I Was Focusing On Controlling My Line With The Wind, Says Bashir After 4-fer Vs NZ
Pacers Gus Atkinson: England spinner Shoaib Bashir revealed that he focused on controlling his line with the wind after he returned with the figures of 4-69 on the opening day of the first Test against New Zealand.
Bashir got the wickets of Rachin Ravindra (34), Tom Blundell (17), Nathan Smith (3) and Matt Henry (18) to restrict New Zealand to 319/8 in 83 overs at stumps on Day 1. Comeback man Kane Williamson was the top-scorer for the home with a knock of 93 runs studded with 10 fours after being put to bat first by Ben Stokes.
Pacers Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse also grabbed two scalps apiece to keep the hosts under pressure at Hagley Oval.
