ESPNcricinfo staff07-Apr-202419.1 Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR runsShepherd gets going now. Slower back of a length ball off, he flat bats it past the bowler, past the stumps and rockets into the fence between long-on and long-off19.2 Nortje to Shepherd, SIX runsWhat a hit! Slower length ball outside off, he stands tall and deposits the ball flat and hard over long-on19.3 Nortje to Shepherd, SIX runsWALLOPED! Length ball on middle stump, he hopped across and sends it soaring miles, miles over deep square leg19.4 Nortje to Shepherd, SIX runsTHREE IN THREE! Offcutter dug into the pitch outside off, he backs away, generates all the pace and thrashes him over deep cover19.5 Nortje to Shepherd, FOUR runsFOUR MORE! Fuller and on pace on the stumps. Shepherd backs and powers it straight back past the bowler. He’s hit that so hard that there is no chance for long-on to get across19.6 Nortje to Shepherd, SIX runsThirty two runs off that last over. What a finish for Mumbai! What bat speed Shepherd is generating, what power! He finishes on 39 off 10 balls. Fuller on middle and leg, he clears his back leg and flicks it powerfully over long-on
