“On a pitch like this as a bowler, I don’t have to do too much. Though it is easier said than done, I just have to hit the right areas. The ball is having this uneven bounce. If you see Steve Smith’s dismissal, in the previous delivery of his dismissal, the ball popped up. And then the ball went away from the same line and length and that did the trick,” Wasim Akram went on to explain on Star Sports during the Lunch break of Day 4.

“It is very difficult as a batter to bat on this pitch because you don’t know the consistency of the bounce,” he concluded.
