likely. Like Ali said , “in T20 cricket you want people who can bowl 90mph” and England badly lacked that. Ali will know better what to expect from the pitch, too.
