"I always bowl fast but I've been trying to bowl better lines and lengths. Plan was to rotate between my plans. Idea was to attack the stumps and it's worked well for me.
155 (kph), hopefully, it happens, but the main goal is to bowl well and pick wickets for my team," Umran Malik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
Besides, Rashid Khan made a blunder during the first half as he failed to judge the catch off Aiden Markram and that turned out to be a six.
