“I’ve played a lot against him, and he’s gotten me out many times. But I knew the lines and lengths he was likely to bowl,” Pollard said.

“I just backed myself – if he bowled short, I was going across; if he went full, I was going to hit straight. He bowled three fuller balls, and they were right in my arc. At that point, I couldn’t hold back, I had to go for maximums. But Rashid is a world-class bowler; we’ve played a lot against each other,” he added.
