In a tense exchange early in the innings, Jayden Seales showcased masterful control and relentless accuracy against Pakistan opener Abdullah Shafique. Over six consecutive deliveries, Seales maintained a probing line and length, repeatedly forcing Shafique into defensive play.
From sharp inswingers targeting the stumps to quick deliveries angled at the off side, Seales left little room for scoring. Shafique, hanging back in the crease, attempted to push and dab the ball into gaps, but the West Indies fielders at short cover, point, and short mid-wicket were equally sharp, cutting off every attempt.
The result? Six consecutive dot balls — a display of pressure bowling that set the tone for a gripping contest between bat and ball.
