English duo Ben Stokes and Jason Buttler were left shocked after the huge six from the English all-rounder, Moeen Ali dislodge a loose ball outside the Lord’s stadium during the second ODI. The all-rounder made a crushing impact with his smooth bat swing, sending the ball miles thanks to his impeccable timing.
England was largely restricted yet again owing to some more wonderful bowling by team India in this limited-overs leg of the tour. However, the middle-order trio of Liam Livingstone, David Willey, and Moeen Ali gave some breathing room to the bowlers, with some big hits and well-struck boundaries.

Moeen Ali was particularly on it at the Lord’s, as he anchored his innings patiently before pouncing on the loose balls. Coming in with England reeling for 102-5 having lost their entire top-order, the all-rounder was the highest run-getter as he score 47 off 64 deliveries. The knock was laced with just a couple of boundaries and as many sixes, albeit their impact was definitely worth its weight in gold.
The highlight of Ali’s innings undoubtedly came in the 37th over, against a struggling Prasidh Krishna. The young fast bowler failed to bowl at consistent lines and lengths and the batsmen were more than ready to take advantage of it. With the score at 169/6, Krishna slid one ball from around the wicket toward’s Moeen Ali legs, who swiped at the ball in one huge heave. He managed to timed the ball well, as the ball traveled a long way.

The clip has drawn some great reactions from cricket fans all around the world.

Moeen Ali hit two proper pick up shots for Sixes(One Vs Bumrah!!!) and even the one sweep vs Chahal by reaching and playing it on the rise, unlike what his teammates did, seemed like he's set AND he throws it away. These are the kind of games you should cash in the start you got.
