Matthew Renshaw is approaching a century for the PM’s XI against Pakistan, with the innings likely to put the left-hander in the box seat for a Test recall.
After 103 overs, the PM’s XI is 3-290 with Renshaw unbeaten on 93 and Nathan McSweeney 31 not out.
Earlier, Renshaw has recorded the “very rare” feat of scoring seven runs from one ball after Pakistan committed a cardinal sin of cricket.
Renshaw had just run three to bring up his 50, but he quickly went to 54 when an errant Pakistan throw towards the keepers’ end couldn’t be corralled in by Sarfaraz Ahmed and flew to the fine leg boundary.
“I’ve never seen a seven before. A seven is very rare,” Adam Peacock said in commentary.
“It was a moment of real sloppiness from Pakistan.”

Earlier, Cameron Green was been dismissed four runs short of a half-century, after playing a shot he’d probably like back with the PM’s XI now 3-206 after 76 overs.
Green when chasing a wide delivery from Ashraf and managed an edge to wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed to be dismissed for 46.
“He went chasing and he probably regrets it,” Adam Peacock said in commentary.
“You can sense his disappointment.”
