Liam Livingstone six vs Pakistan: Livingstone hits monstrous six off Haris Rauf in Headingley T20I

Liam Livingstone six vs Pakistan: The English batsman played a hard-hitting innings towards the business end of their innings.

During the second T20I of the ongoing Pakistan’s tour of England in Leeds, England batsman Liam Livingstone continued from where he had left off in the first T20I at Trent Bridge.

Coming on the back of a fastest T20I century by an English batsman, Livingstone waited for three deliveries before targeting Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf for his first six of the evening.

On the first delivery of the 13th over, his 14th of this match, Livingstone smashed Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim for a gargantuan six down the ground.

If the same wasn’t enough, Livingstone continued his six-hitting spree as he attacked Rauf yet again only to dispatch the ball out of the stadium. In what was a full, straight and harmless delivery, Livingstone cleared his front leg to hit Rauf straight over his head.

While there hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding the distance the ball traveled, social media reactions claim it to be in excess of 120 metre. Irrespective of the correctness of the same, Livingstone’s six has to be among the biggest ever hit in the sport of cricket.

Before getting run-out in the same over, Livingstone scored 38 (23) with the help of two fours and three sixes. Replacing regular captain Eoin Morgan for this match, Jos Buttler top-scored with 59 (39) on his national return. With bowling figures of 4-0-51-3, Pakistan’s Mohammad Hasnain was their highest wicket-taker at Headingley today.
